Hello, I am Slotter. I live in Georgia, I'm 19 years old. I have tried many different types of weed, most of them being wonderful. I am thinking about starting to grow my own suppy for me and friends. I havent fully decided what I'm gonna do yet, but hopefully I will start doing some growing.

Hey Slotter. Welcome to your new addiction, ha ha.

Go check out a l-o-n-g thread by Al B Fuct in the hydro section. I believe it's called something like "harvest every two weeks," or something like that. It's full of great ideas, and I know people who do this with dirt, as well. And no, it does not have to be as big as Al's.

Plus, you will laugh your ass off.

And check out the grow journal called something like buddha dwarfs first grow journal by SquishDoggyDog. If you can focus and have the privacy to do it at home, you'll find some great advice and ideas there, as well as warnings about electricity/ fires, etc. Pretty cool.

Have fun and be safe. For god's sake, be safe.

Hello everyone. First time grower, long time smoker.

Just here lookin for some tips and trick of the trade.

If anyone is interested in following my progress or failure, I have devoted a myspace page to to this endeavor.

myspace.com/grownmyown stop by and give me an add.

Look forward to gettin to know some of you and learning a few things!

Keep tokin!

What's going on everyone the name's grow (and yes I did 5 yrs. In the Navy just got out, yessss!)I've been doing alot of reading and thinking, and I've come to the conclusion that I'll be growing. I've been looking at the supercloset Deluxe setup to start out in my 10'X12'X9' garage something short and sweet until I get the hang of it. I've been following JonnyBLunt88's grow journal with it and I think it's awesome, not to mention I've got a friend who told me about it before I joined so I think I'll start there, I'll probably be asking alot of questions because I'm really serious about doing this right, peace.

Greetings all!
This will be my first grow. I started these four plants from some seeds I was given, so I don't know just what they are. They are currently are 70ish days old with a different heights. the tallest is 14", then 8", then 7", and the last is 4". Should they be taller at this age? They are in an indoor growroom of w36"xd36"xh50", on an 18 hour light cycle using four 24" 75 watt fluorescent plant lights. The lights are about six to eight inches from the tops. I water them daily to keep the soil moist which is an all purpose potting soil that says it feeds up to nine months. Also, running a fan to keep the heat down and I've heard it's good for the stems. Whats up with these plants? are they in the veg stage? Are they receiving enough light? Am i doing anything right here?
Love to get some experienced feedback!

With electric lights and potted soil

Seriously though, there are BOOKS written answering the question you just asked. Could you give us something more specific? If you're looking for general information, you could check out the GrowFAQ.

Hello everyone! Call me K.

I'll be starting my first grow in about a month! A friend is giving me some seeds to get me started (WitWid). I finally decided to grow to be able to have some real relief from these damned migraines! Been suffering since I was about 15. Meds don't have any affect as they wont stay down long enough to do anything.

I've watched a few grow vids and read a few books/guides. I'll appreciate any and all help.

I've decided to go the hydro route and have everything mostly setup but I'm not quite sure on the whole fertilizer topic. I'd love some PM's to set me on the right path.

Happy growing everyone!

If you don't mind me asking, what state are you in? Are you eligible for Medical MJ? At the moment I think there are 15 states that have card options, and I'd highly recommend you get involved if you're in one of them. Any condition that causes chronic pain/chronic nausea, can be helped with chronic and we need as many people as possible to get legal in this manner to lend credibility to the idea that Cannabis is NoT BAD!!!


Ok.. now that I've climbed off my soapbox, Nice to meetcha K. We are glad to have you here!!!

hey whats up everyone. my names d boy and i need just a little help.not much. just a little. im a first time grower. i have 6 plants in 2 pots in a small attic. its cold here now so im using a heater to keep it warm. 800w heater. i have a tin foil box but its not really a box, all four sides can move. i made it myself from wooden rod and tin foil and hot glue. there is little gaps on the corners. just enough to have the fan blow in there when it makes its round. i have 2 75w 24'' florescent lights. says plant and aquarium lights. got a local store. seems to work. my plants are almost a month old about 3 weeks. they are about 6-8 inches tall and have about 10-16 leaves. they are a little slow growing. the temp in there now is during the day 79-82 at night 68-75 pretty nice. humidity is 40-60 and we just started fertilizing with mericle grow. in a spray bottle this weekend we are putting fertilizer in water then watering them.there was a problem with overwatering at one time and the leaves curled down.but there dont do that any more. i have about 2 flies and every now and then i see gnats but that could be from the dirt in the ice cream pail and in the bag. should i be worried about gnats? and i saw a stink bug once never saw it again. what do u think let me know.

