hey...i am starting my first grow in about a month. i have almost everything i need, but there are a few questions i have before i begin. first i only have about six months before the lease on my apartment is up and i will be moving...is this enough time to have good healthy plants that will yield a good amount?...also what will be a good lighting schedule for that time period?..im using two 105 watt cfls(one per plant). second how often should i water them and how much? and finally how will i know when the plants are ready to start budding, and then for those buds to be harvested?...o and also im going to start them in dixie cups, so how will i know when to transplant them into there final location?

i appreciate any feedback that you can offer and will keep you all updated with pics and status reports on my plants once my grow begins...thanx alot

is this enough time to have good healthy plants that will yield a good amount?

that's plenty of time (only if you do it right)

what will be a good lighting schedule for that time period?

vegging - 18/6 & flowering 12/12 (always has been)

how often should i water them and how much?

water only when tops of the soil get crusty dry
or check the weight (light = needs water / heavy = doesn't need water)
water them enough so that water drips from the drainage hole

how will i know when the plants are ready to start budding, and then for those buds to be harvested?

the plants will be ready to start budding itself & you will know after you find out sex
if it is a male, get rid of it & if it is a female then well.. you know you're getting bud

they will be ready to harvest when the about 70-80% of the trichs are brownish/amber

how will i know when to transplant them into there final location?

you can transplant whenever you're ready.. not like months later.. but like about after 3-4 weeks or so.. even earlier

hope that helps & if i'm wrong someone else will correct or whatever.. good luck :D
