hey im a newb and i started a little grow spot in my closet i have 2 100 <6500k>watt replacement cfls both daylight and 2 <2700k> small warm white i think its 26 watt i cant semm to find anything bigger in warm whites. and my y splitter blew a warm white out so im now stuck with three lights but ever since i transplanted my seddling to the dwc the results have been fantastic sso decided to start a soil and those are fantastic im three weeks in now and prpoer vegging is in effect my question is when flowering should i take one daylight out and use three warm whites and one daylight or just add two more warms to the daylights??

woodzholla, I would take the daylights out like you said and use the mostly the warm whites. But it's probably also a good idea to leave at least one of the daylights going with them. Right now I just started flowering after about 8 weeks of vegging and I'm using 4 warm whites and 2 daylights.

Hey Roseman I have a quick question for you. I was just wondering at what height you personally start the flowering process? And around how many tops would you say you had from that massive 7oz plant?

If I remember correctly, he said he had 13 tops on that plant.

I don;'t go by HEIGHT to start 12/12. I go by the closest satWHEN DO I START 12/12 FLOWERING CYCLE?

The longer the VEG cycle, the more the yield.
Consider this, in nature, outdoors, we plant a seed in mid to late April. It grows through April, May, June, July, and in mid to late July, as the sun's rays change, the plant naturally changes from VEG to FLOWER, with the diminishing sun's rays. That is nature's way. The plant grows and matures to an adult plant for about 3 to 4 months. THEN, it makes flowers. That is nature's way.
Indoors, in HYDRO with feeder tubes, we cut that time in half, by using 24/7 LIGHT. instead of 3 months, or 13 weeks, it takes about 6 weeks to become a mature plant in HYDRO, with 24/7 LIGHT.

OK, also in nature, we see most animals and humans reproduce at maturity or adulthood. If a human, (or dog or any animal) is forced to make babies before maturity, like getting a 12 yr old girl pregnant, then the babies are weak, or runts, or deformed, and just not at their best.
A dude here, a most experienced, knowledgable grower named fdd2blk (and a MOD here too) taught me a long time ago, that it does not make sense, it is not wise, it is not logical, to make a child have a child, and it is not wise or smart or logical to make an immature baby plant, have babies. LET THE BABIES GROW AND LET THE ADULTS MAKE BABIES.

If you will VEG for 5 weeks, to 6 weeks, you will have more time for proper TOPPING, PRUNING, AND FIMMING, and you'll get bigger plants, and you will also have a mature adult plant, ready to make healthy, stronger babies (flowers) .

If you begin Indica Flowering, after VEGGING 3 or 4 weeks, you will harvest about 60% to 75% of what you would have harvested, IF you had waited and VEGGED for 5 or 6 full weeks.

This info applies to rapid growing in Hydro, and to Indica strains. NOT slowly in SOIL, and NOT Sativa.

I average 3 to 4 ounces per plant, VEGGING 5 to 6 weeks, and I have gotten 7 ounces from one plant, the one you see at my signature. I got that with planned, proper Topping and Pruning and Fimming, and creating more tops or cola sites.


If you need info with pics on Topping, Pruning, or Fimming, let me know.
urday to 6 weeks.

Thanks man I was just curious to see because I just started the flowering process on my blue venom after 8 nice weeks of vegging and at a height of 27 inches tall. I counted all the main tops on her and honest to god I counted around 20!! So I'm really excited to see how much the yield is. I did also find some bad news on my last check on my girls; The G13 Diesel plant I have growing with the Blue venom is a male But I'm planning on taking a few clones from both plants and crossing the clones to get some seeds and create a new strain that I'm going to call G13 Venom But I'll keep you updated on how it turns out and if I have any more questions throughout the flowering process I'll make sure I ask you. I'll also post some more pictures soon when some buds start to form.
