You will need to transplant when the plants get as tall & wide as the planters-- be forewarned- getting them out of terracotta can be a bitch!!

It's going to be a while with that one. First it has to veg, then you have to switch to flower, it will show within a week of 12/12

Transplant soon...like youve been reading. As far as indoor and outdoor grows if you dont have a couple hundred buck to throw at it and you really wan to grow indoors go with CFLs. They are relatively cheap and get the job done. It wont produce like a HPS/MH system but you will be able to control everything indoors. Ive never grown outdoors, for several reasons, but it just seems easier when you have control over just about everything.

Not true at all. Lots of strains show sex while still in Veg. I thought you would have known that shim

I had my CFLs about 4-5 inches from the plant since they dont put off much heat at all. I prefer indoors (mainly because I cant grow outside) but there are so many more risks growing outdoors...people stealing it, law enforcemnt can see it, and somewhat unprdictable conditions are just a few.

Even though I've said that in countless threads, excuse me for not saying it in this one.

Could i use a red Light Bulb Philips 25W ?

You can use that as a supliment when flowering but 25w is definitely not enough light to grow. I used 3- 68w, 2 - 42w, and 2 - 24w CFLs, Im sure you can get through with less but thats how I did mine

Lol at your name. I am only on my second indoor grow, I did one outdoors that didn't go too well because we kinda just left em to grow and came back at harvest. I'm going to be doing an outdoors this year but it's going to be sketchy as fuck. I'd definitely go with a small indoor setup for your first time, it'll be quicker and much less sketchy. Also, a lot of people on this forum hate on Miracle Gro but had a successful first run with the Miracle Gro "Expand n' Grow" soil. It has nutes already in it which is good for a beginner because one of the main reasons people kill their plants when they start is by overnuting them. tldr Use an indoor cfl box, I built one for very cheap. Use Miracle grow "Expand n' Grow" Soil, do not add nutes. Veg 3 weeks and then flip to 12/12. exactly what I did and I didn't have to feed once.
