New Grower first time grow

[LLWeedJay]

Started growing for the first time recently in a cupboard (3plants), planted the seeds 8 days ago after germination. have attached pictures, they are auto-flowering NLxlow ryder. Planted them straight into the pots after germination from jiffys . using organic nutrients, so far have only used root grow. Curious as to if the plants are too long or ok?, and any other general growing tips? have been using CFL light 250W from the start, on for 24 hours a day.

is a fan essential? when does the flowering stage begin? how long is a cycle usually with these?
any help at all is very welcome.

1) keep uploading piccies and everyone will congratulate you when your girls give birth to bud - once a week is good unless there is a problem u want to show us all
2) your plants r fine and many Ganja God blessings upon them - Aganja
3) no fan is not essential, fan them yourself with the cupboard doors from time to time if you like or blow on them with CO2 rich breath as you utter Ganja God prayers
4) If you use the AFN search functions you will find pictures of many others growing the same strain 4 u 2 compare
5) General Tips??!! - READ AFN EVERYDAY IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED 4 TENDER LOVING GANJA CARE AND ADVANCEMENT THEREOF FROM MJ MASTERS WORLDWIDE

thanks much appreciated, shall keep up pictures, just wondering around when does the flowering stage begin? am i right in thinking in about 2 weeks? and what are the signs or it beginning? Also have been using root juice since planting them, when should i continue using that till? i have been told different thing, and have also started using Bio-Heaven from today.

Hey LLWeedJay, Muddy made a post over in the new grower's forum that will help you a little with your question about flowering in autos i hope it helps.

Also there are a lot of great links there that will help you along the way. You could ask a moderator to move your grow to that area too as there are some good mods there that are geared towards helping new growers. Just an option of you should choose =) Anyways, welcome to the site and I will follow along to see the progress of your ladies! =)

wow thanks alot minmatar, that guide is very helpful, its given me a good idea of what to look for and when to start think about flowering. the seeds said they should be ready in 7-8 weeks which really threw me but after reading this it makes more sense. thanks alot much appreciated

started using bioheaven yesterday when watering, added a small table fan about 1.5m away, and also added a little more soil to bury the stems after having read around. woke up today to see a massive increase in growth, all three plants have grown another set of leaves and look much healthier, so far so good, will upload new pics soon.

the temperature in the cupboard in which we are currently growing is currently at about 31 degrees celcius, from what ive read the ideal temp shopuld be around 27-28 and at least below 30. I was wondering if you have any tips or ways i could get the temperature down, bear in mind this is a cupboard so an extractor fan is not exactley feasible lol, would leaving the cupboard door open for a few hours a day maybe help? thanks

leave it open slightly
