**rhcp4life** · 03-02-2010, 10:36 PM

this is my first time growing, im growing in a closet about 2'X3'X6'

Lighting a 70w hps 4 23/26w cfl (2 daylight- 2 warm) on a 12/12 light cycle

small fan on high for air circulation

just looking to grow one or two small plants personal use.

im trying to put my plants straight into flowering, i realize they will not get big at all but im just looking to grow a small amount in a shorter time

Has anyone ever tired this?

That could get 1 plant through flowering, if all the lights are positioned right. do you know how much lumens the HPS is rated for.

no not really, im really only looking to do one plant, and possibly "lst" it.

not really sure how to "lst" a plant though just like the idea

You are not gonna get shit unless you let your plant veg for some time.

The plant has to have growth before it can start producing buds...a good recommendation is 3-4 weeks veg if you can.

im doing 12/12 from seed. and lst'ing it

**rhcp4life** · 03-03-2010, 09:20 PM

also they are just bag seeds, i have no idea if they are going to be female.

I have heard if you put them on a 12/12 cycle they are more likely to become female
also have heard this called a "dutch" method..

correct me if i'm wrong

here are some pictures at 1 week old

mine are also 12/12 from seed at two weeks.. I've also heard it called the dutch method.

I'd take that cover off in a week or two rhcp..once the plant stocks up. depends on heat mostly.
