  2. You switch the light cycle to 12/12 when you want it to flower. From the looks of it you read about 2 or 3 posts on here before you tried to start growing. You need to do hours and hours of research before attempting to grow or you are just wasting time and money.
     
  3. ok thank i guess not really answerin my question but i guess everything helps
     
  4. He did answer your question. Except you asked the wrong question. There are usually a small variety of light cycles for the two growing phases. You need to do more reading, but you have Vegetative phase and then Flowering phase. For Vegetative you usually want at least an 18/6 light cycle, I myself along with many others use 24/0. They need constant light until you feel they are large enough to want to bud out, then switch the light cycle to 12/12. You are not "phucked", just switch your light cycle and I'm sure they will recover. On a side note, I read up for two weeks straight on these forums before even starting to buy growing supplies, good luck on your grow :)
     
  5. @stacked i really really appreciate this you explain it i think i do get it now i will do some more reading again thank you foreal
     
  6. Bullistic absolutely answered you in the sense that he told you what you truly need to know if you want to actually grow to harvest smokable bud.

    The thing is, there are sticky threads for a reason -- every day there are dozens of the same beginner questions posted over and over and over. Nobody on here works here, we're all just growers, and no one has the time or patience to keep answering the same things over and over. Instead, this forum (as well as just about every forum on every subject imaginable) compiles that basic info into sticky threads that sit at the top of a section called something like "Beginners." And newbies are encouraged to read through there first before asking the same basic questions yet again. Those questions are pre-answered, so just find it where it's easy to find. Some newbies get bent out of shape and expect a custom answer to their particular basic pre-answered question, those types don't get much help.

    Growing MJ properly does require that the grower learns a lot of stuff, and it's all there ready for you. As long as you have done the basic reading and shown the initiative to learn on your own (the same way all the rest of us did) then your questions are welcomed.

    And BTW you need to ditch the aluminum foil and move those lights closer...
     
  7. thanks dude
     
  8. You can grow from seedling to bud in a 12 on 12 off flowering room. This happens when you only have one room to grow in ; growing both flowering females and starting seedlings.
