how long from seeding?

how many hours of light should i let it stay from seed to plant and how many weeks to start flowering?

I hate to send someone straight to the GROWFAQ but that's really the best place for you to start if your as new to growing as you seem to be.

Sure enough, some reading is in order friend. Enjoy!

you can go 24/0, 18/6, and 12/12

a lot of people push 24/0 which works well... I like 18/6 myself because im growing in a small area and like that theres cool down time

also theres a big group of people who are starting 12/12 from seed and having amazing results for plants in small areas... like if you only have 2-3 feet of height you might want to consider it

start a journal and people can help you out, later man

also you flower when youre 1/3 from the total height you want... other people say differently but i find that works

depends what strain/ how tall u want it. i say go at 8/12 nodes. but all depends on ur situation
