We have timers and they work just fine for us.

 

[NYbudTD]

A timer.... and it lets water out when needed? what bout light... timer for that too?

 

[Da420wn]

I got them all on ind bucket systems, I do check the water every day But I only add every other day, so two days alone they should be fine.

yes use a timers for ur lights and as long as you water them ever 4 to 5 days you should be ok

 

[NYbudTD]

[Da420wn]

I got everything on timers and I bought it all at the local hardware store and read books the timing of lights depends

 

[NYbudTD]

[annscrib]

[NYbudTD]

ooo ok... lol like 1 more question when its in ur closet growing... 12hours night 12 hours light...??? or just always have light on... im not understanding the light cycles

 

[annscrib]

yea it took me a while to understand it....but to vegg they say to leave lights on 24/7 but when ya ready to flower them then you move to 12/12

 

[NYbudTD]

When im ready to flower??? Wait so when its growing i leave it on 24/7... and when i want it to bud i go 12/12?

 

[annscrib]

yes

 

[NYbudTD]

ok soo i just want my first plant to be a small one... i put it in an area like 1.5feet by 1.5 feet 2 feet high... put tin foil on the walls around it have a light on it 24/7 and water it like every 4/5 days? that sound right??

 

[annscrib]

yea thats about right.... now im not the pro but what ive been reading yea if you dont want your plant to get real big when it gets the size you want it then flip lights to 12/12

 

[NYbudTD]

most plants flowering stages are from 8 to 10 weeks depends on what plants you are growing
