How early can one start the flowering process. How tall should a plant be. I dont want to put them to 12/12 too soon.
Its best to start flowering when you knwo that they are mature. If your plant has alternating nodes, that is a good way ot tell that they are mature. otherwise your buds will not be as good.
The thing is that I've got 2 kinds of seeds, 1 that once before gave me a top bud the 2 times the size of my forearm and produced a yield of almost 300 grams and the other is an unknown variety. "to me anyways" I've seen 1 to 2 ounce plants that had exelent bud, my goal is to produce exelent bud from seed to smoke within 3 and a half months...
Assuming it is indica dominate give atleast 6 weeks veg and this gives you 8 weeks for flower to fit your 3.5 month schedule!Waiting till veg maturity at 7-8 weeks only assures you that plant will yield maximum of varieties potential.You can put in flower at any age ,affects only yield not quality! These were thrown in flower at 6 weeks veg and will yield .5-.6 grams per watt(600 WATTS) after harv.6 weeks in is about the point where no yield loss begins! Good Luck!
So I'm just starting, 1st time grower, and I needed to know how do I exactly germinate them? Like just put them on a wet papertowel or in a bag with a sponge in it, and would they need a light put on them or anything?
Honestly your best bet is to get a good book and read or read faq's from grow sites before you venture into as there is nothing worse than a negitive first time grow detering one from trying again.
I wish I had a digicam, I just remodeled my grow room and added 4, 3 foot long grow lux plant fluro's to add some variety to the colors in the light. after 9 days from seed I've allready got my first 5 leaf branch. I've grown pot a couple times but I've never seen five leafs until at least the later part of the second week.
