Nirvana short rider first grow anyhelp would be great

I am growing just one femised nirvana short rider seed under a 125 cfl red spectrum bulb in a grow tent with a clip on fan giving it 18-6 light i am currently at 25 days into the grow and the plant looks healthy and has started to sprout little white hairs she stands at about ten inchs and is nice and busy, here is a pic which was taken just outside the grow room for better lighting for the camera

What i want to no how long from these pics untill she will really start flowering and im guessing because there are a few hairs growing that means she is starting to flower already is this the case any advice on what to watch for and if there is something i need to no would be great thanks guys i have to admit this site has been very informative up to now please barein mind this is the first plant i have grown and is a learning curve for me, am i right in thinking that these little dwarfs are autoflowering and i should not need to change the lighting schedul

Well first off, she looks really healthy. If its autoflowering, you can keep your light schedule on 12/12 to save some on your electric bill. I also recommend you think about a HPS bulb if you want the most out of your baby. Also, when its on the dark cycle, make sure its not geeting any light to it, very important. If your seeing white hairs, its a good thing. You just dont wanna see any sacks or balls where you see the hairs. I know it doesnt sound good, but its true.lol

looks great! I would keep doing what your doing. the nirvana crew is very cool at answering your questions so I would hit them up also. I am no expert on the autos as I find them small and too leafy but probably perfect for your setup, but I heard they will flower faster with the 18/6 cycle and some even rock 24-on cycles and have really fast results. i would drop nirvana a email and see what they recommend. good harvest!

Thanks guys like i said this is just a trail run for me she is a femised seed and can only see white hairs no balls or sacks and she is on a 18/6 cycle and in a good grow tent which lets no light in i no this cause being sad i got someone to zip me up inside and i could not see a thing lol, so what should i expect to see from her in the coming weeks, sorry for all the questions just looking for as much help as pos

from my experience with autos youll get a main big cola with little to no side branching but then again they have been working on the autos like mad and I have seen pictures in adverts(no journals though) of bigger bushy autos. keep us postd!

i will do just dont no exactlly what to expect so ill keep u guys up to date every few days or so and see how it goes

cool i cant wait to see how you make out...might have to rethink the autos

Keep the lights on 20/4...Autos have a life cycle of 70-80 days and don't need any changing of lighting schedule..24/0 also works but girls need their nap !!!

Anyone got any more info for me
