1st Real Grow !!! Help with Light Schedule and Timers!

Hi. I'm going to start flowering my plants in a week or 2 and I was wondering if anyone had any advise as of which timer I should get because I've heard of people getting timers that fuck up and other stuff. I want to know where to get a good time for a reasonably low price. Also if anyone has a timer that still works that they could give me that would be helpful too! I can return the favor if need be. No joke. I'll give seeds, bud etc. Just let me know whats up! Thanks! Here are my babies as of yesterday and let me know what you think!

HOnestly i would wait at least 2 weeks before you flower. Flowering a mature marijuana plant will produce bigger, more poten buds...more roots more fruits. You want more node reigons...for more bud...there are multiple reasons, but if you have too/want too thats fine still. I flowered a small plant, spent all that time,money,effort on a less than 30g.

You have to be carefull with timers, they will blow if you over load them. I'm using the Apollo 8 by Titan on running 1x 1000HID and a fan, its my first time had running about 5 weeks no probs, while the one i bought from home depot went after the 3rd day, but thats only good up to 15 amps.

I bought a hot water timer, or lawn timer that cna hold closer to 40 amps to run 2x 1000 hids at the same time.....bottom line bying the cheapest is not that way to go and pay attention to how much power you are going to need and make sure there is a cusion incase of surges.

I like the ladies, but you will love em more it you let'em get bigger before you flip'em.................have the patience and it will pay off!

Ok. I was going to wait a week or 2 anyway but thanks for the info. That makes me want to wait even more!!

yea man let them get to 12 in. if possible then switch 12/12 lightin u will be happy with the turn out. and remember the bigger pot the bigger the plant (more root space) good luck man

Oh. Okay. Right now I don't have a bigger pot but I will be looking to get one soon and get more lights!

It would hurt to get some literature on the subject matter to go along with what you pick up from this forum

Alright. Will do. Thanks for the help.
