Hello people,

I've got a quick question. I'm about to receive some seeds (if all goes well) and I wanted to check with you guys about my plans for those seeds.

System Recap: 1000W, Hydro NFT, LST SCRoG (like HarddOn's)...

Here's what I wanted to do:

1- Seeds arrive, I plant a couple (3-5) in Rockwool
2- Give them 24/0 until XX number of days. (CFL lights)
3- Have them grow a little bit, then change to 12/12 so they can flower, thus enable me to know their sex (male/female)
4- Once I've got my female, I kill off the males, then proceed to take 12 clones from my female
5- I prepare the clones (per Zandor's excellent FAQ) in a hydro bubbler cloner (custom built)
6- I give light to the clones 21/3 for YY number of days.
7- I transaplant the 12 clones to my growing cabinet, into their final mesh-pots filled with lava rocks.
8- Light them 21/3 with 400W MH for aprox 18 days.
9- Flower them: 12/12 with 400W MH + 600W HPS for as long as necessary.



How many XX days aproximately in step #2?
How many YY days aprox. in step #6?
In step #6, should I use CFLs or my 400W MH? Should I hold the MH until my 5th set of nodes?

Another important question: If I already 'flowered' my plants in order to know their sex, what should I do to take them back to vegetative so I can take proper clones? Is there a way to know the sex in pre-flowering with this hurried time-schedule?

I welcome all input, opinions, suggestions and questions. This that I'm talking about here is still about 1 week, 2 weeks into the future, so we still got time to plan it.

Thanks guys,
