Smoke a doobie with me!

Just signed up, thinking of starting a crop after the failed attempt year before last.
Got some money coming to set up a small grow area, so I'm give the whole self supporting habit thing a try again.

hey i need help i think my plant has a sulphur problem but i don't know how to fix it. can anyone help?

I posted my "Introduction Thread" in the Indoor section because I figure that is where I will be spending most of my time.

Hey,
I have have grown a few plants in a simple system over the years and have decided to get a little more complex. BEcuase well i havent mastered the techniques quite yet.

I understand how to germinate but after seedling could you help me out a bit, by explaining steps for me?

hey everyone. my story- just chillin at home and realized that i had 10 mj seeds that i saved
ive been readin alot of the threads and there more about serious growing

im tryin to just grow a little plant(INDOOR) that i can keep hidden from people that live with me
couple questions
1. how tall would a plant get of just one seed???
2. Is it still possible to grow some dank even if you don't have all the fancy equipment?

It's my understanding that you can legally buy and posses seeds in the US, however, you cannot legally sell them (not 100% sure on this). This means you'll have to buy the seeds from a foreign company. There are plenty of seed banks online that are willing to ship seeds to the US. Just type in "marijuana seeds" in google.

If you live in the North, it may be well worth your time to take a nice weekend vacation to Canada.

Alternatively, it's not hard to find someone with seeds if you know a handful of people who smoke (especially older smokers). If that's not an option, getting seeds can be a little more difficult. In addition, I have found seeds every once in a while in even some of the dankest stuff I've got from the dispensary.

If you live in California (or any other state that has legalized medical marijuana) find someone with a club card and get clones of your favorite strain. If you are a first time grower, you chances of success will increase dramatically if you use clones, and you won't have to worry about those pesky male plants.

Bobby,

The best part about marijuana is that it's a weed, and weeds will thrive in many different conditions. The question is how potent do you want it? If you want to grow some diggity dank stuff, you are going to have to spend a little cash. However, don't feel as though you have to run out and buy they fanciest lights on the market or the most expensive equipment. There are plenty of people who grow really good stuff by just getting creative. If you don't mind growing some mid grade or lower quality stuff (or you just want to grow it simply to see if you can grow it), you won't need as much equipment, you won't need to spend as much money, and you won't have to spend as much time tending it.

I'm going to answer your questions (a) assuming you are going to start out by growing a small amount (1-5 plants), and (b) that you want to grow some quality stuff.

If you have a height constraint, there are plenty of ways to get around it. First, you should get a high output fluorescent light. (I use a 2 foot 4 bulb light. two of the bulbs put out a blue spectrum and the other two put out a red spectrum). The HO fluorescents are great because your plants can grow right up to the lights without getting burned. Also, you won't be using as much energy. Fluorescents have com a long way in the indoor world, and they are the least expensive. Next, there are a few ways to control the height of your plants. Your first option is to top them so the grow more outwardly (like a bush) than upwardly. Next you can bend them (know as training) so they grow closer to the planter. Look up Low Stress Training (LST). I prefer the low stress training because there is less shock and recovery that the plant has to undergo and that means shorter time until harvest. Anyway, there are plenty of threads on this website dedicated to both methods, and there is an unlimited amount of info on the web as well.

Is it possible to grow dank indoors....? Absolutely, but you are going to need to do a lot of research to grow it well. If you can get your hands on a few clones, that’s the good way to start. Also, many seasoned vets prefer to grow in soil rather than hydro, which is much less expensive.

Thing you will need to have a basic understanding of before you start:

The importance of lighting and light cycles,
Plant feeding,
The law,
growing mediums,
PH of your water and how to easily adjust it


It may seem daunting, but it really isn't that hard. A good place to get ideas is to read the posts in Newbie Central. Good Luck

This is where first timers post? Thank you. I look forward to learning from all the good people here. I'm a mmj patient with Parkinson's in the process of moving to California where they might treat me a little more like a human being. Here's the genes I've got and have been having fun with for a few years.

female seeds - Neville's Haze Hybrid, Grapefruit X Neville's Haze Hybrid
Mandala - Hashberry, Sadhu, Speed Queen
Dr. Chronic - mp5k
Greenhouse and Nirvana - Northern Light
Sensi and Nirvana - White Rhino, Big Bud
(Wanted to see for myself the difference between the 'real deals' and Nirvana. Nirvana has held its own except with Big Dud Bud.)

Now I can't wait to grow out some local Cal strains one day. But my Sadhu and me are fine for now.

grow4releif,

Awesome that you are moving to California. Take it from me, you will definitely be treated more like a human being especially, if you are moving to the Bay Area or anywhere in the Emerald Triangle (Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity counties). Anyway, welcome.

Thanks Dr. Green Brain. The Bay Area is preferred by me, but it looks like family in Sacramento or Stockton (and property values) will drive me in that direction. A fixed budget narrows options. Hopefully close enough to visit frequently though. I'm actually still open to anywhere and I'll continue looking for a deal exactly where you suggest. I ruled out SoCal already. Clear Lake area has some appeal for me too.
