Welcome New Members!

thanks! i have 4 seeds of a lemon strain which look like theyre almost ready to put in soil and am going to put some more to germinate tomorow. been reading through the threads for a little while and got quite a bit of info though so hopefully should grow some decent smoke. dont know if theres any londoners on here, but a lot of the weed here is sprayed by stupid dealers to make more profit. doesnt burn properly/tastes like shit/ fucks your throat up.

ill stop rambling now

Hello fellow growers. I have one soil grow under my belt. I'm new to posting, but I've read almost every page of The Hempy Collective by Azgrow which is what I will be starting in 2 weeks. My first grow was great with no hiccups at all because I did as much research as I could before starting. The mother plant was given to me by a friend which he called Panama Jack. I think it was NL x Honey Jack, but who knows. Anyways, I'm moving to another state and leaving my current grow for my brother but I'm taking one Panama Jack clone and one NL clone to get me started with the hempy buckets. I won't go into huge detail until I start the grow thread, but I will have 6 (3 NL, 3 PJ) clones in 1 gallon milk jugs sprayed black using only perlite, 1 400W MH/HPS ballast/bulb combo and GH 3-part Flora Series nutes.

hello, Im going to try to answer the question of " smoking around plants". from day one, i have been smoking constently on and around the plant. As a seedling, i blew smoke in the bag holding the seed and paper towel. it is now pokeing out of the dirt today. So, so far no negative response... Will keep you informed......

Hi everyone, 1st ever post, 1st ever grow, hope all this info on here helps ; /

It's Aphids I got. How do I get rid of them? Some help would be appreciated.

whats good this kc kid im new to growing but a long time smoker so im tryin it out . im about a month in and my girls are doing ok. im tryin to learn more about nutes and fert. one of my plants the bottom leaves are a little yellow around the edges . does it need food and what should i use.

Heyy everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself as a new grower and I am looking forward to everyone's advice. I'm ready to grow some good [Mary] &appreciate all the advice given. I am a smoker and I'm just looking to cut back on the constant calling of the dealer and putting more money in his pocket! lol My boyfriend and I just want a personal stash!

=D

Aphids is an easy one, get a squirty bottle (somthing like a febreeze bottle etc) make sure it is really clean (once empty obvoiuosly). Then put in some plain water (distilled is safest) with a very small amount of washing up soap/liquid. Shake it then spray the little of the mixture onto aphids. They hate it and won't come back.

Hey, thanks for the newbie thread! I am approx 2 weeks away from harvest, and SO excited.
6 OG clones,

Happy growing to everyone. This site is amazing

Here are some of my girls about a month from harvest. What you guys think?

hey all happy new year and greeting from sunny old england!! how the hell do i start my own discussion? ive done it once but cant remember, i need some help with my babys flowering, something has gone wrong, my buds arent developoing, ive got loads of hairs but not much bud, they have been flowering for 3 wks?

how do i Germinate right? I put the seeds in a damp paper towel. is that right?

Hey everyone, im new to this forum. So far there is tons of good info, which im planning on taking advantage of.

The only thing I have ever grown were some hot peppers......lol

But im planning on starting my first soon.... after I read and plan everything out ( because im paranoid).

welcome!
and thats not paranioa , failure to plan , is planning to fail and many other sayings!
enjoy and stay safe

For germinating u can put them between a most paper towel on a plate with plastic wrap over it. Keep it in a dark place and check daily for moisture. When they sprout, put them about a 1/4 in. in the medium of our choice with the tip pointed up.

33,000 lumens any good? should i get a decent crop with that? (250w HPS)

Here are some pics that I took of my girls this morning. Mahalos to everyone for the help. I hope you like them.

Ok so I'm new here... and I just started trying to grow a couple plants in my closet. I'm using a 40 watt shoplite that takes fluorescent bulbs. Will this work? Also, how long does it take them to sprout? I started them 2 days ago and I dont see anything yet.

just be patient....takes a week or less; or you could dig a bit in the soil to check if they have even let their root out

Hey just letting you guys know im around, i will probably ask questions once i finish reading everything
