i had my auto on 17/7 but iv switched it to 12/12 but iv just read something that said and auto should always be kept on 18/6 or 17/7 and never on 12/12 because they flower on age not light patterns, so im thinking of switching mine back to 17/7 but im not sure because i only switched it to 12/12 last week

if i ad anutha tent i wud give the auto longer light but is gone hav 2 take wa is given but if u have it on 12/12 you could just grow it for a bit longer an the longer dark periods help the thc production so ive heard
 
ok so i'm getting 2 clones from a friend and i'm going to grow them in my attic. i'm thinking of putting some sort of cover over the plants and lights to protect from birds (we get the occasional birds nest :P) i think i'm going to order a small heater that also doubles up as a fan, because i don't know if the CFL lights will provide enough heat in my cold attic. Atm i'm trying to think of a way to run the lights up there as i have no plugs in my attic, but i think i might be able to use an extension lead to plug them in from my room beneath the attic. My main problem is transporting the clones through a 45 minute journey, if i put them in a zip-lock bag with a small amount of water and put the bag in some ice, will that be enough?

put them in pots and put the pots in a mcdonalds drink holder to keep them stood up
or if youve no pots, you can put them straight into some water at the bottom of the cup (maybe a mcdonalds cup) with the lid, and carry em home - but you gotta get em planted and under 24 or 18/6 light as soon as you get home
