What should my ON/OFF light cycles be like? For VEG. and FLOWERING? When should I switch from VEG to FLOWERING light cycle? My Bubble Gum Clone is about a foot tall, the guy at the club said it should start flowering in 2 weeks if I switch the light cycle.

If you flower now, it will continue to grow, somewhere between 1/2 and doulbe current size. so if it's 12" now you can expect it to finish somewhere around 18" to 24". I veg on an 18on/6off schedule, everyone flowers on a 12/12 cycle. some people will give an initial dark period of 36 hrs b4 going 12/12. I have yet to try this...:peace:

If you could ask him and post it, That would be great, maybe I'll just call around, but clubs are kinda sketchy about giving out info, always afraid of tha DAMN DEA! Thanks

Yeah I always wondered about that...Why can't they give info over the phone? Is it apart of an agreement if they are licensed to sell medical marijuana?

So I am going to start my 12/12 light cycle tomorrow so the plant doesn't get to big. PLUS I WANT TO SEE IT FLOWER! It is currently under 4 x 100w CFL's, how close should the lights be to the plant. The are connected to a fixture that splits into two, and then I have 2 more that slpit from each of those.
It looks like this...

Except the bottom two are turned sideways so they light up from FOUR POINTS...

With CFL's you can almost touch the bulbs with the tops, they don't get to hot.

Rule of thumb: If the back of your hand doesn't burn then it is far enough away. You will be moving it every cpl days for a while till the growth stops. Do Not forget to monitor how hot the light is getting your tops!!!!!

Good luck, and post lot's o' Pix....
