is a PC grow like 2x4 or sumthing
It's usually a grow inside a computer case housing.

u need to vegg with 24/0 lighting for 2 weeks maybe 3 then switch to 12/12 for flowering
You don't "need" to veg at all. Your lighting schedual doesn't "need" to be 24/0 for any time.. you can start veg at 18/6, 19/5, 17/7... (I wouldn't suggest it but some go as low as 15/9).

I'm inclined to agree with the guy who said keep your shit as 12/12.


I'm not saying I'm an expert by NO means.. but that information is flawed and not me ripping on you.:peace:

12/12 from seed youll get like 2g off it.. you need to do atleast 2, 3 week of vegt first on 18/6 and when its a seeding you can give them 24/0 they love it for the first little bit... imo

:oWOW im amazed at all the responses to this one. THANK YOU ALL OF YOU. so far its been on for 22hrs sine 930 yesterday morning. and it has SHot up a nice little bit. if i do 24/0 for a week then drop it down to 18/6 for another 2 weeksand see what i have to work with there. would it be possible to go to 12/12 get it to flower n then hopefully start budding?

and if i node it at a certain point cant i grow it wide in the pc grow box rather than going tall? wil its yeild of precious buds be any different?:confused:
:peace: THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE REPLIES YOUR LIFE SAVERS! ( the red ones r best, but i like coconut ones too) :peace:

sorry to do a dbl post. its
7 inches wide. 14 inches long and a foot and a half tall. got 2 fans one out one in. and a honking big cfl light i found around the house. im going to start a journal and post up pics today
 
Hi

I by far am not an expert but in my opinion I would do 12/12 from start. Why I say this... I am currently doing my first grow and journal and started in a larger space then a pc case (18" deep, 40" wide, 23" height)and with cfl's. I started my 4 plants on 18/6 and when they were 32 days old put them on 12/12. My plants are into 9 days of flower today and one is over 28" (not counting pot it's in) and growing every day. On day 6 of 12/12 started one of my plants showed female and one male. I am currently waiting on the other two to show. My 4 plants out grew first grow space, I had to make larger grow space they out grew that now they are currently in a closet grow space. My next grow I am going to do the 12/12 from start.
