Darn if I can find it right now, will look later.
Basically, #1. Depends on the strain.
#2. Depends on how big you want it.
#3. Depends on position of planets in relation to the price of gold and the weather in Zimbabwe. (in other words, sometimes you have to guess).
From what I recall, clones or seeds will be under 24 hour light. At some point (I think it's 2 sets of leaves), you transplant them and put them on veg (usually 16 on, 4 off, but a lot of discussions about variations of the day/night cycle, however you HAVE to have some dark period). When they are big enough, (you can cut for clones)switch to 12 on 12 off (simulated late summer/fall) and they will flower. When the colas are the size you want, cut `em, dry `em, and smoke `em!
This is a very condensed version from many posts, books, and videos.
I really wish we didn't have to wait between searches.

The FF scedule does fine for seedlings too, 1 month veg time and the rest budding. Are you growing outside or inside?

If inside, how much lighting do you have and what space are you growing in? These are vital variables as to how long you CAN veg for and not waste space. Total grow time is veg time (>14 hrs light) + flower time (~12 hrs light). Most strains should be 7-10 weeks flowering time, and unless you have some sort of high powered HID, 600w & up, and at least 2' x 2' x 5' for each plant I'd say veg for a month max. The plant will seem small, but it grows and stretches rapidly for the first few weeks of flowering, so don't let it get too big or your light will be used innefficiently/insufficiently.

If outside, wait until late May or June to plant unless you can conceal a huge plant.

Remember it's a weed, and if fertilized well, will grow very quickly. 9 months will give you a tree and a huge power bill to get the plant's full potential. It's better to have a smaller plant with dense, full buds than a tree with lots of small popcorn buds that add up to the same, at least IMO. You'll see why when it comes time to harvest & trim

this comment is for redtails

sir, am growing indoors so can u be specific in what my lighting needs to be & chemeicals if you know so about it .
thankyou for helping me and taking your time to give me your feedback
i really appreciate it, your awsome.


fyi, i got a 1000 watt yield master and am growing inside a shed its not that
big so i do need them to be small but with a big potential of yield for me to harvest.

quick reminder these are the strains i currently have and actually growing i have, -- Purple Power, White Rhino, ICE , Crystal , White Widow

1000 watts may be overkill depending on how may plants you have and the area your growing in.

generally, veg time is whatever you want to make it. look at the pictures ive uploaded. i generally let my clones go 30 days on veg before switching to 12/12. my current plants still have between 4 and 5 weeks until harvest and they are damn near triple in size. the rooted clones pik was taken on 1/12/2010. the 30 days later pik was on 2/12/2010. you can see how much they have grown.

as far a chemicals go, that also depends on what youve got going on, how big your girls are, how often you water, how much light your giving them ( I.E. 18/6 OR 24 HOURS ON VEGETATIVE STATE) ect.

remeber, your plants will generally double in size + when put on 12/12.

as far as fertilizers go, there are tons of recomendations online.

my top link is guide for GROWING MORE FEMALES FROM SEED...it is page out of the MMJ Bible and i used to use this method as taught to me by a breeder before reading it in Jorge's book...so i know it works...the last time i sprouted seeds following these steps i had 100% 10/10 females and over time i would say i averaged at least 80% or better:thumbsup:

whats the wattage on the light u use???

[ShastaCoMan]

the plants you see in the pictures (7 total) are in a 10x20 room (roughly) with 2 400 watt HPS right now. when they were vegging, i had them under 2 400 watt metal halide and they got PLENTY of light ( as you can see)......after those are harvested, ill be cleaning and painting the whole room titanium white, s ill get alot more light by reflection also.
