First Ever Grow!

Why would you give it 24hr darkness before flower, I've heard that before then heard its bad advice, it will defo stress your plant, just put it to 12/12 when you want but leave out the 24hr dark period
 
There is a few things about the dark period that are floating around. You will have a slightly stressed plant. I did a dark period(I believe I did a 30hr dark period) and they were stressed your could tell by the twisted leaves that were upside down. Once my light came back on it fixed itself that same day.

The thing about the dark period before 12/12, it is to promote a quicker preflower period. From personal experience, my plants showed signs of sex in FIVE days. I have heard that others have had to wait upwards of 1-2 weeks before showing sex. My next set of plants I will not have a dark period and I will go directly into 12/12 So till then I don't have a control for these statements yet.:thumb:

Nice grow, I like how most all grows are a live and learn thing.

You mess it up and guess what you learn from it. Four plants in that tent is nice. Would be SWEEET if they were all girls, then youd be in for a nice treat at the end of the grow, especially if you grow them over two feet. Good luck with everyhting, ill be checking back.
 
welcome jcallesano,i bought fem seeds so it should be all females, plus they are already a foot tall after 4 weeks so im expecting them to grow to about 3 feet tall.

thnks for stopping in

:peace:
