Yeah, it is.. and you can use that.. but I would use 24/7 for vegging... the more light, the longer it takes, but the better bud, the less light, the quicker, but not as good.. You change your lights to 12 12 when you want to start flowering.. this should be the latest you can, if your patient.
once again.. the longer you wait, the better bud, and the idea is to let the plant get as old as it can before budding... Im new.. but Ive read up..
Hope that helps..
Yeh constant light is good to get em whizzing along but if you are growin indoors your plant will grow another 2/3s it,s size in the flowering stage so be carefull of any hight restrictions.
e.g if you have 6ft to play with then you should leave em get no bigger than about 18" or they,ll be up against your light b 4 they have finished to bud.
Disco....
iight, so what about if i start flowering when its a good...1 foot maybe less? cuz, i mean 3ft is pretty big already. i dont got that much space.

ive found that wen ur vegging a plant it doesnt really matter 2much if they get more light one day than the next, this is only from the two plants i grew without a timer tho but id have thought she'll b ok
go to walmart and buy a vacation timer. they are only around 5 or 6 bucks and they ensure a steady light schedule for your plants. why worry about turning it on and off. i am a stoner and could not remember that shit anywyas. buy a timer man. you'll thank yourself later. you cant be leaving the light on like that when you are flowering them. light in the time period when its supposed to be dark is bad for them. it sorta shocks or stuns them. turning the lights back does not have to be done in any particular way. just turn it back. you'll be ok
iight thnx man, i appreciate it a lot. :D

Yeah; you can go 24/0 or 18/6 the only difference is; 18/6 they will show preflowers earlier than 12/12; if they even show preflowers on 12/12. Most strains will not show sex on 24/0. You can put them on 12/12 any time you want but the smaller they are the less your yield will be. I wait till they have alternating nodes. What's alternating nodes you say? It's when your nodes are opposite one another; instead of straight across from one another. When you see this your plant is mature and ready to flower. This strain i have now showed alternating nodes at 8'' and i put them on 12/12 and they have doubled in size in 18 days 12/12. Just remember; they will double or even triple in size when you hit 12/12.
ok thnx man. PAZ
double or triple in size!?!?! no shit. damn. this could cause some problems for my shit. ah well. i guess we'll see soon enough. i'll let you all know if my plants start to push up against the roof. i cant believe that they would double on 12/12 tho. its way less light. just doesnt add up in my primitive cerebrum....Quote:
