I'm a first time grower... how do i even start?

[mysunnyboy]

and back to helping MC grow. do you have to be stealthy, MC? do you have a limit on the size of plant you wanna grow? are you gonna have to hide it? thats another good way to help determine what you wanna grow and what method (topping, LST, etc) you wanna use. what size lights do you have or are considering? you're south like me, i needed my lighting to be as cool as possible and not use much electric so i went with cfls for now. there's a lot more to it then growing a weed, which it's not. main thing, IMHO is have fun and try not to stress it too much

i am growing bagseed atm,first time
i have no choice i cant get good seeds lol.
90% weed in bangladesh sucks its fucking cheap but quality is like the worst shit u will ever smoke..never even heard the strains.
Thats why i got some weed which came in from India i think and it was orangish colour. the weed was good too, so i got some seeds from there and planted it.Hope it turns out to be a good shit...
Peace!

Sorry for going off topic MC.

Sorry for posting it here but quick question do u think it is possible to find the strain when the plant grows up?

 

[HonestJim]

If I grow out some bag seed properly and you grow out any strain you wanna pick the way that the mexican commercial farmers do I guarantee my bag seed will be better.

Thats because there is no argument. You jumped into the middle of a conversation to promote bagseed. I am simply saying why bother with it when you can grow something truly great, not just good. Anyway, I got no issues with you bro, I am just trying to help someone out and let them know how they can grow great weed.

I am not promoting anything. I have grown 30 strains. All I am saying ahhhh never mind. Go get em new guy.

First thing you do is set up your grow space. Without a good space the rest is moot.

@mysunnyboy~I have all the time in the world to grow it :} so i really dont mind if it takes long to grow, im planning on letting it on the balcony where i live to go to the university until it looks like a pot plant and then move it to my room. i have big windows so i dont plan to use artifical light much... the plant should be small so i can transport it better between the balcony and my room :] itd be a plus if i had to hide it too Something i haven't mentioned that i plan on one plant, not 10 so ive decided to use bagseed unless there's a site i can order seeds one by one. i dont want mine to sell it, just to have it for myself and my friends to enjoy *nod nod*

Sorry for going off topic MC.

dun worry :3 reading this argument helps me get all the points of views and the pros+cons so its cool ^^

 

[MarijuanaCutie]

I just want to grow one plant, not 5 or 10... so the growing space will be my apartment's balcony and my room, like if i was growing any regular plant <3 ill give it special attentions just like if it was my pet <3 i think if its bagseed or a goodstrain itll turn out cool since itll only be one plant and ill be able to dedicate myself to it, not to many many plants :S :}

 

[mysunnyboy]

i gotcha, ok, i am in south florida so i know why you want to use the natural light. i started mine inside and then let them finish outside. i don't know how much growth you're gonna get without much supplemental lighting inside tho. when it's too big to leave outside it's gonna need quite a bit of light.
another thing you may want to consider is starting more then one in case you get males. you wouldn't want to put such effort into growing and then find out it's male when flowering time comes, unless you don't mind starting over.
hows your weather

 

[MarijuanaCutie]

I don't mind starting over :} how do i know if its male or female? well its been raining alot recently, but its mostly hot here :S like if it was summer all the time x_x but I like it :} its rainy now but when i start growing it ill be sure its a bit sunnier

 

[mysunnyboy]

cool cool
oh you will know when it's a male LOL all of the sudden you will see what look like little bananas growing from it
here's a pic of my only male so far, there are lot's of pics out there but trust me, when you see it you will know

 

[mysunnyboy]

we have sunny and 80 here today, my outdoor plants love it

I like the mood you project. I wish you the best. You made me smile.

Cannabis is a photo period plant you have to induce flowering by limiting the light cycle to 12 hours on 12 hours off.It can take two weeks from the time you induce flowering to be able to tell the difference. A female will have white hairs coming out of the bud sitesView attachment 1908044.

A male will have this

View attachment 1908043the male will get pods which open up into little flowers with peddles and spread pollen all over the place. You want to catch the males before the pollen pods open if you dont you will have to clean up your grow area so the next plant doesn't get pollinated.You can go this rout with a photo period plant or if you want to buy auto flower seeds then you will not need the light cycle change. Just growing in the window getting natural sun like you planned will work. Autos are new. from what I hear not all of the seeds will auto so I would stick with a reliable seed bank if you buy autoflowers. The key to growing an auto flower is put them in a large pot and don't ever transplant. its a set it and forget it plant.

 

[mysunnyboy]

thanks for that bit of info on autos smokesalot, i want to put my vegging plants out in the spring and i was just thinking about the same thing. i am growing photo now and was sitting outside wondering how would i induce the 12/12? i'm gonna try some autos for sure. never really given it much thought before now
i love learning new things about marijuana

 

[ismokealotofpot]

its important to let the sprout grow a bit then drop in down into the soil or fill the pot in to cover the sprout stem.I should add germinating the seed in a small pot or a pot that is not full of soil will give the sprout room to grow tall. the goal with an auto is to not disturb the plant and let it get root bound some what. its almost the opposite of a photo plant. I have seen people grow autos in big pots and the plant grows tall and thin with very little solid bud mostly leaf.
