How big should you let your plants grow before you put them into flowering?
Space isnt really a problem here.
The plants are outside at the moment as there only small and its nice weather :D
However when flowering i will be doing it inside, Theres only 6 plants in total.
Oh btw the plants are Voodoo by dutch passion

Many thanks.:rastasmoke::thumbsup:
Oh yeah also, what bulb will i need for the indoor growing? Keeping in mind there are only 6 plants.
Cheers :thumbsup:
Is there any way that you can just let nature take it's course and let them flower outside?
If you can't and absolutely have to do inside HPS, or high pressure sodium, lights are best for flowering. You'll need a 400w- preferably -for 6 plants. You could flower with floros, or envirolites, the price and the heat will be much less but so will the yield. Use a floro in the red spectrum if you go this route. Once the plant(s) is sexually mature, displayed by alternating nodes, it is ready for flower. And you said that you have all the space your want, but keep in mind that that once put in flower a plant will double or triple in size.
A lot of good information can be found in the faq's too. Hope that helped.
Good Luck,

Any time I've brought plants indoors from outdoors I had a problem with spider mites. Disgusting little creatures. Be careful and check them out real good and treat them before bringing in. Good luck.
Make sure your plants are insect free before you bring them inside to finish and try to listen to my show to learn more.Quote:

yes they would be getting more than 12/12, so they would not be ripe untill the end of sept. beginning of oct. hopefully. if they were mature enough right now you are still looking at 7-9 weeks before they are done if you bring them indoors, maybe more. (i didnt look at your link, just an average amount of time) in my opinion, whats a month if you can save the hassel of moving them indoors, buying a light and fan,dealing w/ bugs and summer heat indoors if you can leave them outdoors? buy a light for the winter and then expieriment after you have seen a regular life cycle. get seeds, and/or try to take some clones from your current crop in addition to the buds you will get.
Sorry mate, not to sound rude, but either im very stoned ( which im not ) or that is uber bad punctuation...??? I'm not one to speak, hell im a dyslexic stoner ;), But seriously can you type that again in better ENGLISH?
Cheers
Peace :thumbsup:
ok, here we go again. i was saying that if you can leave them outside, i would. it would only take an extra month or so compaired to bringing them indoors and putting them under lights, if they are mature enough to flower right now. it has more to do with maturity than how big they are. you can start to flower earlier, but right around 8 wks old you should be able to see preflowers or alternating nodes(meaning maturity) then consider it will take about another 8 wks to fully flower under 12/12. the sunlight will be better than any light and also give another month of growing time(bigger yield). heat and bugs could be a problem bringing them indoors during the summer. why not wait untill winter time to try growing with lights, and either take seeds or clones from the plants that you are growing this summer. does that about cover it? lol. as far as lights go you would want a hps for flowering. a 400w hps should cover about a 3x3 area or 9 plants in 12 in. pots.(5 gallon buckets are about 12in. across) some would say less plants, but i would cram them in. no offence taken. i had a few beers.
