very true and very good advice. thank you very much 420warrior for the good info. yea i was thinkin since i planted another seed (well another one i had germinating and sprouted from its shell today) tonight and put it under the lights, maybe ill start the 12/12 cycle tomorrow and see how they both end up. one somewhat growing plant and the new seed. before i started the cycle id have to transplant and add the nutes first right? like osmocote for example which i plan on using?
Hey teach, im doing a small closet grow also. I think my plants are about a week ahead of yours. If you want, follow my journal so you can see whas coming up. This site is filled with great info, but it is a lot of info to retain at one point. I would suggest reading whatever you ca on the next step, and save the other stuff for later. I will read more about curing a few weeks before I harest, and will read about harvesting a few weeks into flowering and so on. I am also using CFL's, one 250w CFL under a hood. My space is 28" by 28" by 8'.
Loos like you are doig good. Good luck with the grow!
I would definitely consider using a Scrog or LST if you have height restrictions. This allows you to get the maximum yield from a low ceiling.
I went with some Modular Scrogs (I needed the mobility), and despite my best effort to kill them, so far they are doing very well just after their first day of 12/12.
If you need any additional info on scrogs feel free to ask or pm.

Just go to the journals in progress section and start one. Give it a name like first time. That will pull all the old farts like me out.
Growing is a love and a passion. Some people enjoy growing more than smoking. But it is a waiting game that teaches you patience and discipline. Think of the Karate Kid or something.
You do not take a tropical fish from the fish store and throw it in the tank. It will die. You have to soak the bag in the water until the temperature is brought to the same in the bag as the tank. It is a living thing, just like weed. You can over love it when it is young. Reading and studying is a good thing to do while you grow.
So generally you start a seedling and let it grow for about 6-8 weeks. Considering your space you may just want to stick to 6. Not a hard fast rule, you have to study the plant while it is growing.
So after that you flower them. That is usually about ten weeks from the time you flip the lights to 12-12. I may have read you are going to start at 12-12??? Anyway, 12-12 starts the flower cycle and for most of the indicas out there it is about 10 weeks from the time you switch the lights until harvest.
What strain is it? If you know the strain you can look online by the strain name and get tips specific to that strain. It will tell you stuff like if it is too hard to clone, does it respond certain ways by certain nutes, how much does it stretch during flower etc.
Good luck man.
