Welcome New Members!

new to site my name is jeremy and i cant figure out how to add to my journal is there any links for help?

first time growing my own bud indoors from bagseed under cfl's. found this site and had to join.

Most plants unless you have an autoflowering strain in the vegetative cycle generally do best with 18 hours of sunlight or a good HID high intensity discharge light or led ufos if you've got cash to spend. At 3 months you should be near or at a flowering cycle in which 12 hours of light and 12 hours of pitch black (no light whatsoever) I'd recommend a 400 watt sun system crop master digital ballast and hood with a hortilux enhanced blue spectrum metal halide light there is enough red/orange spectrum to use this for both cycles. Visit atlantishydroponics.com they are in the us and a reputable source for products and advice there are good organics nutrients which are essential when flowering like bud candy which adds amino acids, sugars, and some b vitamins. I'd recommend a 45-55% relative humidity get yourself a decent hydrometer and I'd recommend keeping a plant about 80 degrees Farenheit during the day and 10 degrees cooler at night. CO2 is essential also in growing some killer buds. The air in general has around 350 ppm (parts per million) just being around your plants adds a few more hundred as we exhale Co2. I use 1000 ppm (Co2 tank with regulating valve and relay switch) 15 minutes per hour and have it cycled to shut off my exhaust and circulating fans while I do so this will multiply your plants potential exponentially

Cfl's will do in veg cycle though they are not very efficient. If I were to Go the cfl route whether planted in soil or other medium for one plant I would use 2 hanging clamp lights with a 10 inch reflective diffuser (about 13 a piece at home depot) they are rated for 150 watts. Next 2 socket adapters to convert one outlet into 2 via a y you will need 2 extensions also they are about 2 inches long (4 total fittings about 10) next be sure to use the daylight marked cfl lights as they have the necessary blue spectrum for vegetative cycle use the 42 watt cfl 65ook it is equivalent to a 150wt incandescant. Feel around tops of plants if you're indoor it's best to keep temp under 75 deg. get a cheap thermometer and place it next to your plant Try to keep lights about 3-4 inches from top of plant being mindful of heat once again ok. Good luck

Hello! I've been lurking for almost half a year, haven't been smoking a year yet but I'm already working on planning out a closet grow. So I thought I'd drop by and say hello to all you fine folks!

What up? I just got my medical, going for my first grow like almost everyone else lmao xD. I got the plant about half dead from my friend who got the clone from his medical. The plant now only has 1 leaf turning brown, and the ONLY reason I left it there is because I am trying to bring it back from the dead x.x, It has loads of new growth on it now and seems to be doing good. Unfortunately my friend who seems to not even be able to grow a tomato, put in some crappy ass 3 dollar soil that has those damned annoying little bugs <.< luckily I just have the one plant. So pest problems in my grow closet? Yeah for now. But I will completely rid them of bugs once I get better soil.

~~Currently bringing a plant back from the dead~~

I just planted a master kush plant yesterday my very first one ever its in my closet with tinfoil nd a fan nd 400 watt florescent light. I have no idea howmuch water nd fertilizer im suppose to give it. Any advice you guys can give would be much appreciated.

my little lady at a week old, what does everyone think ?

Hey everyone. First time grower here stopping by to introduce myself. I have been browsing the forums for a few days so I decided I would join.


I only have one patient so I am starting with 12 plants. I have been looking at different strains but each time I find one, someone has something negative to say about it so I'm still indecisive at the moment. Basically I'm looking for a good strong buzz with an above average yield. Obviously everyone wants the best buzz and highest yields but I will take something in the middle. Suggestions for a first time grower would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself and say what a fine site this is. I have been interested in starting an indoor grow project and my online research led me here. For the past three days I have been reading and learning a wealth of great information from this site. I do however have a few simple questions that I would appreciate some feedback on.

The seed bank I have been looking at is Sannie's and I am very nervous about ordering. Have people living in the U.S. had good experiences with this company? I guess my main worry is giving out banking information.

Secondly the strain I am going to order (if I ever get the courage lol) is Herijuana IBL. I have heard great things about this strain but wondered if it was relatively easy/hard for the novice gardner to cultivate?

