im very stoked that the federal govt. has allowed us to use the banking system finally, and they are letting states that legalize it go their own way for now....i am very hopeful that the prohibition is nearing its end w00t w00t.

Hi guys, I'm new to here and growingseems to be going well. However, i would like some tips advice, anything anyone experienced could provide.

Lights = sunlight from morning til night. CFLs for now. 3 26 w 6500ks 1 42 w 5000k.

Soil = miracle grow organic

Fert= 10_10_10 ultra green

Have on an 18 n 6 schedule. I know they need a transplant. Thanks everyone

1st time grower. Chocolope ordered. Tired of paying $$. Grew peppers and veggies a few times so I hope to accomplish this. Off to ask questions

Hi,

I'm a casual smoker, started smoking a little under a year ago. I'm not a grower, though I do have a more than curious interest in growing.

This firstimer started 20 August with 17 clones, 5 OG, 3 XXXHeadband, 3 White Berry, 3 Skywalker, 3 Blue Dream. I put in 600 Watts of CFL (3 X 200 W), an A/C, Fans into a 8’ X 4’ X 8’ room. Started with 4 inch pots, and transplanted to 10 gallon Dirt Pots in week 4, and added a 1000 W MH with a XXXMagnum 6” vented hood (picked up on craigslist for $140 with ballast and bulb, all one season used). Now into week 5, and all seems well, but I certainly welcome any comments or suggestions. The plants have all been topped/FIMed, & manicured by cutting out older growth fans to open the canopy for the flower nodes closer to the stalk.


Fox Farm Ocean Forrest
Great White for transplanting
Grow Big & Big Bloom nutes


I will begin flowering in 10 - 14 days under 1 1000 W HPS and 1 600W HPS, and move three mothers, and several clones to my smaller clone room with the 600W of CFL, and 1 T5 Flouro 100 Watter for propagating the clones.


I’d love to hear from You!

Nirvana seeds has 'Bubblicious'. I've not been able to find an independent review on just 'Bubblicious', so I have read up on Wonka's Bubblicious, 'A' Plus Plus Plus (somewhere, I was stoned.) Don't know if they are the same, But bubblicious from Nirvana...Oh...I have it, it is the best. It clones well too. Another keeper at Nirvana is 'Ice'.

to get to know what your soils water retention is like you can purchase a small moisture meter to test a few times to get used to it and to help calibrate your eyes to know when watering time is or you can simply use the method of pushing your finger into the soil if the soil sticks to your finger it is still moist, you may like to leave it and water it the next day, this all depends on your climate including weather/ temp / humidity etc, for instance in spring you may only water every 3rd day and in summer you may need to water every day. It is always best to steer clear of using the crystal nutrients and try to use at least the Seasol premix 1 part as this will help lessen the ability for toxic build up of nutrients caused by the salt crystals.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to posting here, and while not a grower yet, I may or may not in a year or two, provided I have some space. I have been a smoker for over 10 years though, heavily for awhile, and at times off and on.

Just recently picked up today, and everything looks good except this one leaf of this one nub. It has a strange white spots on it, not trichomes, and not white mold. I have no idea what it is, and now I'm paranoid about smoking any of this.



I'd say the spots are a bit more white than the photo makes it seem, but it's hard to tell what with it being so small and all. It's also hard, not powdery or webby or anything. while scratching it with a toothpick, it doesn't come off, the leaf just breaks. Sorry if it seems overly paranoid, but I've never seen something like this before, and I probably would've missed this one too if I had used my buster. I'm lost.

Hey everyone! I'm Jojo, it's a pleasure to be here. Thought I'd say hello! As well as, thank you for all of the wonderful information. THANK YOU! I've been perusing the forums and learning so much! This is my first grow and I'm very excited. I have MS and medical mj has been a MIRACLE! So now I'm licensed and taken up farming! My first batch is bagseed, I can't remember what strains I saved so it's a crapshoot. Can you believe all of my plants turned out to be girls? I'm a lucky girl! They have about 2 weeks left to bloom and it's harvest time. WOOT WOOT!! Next batch is a few white fire, a few headband, a few blue dream and then some sour diesel. Those girls are in preflower at the moment. I also have some cuttings that are doing AWESOME! It would have been a real nightmare trying to figure this out without all of your helpful information! THIS FORUM ROCKS!!!

Total newb here ,looks great on the bud.

Hi , I'm new here , I'm from Philippines . I am planning to have a plant indoor . Any suggestion of a plant that grows indoor ? , It would be great if it is a medicinal plant .
Thanks in advance .

ei yow ... i'm also from the phil. where you from exactly man. ?

Hello,
How does one send a PM? I've read about it in the FAQ's, but can't see any button or link.

Hello. My name is Midge and this is my first time growing marijuana. It happened quite by accident really. A friend with indoor grow had just started their plants and we had a huge ice storm. It knocked the power out for 2 days. most of the seedlings died. The few that remained were quite sickly. She gave me two and I potted them and set them on my deck. I think they are almost ready!

ive posted a couple times already in other places when needed. i wanted to post tonight to thank everyone who has contributed to this wealth of knowledge that is RIU. i was given a tent, some led's and some seeds by my neighbor, who is moving. he got me started with germinating my 5 seeds and helped me set up the tent. from there, ive used RIU to figure out diy LED panels, sexing pre-flowers, soil vs. hydro, nutes, cloning and a host of plant maladies along the way. i have one female from those original seedlings and have gotten 8 clones from her. i have one 5 gal bucket hydro clone as a test subject and am continuing with soil for the others. as soon as i finish a cabinet this weekend for vegging the new clones, i will put the mother in 12/12 under a new 600 hps in my tent.. going to train her on a vertical scrog. hoping to get some nugs off her by ski season.
anyway, i would know none of this without you folks. thanks. this is really fun. i haven't been excited about something like this since drinking as a teenager.

Hi there. Another new grower here.
Getting on a bit in years so finally decided to have a go at this growing lark myself.
Got all the basics and 8 plants currently a few weeks into flower. Had issues with pests and heat but hopefully all my calamities will put me in a better position for the second attempt.

Happy Growing folks. Stay safe.

Hi there! Another newb! I have a few outdoor plants that are beginning to flower and I've removed the 2 males I had. These are currently growing in a planter box outside. The tallest of all of them is about 13-14 inches tall. The highs this time of year are mid to high 70's and around high 50's and low 60's. The cooler nights haven't been as frequent, but they will be in the next 3-4 weeks. I am interested in bringing them inside and maybe trying cfl's as I'm on a budget.I guess my questions are these--How much light should I use if I'm using CFL's? If I used a bathroom to grow in, would it be too stagnant air-wise to grow? I need to transplant these(or do I?) and I'm wondering what type of growing medium I should use? Some places I've read make it look relatively simple, whereas I know it can also be WAY more complicated. Judging from the height, upcoming weather change, etc How much time do I need to finish this process?? Can I leave them outside and cross my fingers? Big BIG thanks!!

You can leave them outside as long as temps don't go below freezing or frost hits. Those plants wouldn't take a frost. People do leave them outside but those plants are much larger and can take a frost or 2. Depends on where you live. I am in ontario. So not able to happen.
I am a newb too. I use simple MG soil which has all the nutrients in it at the moment. Until I see results I am not going to spend too much on items like that. I believe your plants are weeks from ready. They look about 3 weeks in to flower. Did you take any clones.
As for cfl's. The more the better. You have to have a light tight room or area to mimic 12/12. Good air circulation and they will start to stink.

what's up everyone, newbie here. Every time i Googled anything hydro related this site popped up so figured I'd join.
