I need a little clerification on the basics...Pls help

LilStAnKy42023 · Jan 16, 2010

I just planted seedlings 2 days ago and i've been searching through here looking for some answers on how to do it right and in a short amount of time... What i have gotten out of this is that they should have light on them 24/7 for the veg. state and then 12 on/12 off when i'm ready for them to flower. And to make them grow outwards i should cut 1/2 inch off the top?

:leaf:

If you have any input, pls help me out :leaf:

You are correct on the light schedules.

Do some more research on Topping and the controversial FIMming techniques.

Ok, thanks b/c i really need to top my plants. My grow box is only about 3 ft. tall and the only way i could grow them anymore, is by topping them.

Be aware that they will double or triple in height after you flip to 12/12.

Look in to low stress training, or lst for short. Start here:

That link was a big help!!! Now I can grow it longer without having to worry bout it getting that tall. And its not as risky as that FIM idea.
