Hi everyone I’m just getting into growing I’m a day older than god and disabled but never the less I’m trying to give it a go but have watched so many vids my head is pickled so my 1st question is. How long do you keep your lights on for ??? Got to seedling stage just not sure to go 18 n 6 or 24 like someone else said on autos for better yield is that right???
And many thanks for those who point me in the right direction
 
I wouldn't overthink things too much. Pick a light schedule between 18/6 and 24h and give it a whirl.

24h schedule MAY give you slightly more yield and the plants MAY finish a little bit sooner but you will be paying more in electricity and if you have over heating issues you may want a dark period anyways to let your area cool.

Personally I would just go with 20/4 or 18/6 and stick with it.
 
I use different schedules throughout the grow to keep Temps up during veg .
My current grow started at 24/0 is now 19/5 and will go to 18/6 as the weather warms up.

I prefer to go with 6 hours sleep.
That way I am guaranteed to not have my nose in the tent for 6 hours a day.
So hopefully less chance of me fucking things up.
That's my scientific approach.
 
Thank for your help and replying to my question makes things easier for me As I’m as much use as a cat flap on a submarine my next question is I was told to buy a nft system which I did just wondering about nutrients how many do you need ? I see some vids with loads of bottles I have these is this all I need??

Hi Drebin - Welcome To AFN ^_^

:welcome::welcome::welcome:

I've looked at your nutes, and it seems you've got the basics covered - Veg Nutes ... Flower Nutes and some flower boosters.

You've got a Hydro Kit (NFT) and i really don't know many people who grow that way (especially new growers), but hopefully someone will pop in and be able to help a bit.
You'll need something for PH and EC management (meters) for hydro.

Happy growing and good luck!! :D

:goodluck:
 
What sort of light are you using. How big is your grow space? Maybe you should try a grow in soil before diving into hydro? Soil is definitely easier if you are just starting out.
 
Good luck with your journey, I’m positive you can’t go wrong with all the help here on Afn. Good point to remember is Less is always more when growing flowers..

I have a 4x4 ac infinity with a 6” fan and a SpiderFarmer se 5000 light and I was told to go nft because I don’t have to lift a lot cause of my spinal stroke
