I agree with Tom: you're probably not going to get as much bud as you think you are. This is because you aren't going to give your plants enough time to grow before it'll be time to harvest. If you get two ounces from two plants starting at 12/12, that'll be a miracle.

Not trying to crap on your grow, it looks like a great setup! I would reconsider the 12/12 right now. If you're in a hurry, let them grow on 24/0 or 18/6 for 3 weeks, then put on 12/12. You'll get a MUCH bigger yield.

Good luck!

u guys i dont really care about yield...

i just dont wanna get caught... and if the light was on 24 hours 'id get caught cause my setup has light leaks... so yea... and ill say it again.. outdoor plants would get 12/12 so whuts the big deal..

[TomStoner]

so whuts the big deal..

You will find out for yourself in a few weeks.

Completely understandable. That's smart thinking. Getting caught is the pits. I just don't want you to be really disappointed when it comes time to harvest and you don't have nearly as much as you're expecting.

However...as long as you don't get caught, you can always do more grows :rasta:

okay how bout this...

i keep 12/12 and up my lights by buying 2 more cfls...

right now i have 3600 lumens in there if i get 2 more ill have 7200 lumens... that should be good right?

but im not gonna put the other lights in for another couple weeks maybe when it gets more leavs.,

watchu guys think?

[Kbrandon]

I just looked inside and baby bella was lookin sexy so i took a pic...

her first leavs are starting to fill out... and the stem seems like its getting stiffer and stronger too...

Since stealth is a priority for you (and you're saying your only option is to do 12/12) I'd say go for it.

The worst that can happen is it doesn't yield hardly anything You can always try again; you'll only have lost a few weeks time

Sending good luck to you!

Just my opinion, but if you have light leaks out that worry you about being caught,....then those same light leaks will cause light from your room to enter during the dark period, causing weird growth, and stressing the heck out of your plants..(which the 12/12 from seed will also do before it is mature..) Your best bet, seriously, is to do your best to fix the light leaks with gorilla tape, weather stripping, anything, and switch to 18/6. Otherwise the risk might be not worth it. You may yeild nothing but hermies, and then very little, weak, seedy bud. If you like the good stuff then why go thru all this trouble just to mess up the most important part of indoor growing...the light schedule? To each his own but many many people have stealth grows that remain un-detected done right. Also, if you are that paranoid about detection, then how are you going to control odor? I have had vegging plants smell like crazy, so what are you going to do when the pungent odor of a flowering plant wafts out of your exhaust and those light leaks? Strategic placement of clutter can help those light leaks also. Why not have the lights come on at 12 so they're on when you are asleep, and nobody is bothering you?

[Kbrandon]

What am i ... a talking parot?

i feel like i keep repeating myself..

im not switching to 18/6... so yea...

everybody just kick back roll a blunt or a joint then check out my grow... and if i ask for an opinion then offer it...

if u think i could do somethin better im open to suggestions but dont keep harping on the subject if i say no.

[dadank54]

Brandon, you've got people trying to help you. You WERE asking for opinions, now you don't want them?

I hear you: you're going to stick with 12/12. I'd say go for it, and good luck! :thumbsup: I'm gonna keep my eye on the thread and hope to see some good progress!
