Indica flowers quickly and doesn't need the extra push of 11/13.
Some hybrids I have grown will flower just by giving them bloom nutes!

Heat will be an issue. Can you get your hands on some insulation? Styrofoam room with some ice will stay cool :)

Growspace is surrounded by styrofoam already ... lol i'd need tons of ice! I could use those plastic camping "ice" but they stay cool a few hours only i should change them many times a day... heat will be higher when lights are off, during the day, nights, when lights are on, temp won't be higher than 26/28 celsius. I just started one month too late. Hope i will be able to manage it. Btw, if i had grown them under sunlight, during daytime temp would be much higher. Thanks bro for your support. Going to feed them now with 2cc/liter biobizz blooming nute.. see ya

Wow. Stretching and flowering good, except the sativa dom still nothing. The tallest blueberry headband got shiny resin drops already. Took off some leaves and lower branches... my hands smell a lot! I've lifted the lights a couple of inches, i have 30 inches more to reach the roof.. if they strech this way i'll have to bend them down. Now temp is 21 celsius, inside home i have 22. Where do you live Mohican? Is it legal in your state? Here is still forbidden, italy is a shitty country

I live in southern spain... my plants didin't mind the summer heat, up to 38/40 some days. They were fine. Just make sure there is some air blowing over them, like a fan or something.

The blue dream will flower eventually... they all do.

Hola Jigfresh! I was in Sevilla last november, and in san jose de almeria 30 years ago..great land. Gracias, i had never grown indoor in summer cause i was afraid of high temps. I got vents enaugh to breeze them :)

I have never gone 12/12 from seed that I can remember. I have grown indoors though... a few years back. That was when I lived in the mountains and had almost no sun. These days I'd prefer to save on electricity bills and use the big light in the sky. :) I do miss my hydro setup though. Soil is sooooooo slooooowwww.

I stopped too growing indoor for hps lamps consumed too much electricity. But led lamps not. With only 50 euro i got a 300w (nominal wattage, real is really much less) and it costs on the bill about 7 euro/month at 18/6, thats nothing. I must say that i have solar cells on the roof but i run light almost always on night time so i use them from dawn to 12 am, when light turns off to turn on at midnight. I was very surprised with this lamp, internodal distance is very (sometime too) short, fast grow and big and heavy colas. Obviously the final weight is not so much (expecially 12/12 will give no more than 10/30 grams for plant) but in a small space, 80x80 cm can put 12 plants to have 120/300 grams with that small light. I used to let veg for 1,5 months then turn 12/12 but i needed to go faster, i got nothing to smoke and i cant spend money on shitty and expensive hash on the "market". And having my plants alwsys under my eyes is beautiful :). Growing outside is much better for the yeld, but here is not legal , guerrilla is too risky and my wife doesnt want in our garden. I know in Spain if you join a club can grow some plants legally, you're advanced italy is a fucking nation trust me... with a single plant you can have more than 500g.. even if you have to wait late sept/november to harvest and rain or cold, expecially for sativa doms, can be nasty. Maybe a led lamp could help you to grow a few plant at home added to the ones under the sky..

Update.. week 7 from seed, week 2 flowering (except blue dream)

Put some pictures.
I believed to have single colas... that's not.
Most plants got well developed branches, i'm not sure to crop. I think cropping them won't increase total yeld, better, would decrease it. Maybe potency of lowers will be less... but i cant crop them :(
The advanced one already shows resin. At second week flowering. I love it!
Last pic is blue dream it seems to have a very tiny preflower... but VERY

You never increase potential yield taking plant matter off....you can increase/improve bag appeal, density, structure, airflow....but you’re never going to get more out of a plant chopping pieces of it off.

Ty. This worths for the power of the plant too?
Depends on if you have adequate light intensity to get all the way through the plants to the bottom/of youre happy with some larfy shit when you’re trimming. I tend to take off the entire bottoms of plants first 3-4 nodes from the cotyledon as they grow, then strip The inside when i flip and then once or twice a week through most of flower. But I’m not into larf so I end up throwing away a bunch of fluffy buds I don’t want to trim if I don’t defoliate.

defoliation isnt better or worse than all natural plants, but you should always have a reason you’re removing anything that generates or stored energy for your plants.

Thank you kmog
Very clear. Light is quite intense but cant reach the low properly. Upper leaves of taller plants cover some light to shorter planrs tops too.
I think im going to crop less developed lower branches up to the third nod, and defoliate those big leaves that shade too much under them. I've already cropped some of them during the growth and pants did not suffer ar all.. are just exploding :).
