Hi there everyone, new to the forum experience...first time ever lol. I'll cut to the chase if anyone can help me out with starting my first ever grow (1-3 plants) i'm completely clueless on what to do? I'm planning to do it indoors and i've got a few questions and it would be brilliant if some one could help me out?
1) are feminized seeds definitely female (some one told me MALE plants are useless)
2) which soil is the best (considering im from UK)
And that's all the questions I have cause as I said before i'm COMPLETELY clueless on what to do
firstly welcome to RIU
1) femminised seeds give your a 99% chance you grow girls. ALL my grows have acheived girls from femm seeds. to date apart from 1 seed which i i found out wasnt an auto seed. since your a beginner its ideal to start with researching because on this fourm there is a LOT of info on offer to help you prepare yourself before you jump into your first grow.
2) personally i have been using Plant Magic SOil 50lL bags. Which is given me impressive results on all my grows, even my twin auto Northern Light grows which i class as my best sucessful grow to date! was done with plant magic soil. but there is a huge range of soils you can choose from for any grow path you decide to venture down.
For more info on PM soil can be found on the link below.

an lastly good to see more uk growers on here, im uk based myself, your find there are alot fo different types of grows you can start with, but soil grows are ideal for beginners due to you are in charge of what you do. but overal before you even concider seting up any grow you choose, research is a must to help you.
Any first tiem grower will run into barreirs because its like riding a bike, or learning to fish, you make mistakes but you take them mistakes an learn from them as its all part of the experince you gain.

trying my hand on some stuff called Death Star dont know if ya heard of it but wanting to know and if you have any advice
have you tried googling death star seeds? as it may help yu find grow diarys doen by others who have or are currently growing death star seeds.
I would suggest google death star seeds. an have a browse of the search results it brings up. as i havent come across any grows of that seed strain myself. but google is a popular search engine. and im sure if its results you should come across a few diarys of past or current grows to allow you to use them as guideline diarys against your own grow.
overall the best advice i can offer any new grower is google and if in doubt ask, because over time experinced growers will be happy to give there advice an share their knowledge. dont be to rushy about getting answers as some growers dont login daily on here or 24/7. That last part is something not all newbies realise.
