Don't stress out, and for godsake don't switch all at once. Right now before you change it at all figure out exactly when you want your light on for the 16 hours. The give it an hour of dark for a few days(say 3), then and another hour, then 3 days later another hour. You want to make the transistion as stressless as possible because stress can make your plants turn into hermaphrodites or males. My lastattempted grow I couldn't get thetemp undercontrol and all 10 of my plants turnedinto males.

There are people here who do use 24/0 for the whole veg cycle, I'm justgiving you whatI got.

Next tip, go to the dollar store and pick up any thermometer you can and see ifyou can find shiny wraping paper on sale, you can use the backside like mylar and waste less light.

dont use 24hrs of light, i used this method to see what would happen and all it did was make my electric more expensive, unless your conditions are 100% perfect at all times never use 24hrs of light.

instead get a timer, 5 bucks at walmart, set it to 18 on 6 off and leave it there until they/you are ready to flower, then you can move it to 12hrs on 12hrs off and this triggers flower hormones to the plants.

this still takes a week to 3 weeks to find out the sex of the plants, i am right now 7 days into flower and was able to sex 4 out of 7 plants with 3 being females using the 18/6 lighting.

What are the little bottles? pH testers I hope, if so Your getting somewhere now.

[Kb420Kb]

yep xD it's a pH tester, and the light bulbs are 26 watts =\ i couldent find the 23 watts so i got the closest thing to it. I got 3 ivy's and 3 of some plant that my mom had and like... 8 pepper plants growing and 4 cactus plants growing.

[Chronic Chrissy]

lol steal a street sign. Foil isn't so great as a reflector. Do a search and you should find a fewposts on what material is xx% reflective.
