Hi everyone. Just started growing, glad there's a resource like this, cause I'd be lost. I've read some books but its good to know there's a community of people that will share their knowledge about this wonderful plant. Thanks.

enjoy your stay here, its a great community. answers all your questions

Hi,
I'm new here so I just thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a long time smoker but a growing newb, and I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks soaking up all the info needed to start my first grows.

I've got 11 little plants on the go so far which are all from bag seed so I'm just going to plant them out in my garden to see if they come to anything.

For my first indoor grow I've decided to do it properly and ordered a bud box xl a 400w hps light and a ruck 125mm fan and carbon filter.
I'm planning to grow 4 plants at a time in my loft which is plenty to keep me going, and I'm going to partition off a clone/mother area in the bottom of the tent with flouros.

The only thing I need to work out now is how to keep it cool in the tent, is anyone using a 400w lamp in an xl, and if so how is it temp wise?

Also, if I grow in soil which is the best food to use (I'm growing BrainStorm)?

Oh well I'll stop boring you now, I'm just lightly toasted and thought I'd say hi.

I origionally posted this in the wrong place, sorry (I'm only a newb)

Growing Marijuana is illegal in my state. I am concerned for the security of my identity when posting to this site. I see no notice, or discussion of security here. Am I missing something?

How can we discuss this topic with complete confidence in our anonymity.

Thanks.

hey everyone ive got a question, when you take clones and put them in a humidity dome what temp should they be round about, coz i recently took 8 clones 1 day ago and they have all wilted and droopy is that supposed to happen. I mist the dome and the leaves once a day, i am using a 2" 2x tube T5, im not quite sure, any suggestions? cheers.

Hi Frank, welcome to the forum. The 400 watt furnace will need to be air cooled seperate from the rest of your air handling. Most of the 'Ready made' systems I have seen include things necessary or at least mention them and give you a price for like a 6" of 4" collar etc. that you would use to attach ducting to. For the reas of it, read some journal posted with soil grows. Happy growing.

Hey Grey Beard, welcome. Well thats a good question. Check with GrnMn, I am pretty sure he can tell you how to set up with server that would shield you. Realistically LEO doesn't have the resources to try and monitor 30,000 web sites. I remember when I had just a little grey in my beard, its all gone now and I didn't even use just for men hair color. Uhh...its all white now. Check out our old hippies thread as well. VV

And welcome too you also tj. You will want to check Al B Fucts post A Batch Of Clones In Rockwool. Humidity domes are not good with clones and there is some discussion about all you need to do. That 2' 2 tube t-5 light will do an excellent job for that many clones, I hope you got one read and one blue bulb? Clones need air circulation more than the higher humidity levels.

Welcome all of you. You will find a nice group of folks here. There are a few that almost insist on having a journal of your own and they won't help you much if you don't include pictures, something about one picture being worth a thousand words or something like that. Everytime you post in your journal it will come up as NewPosts or Todays Posts, so if you put your questions there, all of the relevent information, like room size, system used, lights etc. will all be right there. You will be suprised a how quickly you can build a whole tutoring section, folks that will check your progress. VV

Hey ryder, welcome to RIU. If you are serious about growing the first thing to do go to "GrowFAQ' at the top of the psge and start reading. If you have any questions start a thread and ask them. People here are glad to share their experience with others. After all, this is one of the few places we can show it off!

Hey Grey Beard, welcome. Well thats a good question. Check with GrnMn, I am pretty sure he can tell you how to set up with server that would shield you.

Thanks for the Welcome Vic. I am AN old hippie 63 yrs. old and I've been smokin' the herb since 1965...43 yrs. man, I can hardly believe that myself I'm still healthy, and living proof that you can smoke a joint a day for forty years and still be in great shape for an old geezer.

My last indoor grow was back in 1976. Back then it was only flourescents, and it didn't turn out too well. There is a whole lot better technology now, and best of all these forums. You wouldn't believe all the bad info back then, even in the books.

I've got a spare bedroom, the time, the interest, and a taste for some good herb. I stopped in Toronto (very cool town) last year on vacation and picked up some seed. I'll be starting some plants soon, and I'm sure this forum will help speed up the learning curve. I'll keep you guys posted on the grow, and I'll probably be begging for advice very soon.

BTW, that pic in your sig is outstanding, that's what I'm talkin' about

Thanks again, GB

I'm going to try again, this time with good gear

Grandpa............................?

Just signed up. Used to smoke back in the 70's and starting up again, got a few plants growing outside in some pots. First attempt at growing, so I'll be using this forum as a helpful guide.

Hello everyone... I have been looking around but there is so much info. I would just like to know if there is a way to prune a 1 month old mother to produce more clonable sites.

Nope, not a Grandpa yet. But my son just got married, and he's working on it.
In fact, that's one of the reasons I'm growing. His new wife is not too excited about having a home garden, so he's turning the gear over to the old man.

He tried an indoor grow a couple of years ago, and it turned out beautifuly. The only problem was when he cured it. They just stuffed the beautiful bud in plastic trash bags to cure it.... big mistake. Rot ruined all the weed.
Sons sometimes don't ask the old man for advice when they need it. Curing the plant was the only thing that I really did well during my first grows, back in the day. I had a giant backyard Colombian Sativa that I cured so well the herb lasted for nearly a year of casual smoking (14 oz. of bud). So, maybe with his luck growing, and my curing, we can be successful this time around.

I don't know were you are at but i've grown in a couple Asian countries and just about grown on its own without any help . I always made sure that I put them were they got the morning sun light and afternoon filtered light. Also it protects them from afternoon heat. 15 degree southwest from most southern point.
Triple 8, virgin soil,mix with earth soil let sit in hole,pots,wheel barrow, whatever for 5 days then plant starters. Just remember that the main thing about this plant that it's a WEED and will grow anywhere with very little help. Don't get to complicated. Patience is the key.

Hey guys New to the site. Check out my profile and feel free to comment on my pics. happy growing

Hey my names john.

I had attempted once beforeto grow a plant.. first time i gave it plant food too soon and died so im goin to not use plant food... another time one jsut kinda... sprouted in the back yard.. swear to bob.. just walked outside and hey look a plant... were we usually smoke..that got ran over by a lawnmower....

umm i had 8 chances before to grow but my dumbass step bro kept finding and smoking my seeds... i had 2 recently.. one died, i tore the stem while it was like 3 in.

this one now is about 3 1/2'' was about 4 1/2'' but i added more soil

i burnt its 2nd set of leaves and cut those off and now it has its 3rd set of leaves growing... i plan to move it outside once summer is fully here and my palnt gets to about 6'' - 12''

i been using tap water and soil from my front yard and soil from whatever weed plant i can find (not cannabis) hopefully this works out for me this time

good luck with that i am trying to grow a miny stealth operation in a 17 inch subwoofer box for computer speakers
