Don't let them sit in the same soil for more than 6 weeks, otherwise you'll have ph problems. Start small and transplant often, at least 4 times.

And you will need some kind of ventilation for that 400w hps, and a carbon filter will get rid of the smell. Or, you could do like I did my first grow, and stink up the entire apartment building :jointsmile: Without ventilation I had to keep the closet door open at all times because of the heat, but at least I didn't need to use any other lights in the room.

Some say 20/4 is the best, but they will all work just fine. 24/0 is OK, but that never happens in nature, and I personally think it's a little unnatural for the plants. They should get some dark time, which will help develop the roots.

As for veg times, really depends on your space limitations. The longer you veg, the more you will harvest. Best would be maybe 6-8 weeks of veg, but you can also do 3-4 if you are in a hurry. There are really too many factors to give a straight answer on this.

Happy growing :jointsmile:
