ok my first attemp at growing seems to have fuckked right up but i have some nice new seeds comming from the dam can anyone answer any of these questions. When should you flower a plant..... from what i can gather people say when it reaches a hight of aprox 30 cm is this true How far away from the plant should the light be if i have a 250w son lamp. Any other advice you may think i need will be greatfully recived please help:confused:
I wouldn't flower anything under a foot, but that's just me.
The plant produces a hormone (phytochrome) beginning at germination. When this chemical builds up to a critical level, the plant changes its mode from vegetative growth to flowering. This chemical is destroyed in the presence of even a few moments of light. During the late spring and early summer there are many more hours of light than darkness and the hormone does not build up to a critical level. However, as the days grow shorter and there are longer periods of uninterrupted darkness, the hormone builds to a critical level. Flowering occurs at different times with different varieties as a result of the adaption of the varieties to the environment.
The potency of the plant is related to its maturity rather than Chronological age. Genetically identical 3 month and 6 month-old plants which have mature flowers have the same potency. Starting from seed, a six month old plant flowers slightly faster and fills out more than a 3 month old plant.
Basically, I would say anything over 10 inche is up to you. :thumbsup:
If your plant finishes at 30cm without supercroping it was probably put into flower after veging for two weeks.
Nice post Grim, a weath of knowledge in a few short lines.

Thanks for that info was a great help any more would be cool like how close should my light be etc. grim thanks for your post
YOUR LIGHT SHOULD be as CLOSE as it possibly can without burning your leaves.. a 250watt bulb that is vented properly should be 2-6 inches from the plants..
THIS WILL DIRECTLY EFFECT YOUR BUD SIZE, WEIGHT AND YIELD..
love
i tryed to move my light closer and it burnt my plant to a crisp in hours its a bit closer now but its nowhere near 2-6 inches its a big light through i got it from a factory it gives off alot of heat
its only very basic as i am a nee grower but i have some new plants and they are growing great
