Some good stuff guys, The dreaded drought has also forced me to start growing my own.My hydro is all set up ready to go , i am being supplied a cutting from a reputable grower so no seed start for me, i dont really know the guy all that well so i am a tad unsure whether to pick his brains for growing tips hence the reason i have turned to these forums.

i am gonna strt the plant on 18/6 light cycle : how long do i keep this cycle up.
i will only feed fresh water for about a week before adding half the reccomended dosage of nutes which are Aqua Flakes A
i was going to add the remaining dosage of nutes after about a week and then slowly introduce those over a few days.
i have read that the pump should be put on a timer aswell as the light if so what would you reccomend as far as watering intervals go and would i need to eventually put the pump on 24/7.
can u give me any advice on pruning as i want my plant to bush out rather than reach for the sky.
if i can get my weed to the flowering stage without any major setbacks i will be well pleased so i will leave all the rest of my burning questions till then. many thanks guys hope you can help this noobie:thumbsup:
