Whats up?!.:tiphat: Forgive me for my English ;)

This is my first crop, intended to cheat the experience. The plant is AK47 x WR AF

Box: 30x30x70cm
Lighting: 2x 30W fluorescent
Ventilation: 2x PC Cooler
Soil: the dried-up lake nettles grow beautiful :>
Temp. 26*C - 28*C
I have this idea that the first four days to give them 24 / 0 after week 18 / 6 followed by the end of 12/12 it's good idea?
And now the pictures :>
Box:

1day:

Looking good kipson!

Front row seat for me!

Maybe you'd want to consider not doing the 18/6 and go straight into 12/12. It'll help in the long run, trust me, I haven't put my babies into 12/12 yet(doing that tomorrow) and I'm regretting not flipping earlier.

Just my 2c though. :)

It's pretty much up to you when to switch to 12/12. I'd say let them veg at least a week then 12/12 from there. You can veg as long or as short as is suitable for your grow unless I'm mistaken. Some people veg a week or two,others a month. It all depends I guess. Just don't take too long to flip to 12/12.

Wait around a bit and see if anyone else has any other advice then go with what you feel like you wanna do.

Remember its stealth ;)
I would be lucky if it was 12/12 then it would be less dangerous and everything :)
and as for fertilizer biohumus day 14 and need something else?
I do not want to give rippen. Overall, I would clean nature ;)

Oh, I get what you're saying.

Since you're growing stealth and want to keep them small,switching 12/12 earlier will give you shorter plants when they're mature.

You mean to say you want to keep this grow organic,right? I don't know much about organic growing so I can't help you out with the biohumus question. Any organic vets out there that can lend a hand?

yeah i want to keep them organic ;) but reconciled with that, but I have to buy fertilizers ;<
But anyway thank you for everything you just write something here and help ;)
with the light and I mean that I saw anyway as people gave 12/12 from seeds and had a really nice yields ;D

Always glad to help dude.

Exactly my point about the 12/12. If you start them off with that light schedule it gives a significant boost in growth. :D

Hello Kipson !
How high is your cab ?
What strain of weed ?
Sativa/Indica ? Ruderalis ?
What kind of light ?

I´d say, Indica, give approx 2-3 weeks 18/6, then 12/12. Actually, 10 hrs light is enough, saves electricity. Looks like ideal cab for ScrOG....?
I take a seat, good luck with the grow !

they wont flower till they are mature anyway so 12/12 from start or 18/6 its up to you, but i would flip to 12/12 when they get to be 6 inches tall. good luck.

Auto's, to grow best, need 18/6 the WHOLE way through..I grew an Easy-Ryder awhile ago..they won't grow properly otherwise
do be careful when doing LST with auto's too..they will show pistils at day 20-21 usually...
you can LST until then but you should stop when bloom starts..if you keep the plant as close too the lights at all times, moving lower as she grows, you can keep it short that way too.
most auto's should grow up to 3 feet but I kept her to 11 inches(keeping close to the lights) and got 114 wet/33dry..
just a thought..worked for me..
if you need pics of my grow, or any help, feel free to ask..
take care and happy growing!!

no problem..the reason auto's need more light is their short life span..
if you go into my albums, there are lots of pics..I'll get the thread for you too..
take care

small update:

Exaggerated to the target pots but do not know if this can be transparent or do I cover it somehow.
I have an idea for aeration of the soil, I have a pump to the aquarium, and if I put the tube into the soil where it would be nice gave air to the soil

If so I'd be doing 15 minutes a day sufficed and gave the results?

It looks average-ish for 6 days. Don't worry about it, the growth will start to speed up around the second week. :D

Good luck on the new plant!