Slow-growth might be explained by low wattage.. any chance you have the $ to upgrade your lights? As a wise one on RIU suggested at great benefit to my own setup, check out Ebay. HTG Supply has great prices, great customer service, discreet shipping, etc etc.
1 thing I would suggest as your plants get bigger to increase your yield, copied from teh internets..

"training" plants with twist-ties is a great way to get them to bush out a bit. Just take any type of plastic or paper twist tie and wrap it around the top of the plant, then pull it over until the top is bent over 90-180 degrees and then attach this to the main stem lower on the plant. Do this for one week and then release the plant from it's bond. The plant can be trained in this fashion to take less vertical space and to grow bushier, to fill the grow space and force lower limbs to grow upward and join the green canopy. This technique takes advantage of the fact that if the top is pulled over, it creates a hormonal condition in the plant that makes it bush out at all lower internodes.

That is all. Welcome to RIU!

Ooh.. and I just noticed you said miracle grow. Dis is not so good.. From what I hear from growers, miracle grow dehydrates MJ so you might want to switch to Earth Juice or something more tailored to the herb.

Just a thought..

Thanks for the warm welcome! Be sure to pass your way first.

Unfortunately, Flo.
Our state is openly against all use of marijuana. Our state laws are also WORSE then federal laws.

I would be eligable in other states, but moving is out of the question for now, though I am trying.

I'm well aware cannabis isn't a bad thing. Virtually all medication has some sort of side effects and honestly I think its retarded/idiotic that there are drugs with a possible side effect of death/bleeding/cancer/blindness/etc and yet cannabis, which has been proven as a safe and effective treatment for various ailments, is outlawed. Sure chronic use of weed can cause lung cancer but how is that different from tabacco? Same thing applies for liqour. They both impair your ability to drive/work yet the one that can cause more bodily harm and is much more addictive is the one that isnt illegal?

Oh land of hypocrisy, how i love thee!

Hey guys, new guy here. Will be starting on a new micro grow project in my apt. Possibly a small cabinet outside on my deck. I've read over a lot of the posts, and decided its the best and easiest way for me to go without my neighbors or landlord giving me a hard time. I'll be studying for the next few days through the threads and have already found a few designs that I might want to follow.
Wish me luck!!

I'll be buying some seeds from probably recommended seed boutique or nirvana. But then again, anyone know where I can buy some cheap seeds probably just running to test my box once its done? Don't want to waste the dutch blueberries I'm planning for on a dead run on a newbie box. :/

Thanks guys!

Hey all I'm new to the forum so thought i would give you peeps a holla. I've recently started growing my own plants and i currently have 4 babys around 6inchs tall. Guessing i'm gonna make loads of mistakes along the way but it seems this place has alot of help/advice on offer. Anyway i'll post some pictures soon, until then take care all.

As promised here are some pics. Any comments/feedback would be apreciated. [/IMG]

As promised here are some pics of my growroom and plants, would be grateful for any feedback.

Hello everyone. I figured this was the palce to make an intro post. I found this site looking for info on growing. I never have done so, but Id like to learn how to grow a decent plant to smoke sometime, perhaps. Still not sure about if I will or not, but its nice to talk to others that may provide their experiences as a guide to that ends. Im a big Rush fan, I know they area love/hate them sort of group, but they got me into synthesizers, which in turn got me into techno/house/acid/trance back in the early 90's. I also enjoy motorsports, mainly Rallying across the globe, and Formula One, in addition to hillclimb, endurance racing and a bunch of other stuff Im blabbling about.

Thanks for having me!
