the best way would to be follow the light of the equator where ever you go just to make sure it gets the right light when you are at the equator as it gets bigger and starts to flower move closer to the pole that you want to flower at (south pole in the northern winter and north pole when it gets cold down south. That way you will enjoy the best weather wherever you go becasue it is mostly tropical regions you meet a lot of nice women also ..plus they have coin to pay for your equator bud strain

An equitorial sativa is a lot taller than an indica. These plants also need more darkness than plants grown where I live. 11/13 if I recall. Thats 13 hours of darkness and 11 hours of light.

Thats the best advice for beginners- Keep it simple....

If it is a strain you got from around your area, then it should grow fine how it is now. The leaves look a nice and green, and the nodes aren't stretched, so I think it should be fine.

As long as the temperature's stay close during day and night it should be fine too....

hi im pretty new to posting around here i mostly read up on different styles of grows and try to get advice on my mini grow. this is my main go to site for information.

Hid light, temp and humidity control are very important.

I use rain water too. Let me tell you rain water has an excellent PH 6.5. I advice you to collect rain water and place it in the refrigerator in a clean juice bottle or something like that. Stagnant rain water gets algae within few days and start to stink. If it stinks I do not reccomend you to use for your plants. Its not going to kill them but you'b be feeding bacteria and algae and you can face any complication in the future cause of that. Cooling your rain water remains FRESH and GOOD, just keep in mind before feeding your plant with it. Get the cool water out of the refrigerator few hours earlier up to room temps, ok. Good luck.

Hi all -

New MMJ card holder looking to set up first grow. Most likely looking at a scrog setup with at least 1000w hps to start. Regular soil at first nothing special. Nice to meet you all!

Hi Brooklyn ~ I am in the midst of doing my first grow and have been using tap water (6.6 ph) thus far. I really would like to capture some rain water before the colder stuff gets here in Maine, but I was wondering with all of the air pollution that travels our way from our west, if it was just as good as treatable water. Do you have any suggestions to find out the content of the rain water outside of the ph factor?

Thanks in advance :-)

sup. first plant. doin it indoors. HELP!!!!

theflesh · Nov 29, 2011

Hi- it's my first time growing. I've got one Green Crack and one Purple Kush under a T-5 light in soil in my closet. They're about a foot tall and I'm going to go buy different lighting to move them into flowering. They still could use some time before flowering I think. Anyway, I just learned about topping. Should I top them now and let them veg for another couple weeks before I move them into flowering? I guess my question is, it can't hurt to veg them longer right?

You can keep your plants in the veg state for as long as you like. Reason being; this is where one keeps their mother plants. Just make sure you keep the lights on their regular schedule.

As for topping, perhaps you may want to do LST, to get them small and bushy. At least that is what I am reading from your post between the lines.

Best of luck in your grow(s) The Flesh, and keep us posted with your results.

Peace and Love

Thanks maineyankee! I just checked into LST. I think they may be a little too far along to do that- the stem may break. They don't need to be short and bushy necessarily. I'm going to buy a 600 watt High Pressure Sodium bulb & ballast today and I may start flowering soon idk.

callofcannabis · Nov 30, 2011

Instead of short and bushy how bout big and bushy,I grow outdoors is Louisiana so I got a pretty decent time for veg phase,can I top my plants to have one tall bushy plant?

I saw the pics that you posted and I would agree that they are too far into doing LST ... However ... I would read up on how to "Super Cropping" ... Keep in mind that you are looking for more flower spots so that when your flower, you will have more sites for flowers/buds.

Keep up the great work ... they look great !! :-)

One of the hardest things to do is to find the right place. Like the old addage goes .."Measure Twice, Cut Once !" .... Make sure that all elements from start to finish happens in your locale. Do I have to be stealth? What about vents? Electric ? and the list goes on ...

Best of luck to you in your endevours Mr. Cool and keep us in the loop with post and pics.

Again, Welcome :-)
