I'm completely new at this, I've been buying who knows what but I'm trying to find out what strain would be best for, lower back pain, insomnia, sleep apnea, migraines, and ibs. Can someone please help me. If I could get one kind that would be great. I'm tired of popping bunch of pills that don't work, so I started on marijuana and it helps me but not for everything. Thanks.

"A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer." however, on that note, Could you please hook me up to the dumb question thread. For example; what is trolling? I've been growing for a while but , I'm new to forums. Perhaps there is a glossary somewhere.

What are hydroponics ?

Hydroponics is when the plant recieves the nutrients through water instead of soil.

Would you recommend hydroponics for a noob grower? Or should I try soil? Sorry I'm new to the forums

IMO if you understand electrical and a bit of plumbing, even with larger aquariums etc I would say jump straight into hydro. Hydro is in fact easier than soil. It's all in the mind set.

If you find watering such a complete mystery maybe you should spend five dollars and get a hygrometer.

@bird mcbride Why do say hydro is easier than soil, especially for a new grower? Considering all the work it takes to run hydroponics systems, it's not recommended for beginners in all the information I've read about it. Getting through atleast one grow before trying hydro was the suggestion given by the different articles I read.

its probably best to get to know yr plant on yr 1st grow in a more forgiving medium. im not saying hydro is impossible to acheive 1st time around, but i gotta agree with JOE...get into new styles after learning the fundementals and technique.
either way, have fun and good growing hombre.

I don't get my info by reading articles.
Either which way, soil or hydro you'll require the same amount of venting, wiring, timers/relays for lighting etc. The difference is once I get the timers set on the watering it's a once a week change the res thing and some cloning and tending to the moms.
I keep the mix simple. I ph down tap water with dolomite lime(from a lumberyard) and mix in 1/6 of what the NPK instructions read for soil/outside. The spent res' go to the moms and clones.
A person doesn't need a big table, or a big res. A $40 bag of hydroton can do a small table, 2'x2'x6"/1kw hps and smaller and it'll still leave lots of hydroton for the mom and the clones.

Digital timer plus relay $15
Air pump, cheap
Your creativity...priceless

@bird mcbride Good info there, definitely do able. With over feeding/watering tendencies in beginners, soil is more forgiving which is why it was my choice, along with the fact I grow vegetables and others herbs and also maintain flowers and rose bushes outside including a garden. To each his own, as long as we're all happy growing!

So my question will probably have no answer cuz I'm growing seeds from local landrace and will probably never know the genetics. But at least I know it's sativa...am just gonna watch it grow I guess.
Anyone familiar with Philippine landrace? Particularly the southern area. Sativas tend to grow tall. But plants here are rather short and they are flowering...the SLOWEST way possible.

Under the cloning section.... Are these links broken for you guys as well? (the first and third listed)

Only the second link works and its a soil clone... I'm going to search around for aero cloning.
