new to the community! whats up peoples, im reppin north central florida. gotta problem!!!! what kind of cfl bulbs (spectrum,size,how many) would be best to keep say a 3-4ft momma good and healthy??? the space is is say 16 sq. feet. HELP PLEASE!!! 
Your best bet was to germinate but if you must, 2 to 3 days if you keep the soil kinda damp where you planted the seed, keep an eye on it/them.How long will it take my seeds to sprout? i didn't germinate them.i just put them straight into the soil.
Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your problem. SAY WHAT??
Much sorrier to hear about your problem BG, your posts do show you have a lot to offer to us. Maybe we can make some lemonade out of it though. Let me explain. A little over a year ago, some of us made a commitment to watching the 'Newbie thread'. We had a place for new folks to introduce themselves, problem was none of the experienced growers ever went to the newbie thread, we asked people to introduce themselves and then pretty much ignored them. We had some goals in mind, 100,000 views and 400 pages. We reached the 400 pages yesterday and I think we may have helped a few people along the way, I find I do not have the time to keep up with the thread any longer, we recently past the Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiative in my state, Michigan, and we are really just getting patients started growing their own medicine, it is for sure the least expensive way for them to get it. And DirtBag showed my how important growing your own can be, it is so theraputic, if I didn't tell you, you would never know, old DB does this in a wheelchair.
As many as you can afford. Garden Knowm wrote a book about growing with cfl's and we have a seperate sub forum for cfl growers, you would want to check in those threads. Welcome to riu. VV
Hey killer. Jorge explains the reasons for starting in small containors and moving to a larger size, this encourages good early root development. If you start reading at the beginning of almost any journal on here you will see this process taking place, and since you have done it without making the interime transplants you will be able to draw your own conclusions how well it works. My blues journal shows two tranplants, its in my signature at the bottom of this post. VV
Welcome Mike, no your plants are not fucked.... yet, you will just get a smaller harvest than you would have gotten if you had started earlier unless you are growing them indoors. Plant when the farmers plant for maximum harvest. VV
Sorry, can't do that. Momma always taught us to lift it out of the way, and then put it back down. Since the girls outnumbered the boys........ be a sweetie lift the seaty, or risk a limb. lol Welcome. VV
ok, cool I appreciate it alot, this site is the best.Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your problem. SAY WHAT??
If it takes you 8 weeks to get a MJ plant to 14" you have a problem, maybe several problems. If you have to start flowering at 14" you must not have much height to work with in your op.
So like I said, welcome to the forum, sorry about the problems you have. VV

If you followed all of this so far stay with me, you have the experience with growing that I do not have, I have the experience in this forum that you do not have. If you run into a question that you can't answer, and those will be few, I probably know who, in our forum, is likely to have an answer. Take over this thread, be warned, if you do, you will become famous in this forum, you will have fun doing it. Please kiss-ass
