    Hi guys my first grow one plant she is 11 days in soil my question is how many hours light/dark? I do now 12/12 in grow tent. Many different opinions and they all differ not sure which cycle will be best for my girl. Will really appreciate any help. Thanks.

     
  2. NORMALLY PEOPLE DO 18/6, IT IS UP TO YOU, AT 12/12 FROM THE BEGINNING THE PLANT WILL STRETCH  CAUSING IT TO BE BIG, I RECOMMEND 18/6, SOME DO 24/0 BUT FROM WHAT I KNOW, IT WILL GROW ABOUT SAME AS 18/6, ITS CHEAPER IN ELECTRIC AT 18/6
     
  3. Thanks will change it 18/6.
     
  4. Usual is 18/6 for Veg and then 12/12 for flower its tried and tested.
     
    Some people slightly change an hour or 2 here and there but its best to stick with 18/6 and 12/12 for your first grow.
     
  5. Thank you guys you really helped me.

  7. Switch to 12/12 whenever your plant is 1/3-1/2 the size you want it to be when it's full grown
     
  8. Your plant looks beautiful man
     
  9. id say leave it at 18/6 for like 2 more weeks or so, the longer its in its vegetative growth stage the bigger the plant, the bigger the yield, if u have the space to spare. by the way they look healthy and beautiful plants bro
     
  10. Thank you guys all of you . And I'm a girl :)

    Bring the cfl bulbs down to about 3" above the plant.
     
  14. I loved looking at my girls when they were that age. I love the "cheerful" posture they take, shows you they are loving life. Looks and sounds like your well on your way! Good luck.
