1. Germinating in small pots & transplanting into larger pots, later is better...germinate twice as many seeds...half will be male...usually.

2. The HPS will be OK for vegging..the plants might stretch a little more, than with a MH bulb. A HPS bulb with blue added will reduce that some.

3. 18/6 - 20/4 - 24/0 ...all work fine...your choice

4. Flower the plants until the trichomes are at the level you want to harvest at...8 weeks?...12 weeks?...whatever you chose
...I like 5% amber...about 11 weeks for WW

5. Lights off before harvest ...is usually...1-3 days for most growers
Dutch Pimp Reviewed by Dutch Pimp on . White Widow 1st Grow (Many Questions) 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 Rating: 5
