IT's A GIRL!!!..now...how long? LOL

[kuri]

i just found out that my 3 foot plant is a female this morning!! so i have a question and i know it is very general and it all matters on certain conditions but i think most people would understand the excitingness in my question....

so ABOUT how long until i can take my first test bud? i know i've heard the optimum time is right when the pistils start to change to brown and orange..

i am using an NFT system on a 12/12 cycle.... i heard also somewhere that a couple weeks before harvest, i can change the cycle to more dark of about 14/10 or 16/8 and it will hurry it up, but reduce yield... that is okay with me cause i don't want to overload myself as to not let the smell overwhelm.

any comments or opinions on how long i have from today's FIRST white hairs!!

question:if it is 3 foot now....how tall will it is going to be after 2 maybe 3 weeks time?as for the smell i have a suggestion.....open the windows for an hour or maybe two a day during the nights....very late though when everybody is sleepingthat's what i am going to do with my garden

if your plant is 3 feet and you are just switching now to 12/12, you are goingto have a huge plant... hope you have lots of light!!

stick with 12/12...

i have a 400W HPS light. i assume that is enough light. is there any way to not make it grow more? i had to wait to put it in 12/12 due to imbalances in the rez. i really didn't want to wait till three feet

bend it down... bend it over...
bring the light closer

let a fan blow between light and plant.... this way you can keep the light nice and close with out burning your plant : )
