do i have enough light?
Damn lot of stuff there longtimeuser.
Look, cutting clones is a whole lesson. What kind of hydro setup do you have? Seeds can be done in so many ways. If you are going dirt you can just put them in a peat disk, Wet paper towels in a warm place, and when they pop you put them in the grow medium.
The lights you have are only for the beginning. You really need at least 250 to 600w HPS to get your flowers. If you use the fluorescent you will take so long to get the skinniest flowers (but you can do it).
Watts are how much you will pay for electricity. You can get a great crop with a 400watt, but 600 is brighter than sun or equal.
Here is a sort of schedule for you. From clone or where you are now you go for 2 to 4 weeks of plant growth, then switch to 12 on 12 off for lights. Count the days of flowering from the first days you can identify the flowers (not just preflower but a real bud site). Then count your days. If you want really good stuff you have to wait longer. Most plants will take 80 days of flower for full maturity. Almost no one waits more than 60 days. But the fat buds and amber resin of a fully matured bud. Yummy.
Those black lights come on for flowers. Think altitude and closer to the sun and the Hindu Kush and why the resins just flow out of the plant. More UV. So a nice 600w HPS (sodium not halide) and a black light on each side would give you a very wide spectrum. The black lights can get very close, the HPS at least 60cm away from plant matter.
you do know theres a feature in this board called Search... presonally i think people need to inforce that... this Board has so many repeated infomation it's crazy
Yeah, search is a good thing, but so many do not use it. Repeating information does not hurt that much. There is a whole grow section they should go to first. Maybe they want to socialize at the same time?
I always fall into it cause I love growing so much any question is interesting, any answer more information. You and I have bigger problems, how to see that Emery show on tonight! I thought cable always brought the big national networks as basic? I am in Europe so it is impossible to watch unless someone makes a file... hint to anyone who can do 60 minutes interview with Marc Emery tonight??????
Please don't remind me :( i can't view that fucking 60 mins show
i dont think i can get hps right now maybe later the lights i have now,can i go 12/12
i like the interaction of these threads i like being able to talk about my plant with other enthusiasic growers

Sooooo important!!!
Give it more time and leave them alone and check every 12 hours.
