I'm pretty new to this forum and so far I've found it very informative. I'm looking to start growing indoors and this has been the best place I've found. But there's a few questions I have that I haven't been able to find answers for while searching around the site.
I'm going to be doing a closet grow with 4 or 8 6500k 26 watt cfls, and using bagseed. Since it's my first try and I want to get a few grows under my belt before I drop the money on a HPS or MH setup.
I guess I'll just list my questions in order and hopefully some of you guys will have the knowledge to drop on me.
1) When I'm growing, how long should I grow in the veg state and how long should I grow for flower state?
2) during the veg state, what is the appropriate amount of time for light cycles and time cycles should I switch to for flower cycle?
3) Will I get more yield from topping or LST?
4) Will there be a noticeable heat signature coming from my closet in case the fuzz do a fly by?
5)For a beginner is it easier to grow in a large planter without having to worry about transplanting. What would happen if I start my grow in a 3 gal or 5 gal instead of working my way up?
6) With the CFLs, should there be sheet metal or tin foil lining the walls? Does that really make a difference?
7)what is the easiest way to fertilize your plants? and at what ratio fert to water is healthy?
When is the ideal ratio 6500k and 2700k CFL's to use during the veg and flowering cycles?
Any info would be awesome. Sry for the amount of questions but if there's any other n00bs searching for these answers it might help them as well.
I'm planning on starting my grow around thanksgiving (1 week) so I have a little time to get my shit together I hope.
