I've been starting them and keeping t5 bulbs at 16 hrs. When they start to bud I was told to drop it to 12. I put them in 10g growbags. Having them outside most of the time except the last month then I had to move 13 8 ft tall plants I to my basement and they were infected with mites. I got 1000 ladybugs to kill them and let them loose in my basement. The ladybugs shit these little black pellets that got all over the buds. I had to wash all of it in base/acid/water and get rid of the bugs and shit. I hung it all ~4.5lbs and stored it in gallon glass jars. I don't want to go through all that again. But I know there is a better way.
Kek... Just plant some seeds under a veg light in feb/march. Put them in like gallon pots. If your seeds are unknown bullshit (as opposed to feminized seeds) then you can trim a cutting off and stick it in a separate room under a 13dark/11light flower light and tell if it is a boy or a girl. Label it of course and yank the males and feed them to your rabbit (if you are growing weed you need a rabbit or a goat). The females then continue on under the veg light until temps improve.
See indoors sounds great, and it is because you, like a sith lord, have all the control but like the FED you have control but are a retard more or less and cant react properly so you end up with ladybug poop on your weed... Let go of your control and let Nature do the goddammed job. Help it out by giving a good start indoors and great soil and water in spring/summer. Its way way easier and it actually works. Otherwise get the spray and the chemicals and all that shit.
Alternatively buy feminized autoflower seeds and plant like 10x as many seeds in smaller pots and they will flower up in 90-120 days no matter what you do if you keep them above 65 degrees. The better you treat them the more you get. The worse you treat them the less you get.
Yeah thats what I figured. Thanks for getting me there. I like your truth similes mixed in there.