And finally my last question pertains to the grow box I want to construct. I have an old bookshelf that I want to convert into a grow box and the dimensions are 6(H) x 3(L) x 1(W). So my question is that will 12 inches be deep enough to grow in or should I scrap the idea of using the bookcase?

Thanks,

Looks good I believe IIRC you can go ahead and cut the round leaves (seedling leaves) at the very bottom off. Once you get the 4 main leaves, the seedling leaves just rob light from the plant :/ Look up a download of the cannabis grow bible, or just buy it off of amazon for like 14$ or something. It is a VERY good grow book IMO.

Here is a thread with the download

hey hows things...just a quick question i have just set up my profile and was wondering how to add a picture i know i've been trying fo rawhile and i know its something simple

Hello, i am a new member..and seriously need some help. I really should wait for my pics to post on tonite, but thought i'd try here as well, I posted VEG and FIM question in Newbie, and General growing forums. Sorry for being redundant!

1. 18 days into VEG from clones with two strains. Quarazy trains (that were tops, with multiple tops now) and powerkush, that are christmas tree like now.

2. They are 22 to 24 inches tall, except the quarazy trains, little shorter and squattier.

3. I want to FIM the tops, as I hear it is to late to TOP them (cut of at 2nd true node while still clone size).

4. If I do FIM now, I obviously need to wait another week if VEG time so the additional sights develop right?

5. I am assuming I have to FIM, because they could double in size and I have a 7' tall tent? two hanging 600 watt HID eurohoods.

6. Also, 18 weeks into VEG and I have not really cleared out or pruned the bottom third of plant. Is it too late?

Thanks!!!!!

Hello,

I'm sure there is another way to get there but I changed my avatar by the settings menu. First I clicked on the little pencil by my friends list and it took me to the settings menu. On your left you will see a list of options, click on "Edit Avatar".

I have been lurking this site for help for a while. I decided to try proxy servers to avoid exciting my paranoid mind before joining here. Tor seems to be the way to go, so I tried that. Anyway, I'm excited to try and connect to a community and post my experience with any advice. I'm starting with 9 Alien OG clones. The smallest measure to 16 cm (6.5 inch) and the tallest at 20 cm (7.8 inch) 400w MH for 18/6 and 600w HPS for 12/12. Coco medium, more fine grade, pithy if you will. They seem healthy now, and I'm trying to let the soil dry out a little after repotting them 4 days ago to let the roots stretch more. Is this a good plan of action? I am using CNS 17 grow (coco formula, 3-1-2), 10mL per gal and (will) perform a weekly flush on Sundays. I'm also hand watering... So I have to be on my game. The coco doesn't seem to need to be watered for 4 days, is this normal? Any further advice?

Hello Folks! Im so new to Marijuana and so intrigued by it that I have started my own outdoor garden in preparation for my thesis experiment on the plant next growing season. Right now I'm just concerned about properly getting through the lifecycle of the strains I picked here from a local Sacramento dispensary shop. I also have a strain from the Philippines that grew on coastal mangroves. I don't know "how" it got here, but I have it and I thought it was quite a unique grow for some crossing if i succefully keep it alive. Note I did not postany pics of it yet on here. I wanna keep it as a Fall suprise.

Anyways any advice or suggestions please! Anyone here from Around or nearby Sacramento ? I want members from here to be the first ones to try "T.I.M" when its a success!

i just got my sensi grow & bloom a b now how much should i use on a 5 gallon dwc i have a purple haze that the root is just growing mad on ro water and no nutes and a white rhino that is growing slowly but i also heard that if add too much i,ll burn them i relly dont want to do that so if any one could help it would be greatly appreciated peace love and some on

Hi everyone! first time growing, the plants just sprouted. but i use no indoor lights, use the sun instead, since i live on the adriatic coast, we've got plenty of that. is there anyone here from the same region, growing using sunlight? i think now would be the proper time for that... i would appreciate all and any advice. thnx! cheers!

Well I just got back from getting my first clones and I'm pretty F^#$%$@^#ing excited. I have Lemon Skunk, Master Kush and Blue Cheese all sitting under my 1000w Baddass Blue Diamond metal halide! Only a few more weeks and I'll have two 1000w Baddass Red Diamond HPS's beating down on these ladies. As soon as I put the clones in their warrior pots I'll post some pics.
