need some input

This is going to be my first time growing and i done some reading but not as sure as i would like.

Im going to start going with this seeds called 8 mile high (Mandala Seeds) it says its easy to grow and good for beginners. I'll be growing them indoors i bought soil and light ect.

im going to soak the seeds in water for about 24 hours then plant them, but not really sure what i should all do next and how to tell the stages when to do like 18 hours of light and 6 of none and when to start the flowering at 12 hours of light and 12 of none. If anyone could give me some input or have grown this before give me some tips and what to look for.

Thanks guys

advice.. do more research.
Your stages of growth are determined by your light cycle... 18/6 is commonly veg lighting... when you are ready to flip them to flower.. 12/12 will induce flowering. You can veg them as big as you want.. for years. or put them directly into flower.. the choices are yours.

Hey man! Glad to see that you've decided to take this up. It's a bit tricky, but very rewarding. You have alot to learn though. It may seem a bit daunting at first, but since you were motivated enough to get out and buy your seeds, I'm sure you'll do great.
Definitely look around though, and try to see if your questions have already been answered (they almost always have been)
I will throw you a bone though, you can flower whenever. You can even flower from seed. I Vegetate them until they have taken up two thirds of the space I want them to take, then start to flower them. They will fill out the final third during flowering. Good luck!
