    Hey everyone Im just looking for some help determining what my light cycles, watering, and nutrients should be looking like per phase. Ive read a bunch of guides but they all provide partial answers.

    so 4 weeks for vegetative, then 9weeks for flowering or what?.

    so a short guide for my veg. and flowering stages would be excellent. I have a general idea but more exacts would be awesome. Any questions ask.

    im trying to formulate a sort of check list perday for each week. so I can remember when to add nuts. how much and when to water. when and how to flush. and also the watering/nuts/light for flowering too..

    A general idea of what to expect as far as cycle length is helpful ive read alot on how to tell when they are gonna be ripe ect.

    just lookin for a game plan ya kno? and hopfully I can post what I gather and we can get a basic schedual going.


    Fluorescent Lighting

    :Vegetative: (6500k bulbs)
    Week1:
    -Light cycle:
    -Watering:
    -Nuts:

    Week2:
    -Light cycle:

    -Nuts:

    Week3:

    :Flowering: (2700k bulbs)

    -Watering:
    -Nuts:

    Week2:

    -Nuts:

    Week4:
    -Light cycle:

    if any one can help fill this out. I would like to see what others put and if im missing certain factors..

    (any errors or additions let me know)
     
  2. basic light cycle for veg. is 24hr on 12 off? or what.

    flowering is 12 on 12 off?
     
  3. there is no "one size fits all" answer to any of those ..but time on grow is mainly determined by the strain.. if you want the shortest time possible with good yield look into Indica dominant strains..


    but you will get an idea of what you need to know, Here
     

  4. Go 24/0, i find it to work very well, especially starting plants inside to move outside, some people like to let them have dark, but if your inside, fluck it, use indoors to your advantage.

    You can go 18/6 if you like...more natural then 24 hours and then 12 off...we dont have 36 hour days.

    And yes flowering is 12/12
     
  5. so veg = 24/o

    flowering = 12/12



    these two schedules apply to the length of the whole cycle of both stages correct?
     
  6. any tips on nutrients? how often should they be used and during which cycles.
