Mylar isn't the same as tinfoil. I thought it was too, but it's not. Do not use tinfoil to reflect the light though.

Would it be any good using black plastic? Or would I be better off just painting it white?

youd be better off using mylar..

paint it white. Get more light. Keep plants as closeas possible to the lights. You can use the backside of that shiny wrapping paper you might use or a family member might use for wrapping gifts instead of painting white.

Since no one else answered this question, yes you can flower at 12 inches. Actually most people say you can flower as small as 8".

I started flowering mine at about 10-12" because I don't have a lot of height in my grow space. They will double, or triple in size and can get even larger during flowering.

dude if you can put them int he sun for a couple hours at first, a couple hours outside won't give you too much exposure to cops,neighbors etc.

When should I move them to bigger pots?

hi im new to growing and just wondering how long it was before your plants broke the serface and what was your suscess rate thanks

hey they on the average they take 2-4 days and sometimes even sooner after germination, and u plant them

is there any specific method 2 make females flower or they just do it alone within time ??
how much time is expected for a plant to flower after knowing its sex (female) ?

Flowering is a stage of plant growth that is induced by the lighting cycle. When you change the light from 24/0 to 12/12, you have put the plant into flowering. Usually within 2 weeks of flowering you will know which are males and females.

what if a person is growning outdoors :S

first u will see prefloweres showing if its a female or not. it will do it naturally as the days and longer get longer

with cfl bulbs you want to get them about 1-2 inches away from your plants. this will help with your streching problem. then get more bulbs if you can i am using a 150w cfl i am getting great results. just added a 27w cfl for side lighting. wile i build my flowering chamber. jus rember to keep the cfls as close as you can with out burning them. most important thing to do is use common sence. most weeds are hard to kill . if all else fales check the grow faq at the top of the page lots of good helpful info in there. gl with your grow
