Light regimen ??

this is my 1st time and most of my plants r around 1' and others only about 6"-7" and i read somewhere about "SOG" and it said desired height is around 6"-8" then cut back lights. Is this rite? Should i wait a lil while longer? I know i will get a much bigger yield if i wait, but i'm tryn to get the most out of it in a shorter time. And what is the overall best and quickest light/dark regimen for the flowering stage? Ive read 13/11, 12/12, 10/14 and even 8/16. Can some one shed a lil bit of light(no pun intended lol) on this matter for me. O and about nutrients...ive noticed some browning/yellowing of the tips of the leaves, necrotic spots on leaves, some twisted growth of the leaves, and a couple deformed leaves. I have used any yet(been about 6 wks). The soil i used was miracle grow potting soil with water control(feeds up to 3 months), but i jus recently noticed the N-P-K on the back of the bag and it wasnt even 1% for any of them. I know that i need some fert but like what kind does ne 1 recommend that i could buy at like wal-mart or lowes or something? Thanx for the advice in advance

Do you have seedlings? Started from seed?

Ga Grown

not sure exactly wha that means, but yea they were started from seeds, germinated in moist paper towel and been growing for bout 6wks(4 plants) and 4 wks(3 plants)

The reason I ask is that you don't know if they are fem or not,true? SOG Is a perpetual crop.You harvest every 3 months.With seedling and not knowing the sex? You would be better off growing to about a height 12 or better inches,force flower and sex them.Take cutting from female and go from there.Sea of Green.That is a seedless procedure.Sinseimillia.Lady phermones all over! Smell that?MMMMMMMM!

you've been growing them for 6 weeks and you only have 7 inch plants?

That's not normal at all. What lights are you using?

the plants that r 6-7in have only been growing for 4 wks, the rest 6 wks(10-12 in). im only using 2 40w flour(didnt have enough for MH or HPS). have alum. foil surrounding plants. so i should wait until the rest reach about a ft? im jus a lil impatient ;) i know the longer u wait the better, but im not lookin for huge monsters, jus a few decent size plants for personal use. i am growing Northern Lights #5 and True NL X 100% BB.....all advice is deeply appreciated.....
