Ok Hey RollItUp community. This is my first post ever and im happy and looking forward to talking to some fellow growers. Ok so I never really grew marijuana before but i have successfully germinated 5 seeds when I was bored one day. I never really had the $ or equipment to start a grow until now.

So heres what I got so far.

Fox farms soil
Solo red cups
4 afghan kush feminized seeds
Water (pH always between 6.5 and 7)
1 100 watt CFL (about 5 inches above plants)
In a box covered with aluminum foil
(No air circulation because the plants are newborns)

Ok so I have them in there for 24 hours with the light. They are 3 days old. But here are my questions

(1) When should I start using nutrients and which nutrients should i buy for the whole grow (didnt buy nutrients yet?
(2) At WHICH stage should I use EACH nutrient you suggested I get?
(3) What is "TOPPING" and why should I do it?
(4) When should I switch it to the veg. stage?
(5) Which lights and how far should the lights be away from the plants in veg. stage?
(6) How long should the plants be in veg. stage?
(7) How long should the plants flower for?
(8) How much afghan kush bud is usually available after it is dried and cured (u can calculate 1 plant for me pls)
(9) What kind of lights I should use for flowering? And how many watts?
(10) What should the temperatures, and humidity levels before for each stage of growth?

sorry guys for the questions but im really trying to get a idea of how to do this..i already started without knowing everything or having everything i need to move on so my bad i just need to know somebody heeeeeeeeeeeeelp mmmeeeee

(1) When should I start using nutrients and which nutrients should i buy for the whole grow (didnt buy nutrients yet? I use Fox Farm As well and i usually start feeding around the second week from first set of true leaves, i also use Fox Farm Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom for nutes

(2) At WHICH stage should I use EACH nutrient you suggested I get? I use Big Bloom for veg so from when its 14 days until its 30 days then i use Tiger Bloom, Also for Dosage in veg i use a capful per gallon of water and then add a cap after every few feedings,

(3) What is "TOPPING" and why should I do it? topping is when yuh remove all new growth from the main shoot to that node just under the new shoot,

(4) When should I switch it to the veg. stage? yuh are already in the veg stage once that sprout breaks soil, or on a light schedule greater than 12/12 for the most case,

(5) Which lights and how far should the lights be away from the plants in veg. stage? If yuh only have CFL then yuh can use it threw the whole grow i would recomend upgrading to at least some T5's High Output, or a HPS or MH, If using the CFL or the T5 or even a LED, the plants can be anywhere from 4 inches to 12 inches wouldnt really go past 6 inches though because the further away from the light the weaker the light is and that means slower growth,

(6) How long should the plants be in veg. stage? For the Veg Stage anywhere from a couple days to a couple months, it all depends on yuhr grow space restrictions,

(7) How long should the plants flower for? the average time in flower is anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks, this all depends on the trichomes,

(8) How much afghan kush bud is usually available after it is dried and cured (u can calculate 1 plant for me pls) : This is a hard one to answer, the rule of thumb is a gram per watt for experienced growers, and around half a gram per watt for beginners

(9) What kind of lights I should use for flowering? And how many watts? The ideal one is 600 watt HPS,

(10) What should the temperatures, and humidity levels before for each stage of growth? Temps can average from 70 to 85 without causing an impact but yuh want the temp to remain the same, Humidity anywhere from 40 to 80 percent for veg but flower yuh want hardly any humidity or yuh can get bud rot and all those nasty things,

No. You should be 18-6 (or higher light) for seedling and veg. 12-12 is once you flip to flower....
