Is this grow schedule possibly?

So, this is my last quarter at college and was wondering if this grow schedule might work.

I'm a first time grower, was thinking about growing 4 plants.

Get the roots grown on my clones: 1week under 100w CFL for each
Veg: 2-3 weeks under 400W MH for all
Flower: 4 weeks under 400W HPS for all
Harvest/Dry: 1 week


would this be doable?

4 weeks flower is not really going to be worth the effort, may take 2 weeks of that to just transit from veg to flower.

Even for a experienced grower 4 weeks just wont cut it mostly likely ull need 7-9weeks tbh in near prefect conditions.

Maybe you canadjust times around, less veg, dry cure later im not sure, but for 4 weeks flower not worth the effort/risk IMHO

I would let the roots grow for a while longer but depends on your strain and how well the roots are growing.....lets say 2 weeks. (you want good strong roots to start)
Then I would push it right into flowering say 6 weeks minimum (push this as far as you can or till they are done).
Then I'd let it dry somewhere else if you could.

the schedule is too rushed. everything is plausible except the flowering period. with only four weeks, there is not much time for bud growth to occur and yield would be minimal, as well as less potent. one option is to is to get an autoflowering variety.. mine are showing sex at 23 days and should be done in another 60 or so. this is my first grow of an autoflower, so i cannot comment on potency or yield. another option is to find someone with some clones that have been veged for a few weeks. this will allow you to get a jump start on growth and squeeze in more flower weeks.

my final answer on this is that is is possible. i would only do this if you already have all the supplies and had to spend no money at all to get it going. with four plants under one light and a rushed schedule, you will be most disappointed with both quality and quantity. save the money until youre out of college and into your new pad..

Cut out the veg, start at 12/12, increase number of plants for a SOG grow and you might pull it off, get fastest flowering strain and start asap. (you could consider autoflowering)

yeah..that's what i was afraid of, that flowering should be around 8 weeks...

i do actually have a little more time, this was just to get done for like RIGHT after I'm done with finals.

this would be the schedule I would probably do:

OG Kush

root the clones: 1.5 weeks under 100w CFL for each
Veg 24/0: 2 weeks under 400W MH for all
Flower 12/12: 6.5 weeks under 400W HPS for all
Harvest/Dry: 1 week

or i could take out a week of veg and add it to flowering

i know i should flower longer, but i'd just like some stuff for after I graduate college ^_^

you cant really say id cut a week off veg..cause even if you do that..your plants may not be mature enough to start flowering..i am in a middle of an experiment of doing 12/12 from germ and its been over a month with no sign of flowers

heh yeah..

i'm not expecting 8 ounces of bud with crazy tris or anything.

i'm thinking i'll be able to pull out maybe 1 ounce of some decent weed


anyone else have some feedback on the longer schedule?

The fastest flower would be AK47, still 6-7 weeks. If you want to have some super tiny, super weak buds, that you have to smoke everything you grew to get something that resembles a high, but most likely is just your imagination, yeah 4 weeks is long enough. Fact of the matter is, buds fatten up the most in the last 4 weeks, not the first 4. Generally speaking, I would also say they don't really gain any potency until the last 4 weeks as well.
