This is my first grow and my first post on these forums. I have a lot of questions so bare with me.

I'm growing in my bedroom closet with a 400w hps light. I think I just might start off with 2 plants and seed them into 2 large pots. So first question is, is it ok to just plant the seed (after germinating) into a large ceramic pot or is it necessary to plant the seed into a plastic cup first?

Now I'm on a budget, so I'll be growing my White Widow seeds with a 400w hps throughout the vegetative and flowering stages. Second question is, if anyone grew white widow, what is the ideal length of the vegetative stage (weeks) and how many hours should the lights be turned on, ideally. 24/0, 20/4, 18/6?

Last question is..on the seed info, it says to flower for 8 - 10 weeks (12/12 light) but turn the lights off completely for the last 2 weeks for really good crystals. anyone know if this is true? I mean did anyone try to keep the plant in complete darkness for 2 entire weeks? Any differneces?

Hopefully I can get all these questions answered because it would help greatly.

O yea, one more thing. How strong is the smell? Like how far away can you be able to smell it from?
