I have a sweet afghan sprout and I'd like to know what is recommended? I have a 2x2 tent and a 250w hps light and all the bells and whistles to get this little beauty on its way.
What is next?

Lights now? And should I go with 12/12 light cycle?

I don´t know whats your growing strategy. With one plant (no SOG), I´d go 16/8. Do not overwater (most common mistake), easy with nutes and watch it grow.

I'm a first time grower so I'm just learning my strategy but thanks for the advice, I'll see how it goes and I over watered the last one so I'll be vigilant. And I'll set my timer to 16/8. again thank you.

Best advice i can give you, watch how others do, there is many of great growers here, Budzbuddha, people around Blaze&Daze topic...

I'm have been researching a few but I'll check these I've recently been looking at fastbudz and there was another couple of guys they pretty much do the same stuff, I'm just trying reassure myself but you also gave similar advice I think I'll have cracked it hopefully.

I have one more question, how far should my 250w hps be from the plant?
18/⁶ not 16 and 8 bud
When it's a seedling you want it higher than normal once it's bigger you drop it down start with 14 inches distance

Yea that's what it's set too thanks for the heads up though I had to check to make sure and I have adjusted my lights I'm just getting my temps down and then I'm set.

Add perlite to your soil next time...I use around 30%. It will help roots grow in simplest terms.
Watering with a spray bottle first week or so works well for me.
Good luck!

I'll get some in for my next plant thanks. And I'll give that a go, I don't want to over water.
I agree Definitely water with a spray bottle till it's a bit bigger spray the soil don't splash the plant also op

I've found a little 50ml bottle should be perfect.
Ideal it's just for the first few weeks till it's bigger and more robust then you can gradually increase how much water you give it

Brilliant, I've heard this is the most delicate stage I've also heard that this strain only takes 8-9 weeks too.
Yeah it's only a couple of weeks tho then there a bit more hardy and as for flowering times odd one might be 8 weeks some be 9 to 10 weeks roughly Ime but it's a good smoke too but it's more balanced in high than the original black domina it comes from cos ime that's more indica leaning in high Vs the SAD photo version from sweet seeds your growing
