I did some indoor growing three years ago and had a hefty enough yield from two amazing plants to be able to wait until now to start up but I am rusty and my growing e-mail buddy, Lothar, seems to have gone.
I just placed my seeds to germ and have the pots, lights, and veg room ready to go. I revamped the exhaust on the veg room so that my house will not smell and planted a ton of mint where it will exhaust. The seeds I am using are IPxEndless Sky which were a gift. I also have two packs of seeds I bought in Amsterdam as back ups if these do not germ.
I bought pearlite as well as Miracle Grow seed starting mix. Has anyone used this mix before?
I can use all the help and support I can get during this grow.

Welcome to the forum. The perlite and Miracle grow will work fine, if it is the one with nutes you shouldn't have to add any. Look forward to reading your journal when you get it posted. VV:blsmoke:

AEROGARDEN EXPERT ADVICE NEEDED!


I Got An US aerogarden but im using it with a stepdown transformer in the UK the transformer Works a treat but ive now blown my bulbs, So The Big question is what if i was to buy UK Version bulbs and put them into the US aerogarden then use my ps2 power cord to supply the right voltage for the bulbs i really dont want to blow any more builbs , or waste any more money so tell me if im wrong, Advice would be Very Welcome
Hey reefa welcome to the forum. I would suggest you ask, bongjockey, Al B Fuct or Skunkkushybird this question. Al and Bong Jockey are both from Aussie land and Skunk lives in the UK. They should all be able to tell you for sure. One option you may want to consider is replacing the bulb socket, cord and bulb, replace them with the 240 volt parts that work with your electric system. VV:blsmoke:

So here I am - desperate to hang in there. As for an intro - I'm 57; a retired Teamster. I'm very pro-union. a Yankee bleeding-heart liberal. Just got "legal" and started using a vaporizer a couple of months ago. I'm interested in putting some seeds in the ground and would like to some info on vapes and growing outside.
As they say in California -
Have a great day!:peace:

Hi again! I don't want to sound silly but I keep reading about grow journals, how do you go about starting one? Is there a place on the site? I'd love to post my pictures and get feed back from the forum. I have a few pictures in my album, take a look and tell me what you think. this is my first time and I have no idea what I am doing... and I think my favorite plant was a hermaphadite. :evil: I cut it off and it's drying and FULL of seeds, now I thought only female plants got seeds or am I wrong and males seed out too? Now, if It was a herm would this have spared the other plants in separate pots? I am hoping that only the plants in the same pot will have seed and none of the others. :confused: We'll have to wait and see?? How many days does it take generally until you can harvest? I planted April 15

Well my Lowryder#2's haven't gotten that tall yet, but they are 11 weeks old and still not even close to finishing yet. I started mine inside and they are now outside along with the rest of the crop
Haven't smoked any except a small sample of one and it was pretty damn stoney. Welcome to the forum, good luck and happy growing.:peace:

Unless you live in an are with consistant daylight, I wonder if you will be able to create and start a growing cycle in late June. I guess I am in the shithouse for giving people cynical advice on this site. So sorry about my reality. I just try and explain to people that have their heads in the clouds about how easy to grow. I have learned the hard way. Personally, I think if you can get your hands on some clones, you would be much better off and get a more expiditous recovery on your plants that "finish."

Hey! I am so new to all this you could tell me anything and I'd believe you. :dunce: I'm almost too embarassed to even admit that not only do I not know anything about growing, I don't even know about smoking it. I have a teenage son I'm betting knows tons more about all this than I do!

Within a week I will have my state "permit" saying I can grow and smoke for a medical condition, so I'm just trying to learn a bit before I sink the funds for the permit. I have no house plants because I'm so adept at killing them. I really hope that isn't a statement about how this will go. lol

I'm thrilled this resource is available. It's going to take me forever to sift thru all the information but I can't wait to learn. It seems like there are a lot of experienced and knowledgeable people here - so thanks for sharing the information you've gained with those of us who know absolutely nothing on this topic!

hello all new to the site and am glad i did

im trying my hand at growing my own stash and the plant is doing well

i was a bit concerned however of some yellowing of some leaves on the plant and after some research it was caused by heat stress... the temp in my area has been fluxuating alot mid 90's for a few day then drop to the 60's for a few days which has been going on for a month or so....its only 2 leaves anyway....but i'll keep watch to make sure...

there is alot of good info on this site...
