First-time grower, long-time smoker.
I found a bunch of seeds in my last bag (sadly), so instead of throwing them away, I decided to give growing a go. I germinated them, planted them and put them in a closet with a 200W bulb. I wound up with about 9 plants and each are about 5 inches tall right now. Obviously I don't know what sex the plants are and I'm guessing I'll wind up with about half males, which is fine (i'll dump those guys when I find them).
Basically, I'm on an 18-hour lighting schedule. It's been only a few days, so I'm probably putting the cart in front of the horse as numerous things can go wrong between now and harvesting.
When do I go to a 12-12 schedule? How long does the entire process typically take?
