hello every one I hope to be a valued member of this forum. I like organic soil grown cannabis for its taste! but love the science and challenge of hydro organics think I need a little more experience though.
please check out my profile for some pics of my first grow any feed back would help I plan on doing a grow log next cycle to show my road to success. the pics are of 1 headband planted 10/18/2008 I have about 1 week left!! thanks for your time.:joint:

if you can research and fully understand what the plant needs when it needs it. Also meaning, if you can TELL when it needs something, then you shouldnt have a problem growing it. Thats why im not upset that my first few grows were crappy. I was just learning. Good job and tasty lookin buds!

dude those look awesome.
maybe you can give me a little comparison?
this is my first grow. this is the main bud on my plant thats been flowering about 4 weeks. i didnt have any cash so i couldnt get any nuts, but now ive got some nutes so they should be taking off now. what were your buds looking like at 4 weeks?

didnt mean to steal your thread just saw your tasty buds and thought you might wanna give me a comparison

yeah your only 4 weeks in. Sativa's take a few weeks more than Indicas so you should see some good bud growth forming. If you have some ventilation try and utilize it so you can cover the plants with the CFL's. Also, make sure there are no light leaks when the lights are off. That an cause very slow growth.

I say you got about 6-4 weeks left, but, youll know when the plant tells you.

Anyone that can garden allready is there allready.just apply what you know about gardening to cannabis growing.that bud looks well nice by the way nice structure lovely nug that was the top collar right what was the weight.you should be a wizz at this bro the cloneing pest control watering you will know it all i hated gardening but i find i get has much enjoyment out of seeing the plants go through the vegging/flowering than i do smokeing the stuff.i am a bit of a control freak so every grow that i have ever done i take all the bits that helped the plants and log it improveing is the name of the game.i just love to see family and friends faces when i pull one of the nugs of my blueberry out when they have been smokeing peacemaker.i also love seeing them go white after a few pure biffters of it great stuff.get into the outdoor scene bro there is no differance apart from the reccies to find the spot and watch them babbys get huge that why i like to get them in a little early may.by the time they are ready to harvest we are talking pounds not ounces go for it.Keep any info on grows out of your home or the police will do you for more than one grow keep at a friends or family house.

i also make logs of my grows. i do it like a school text book. i draw diagrams and stuff. like say im gonna top a plant, ill take pictures each day and draw out the growth. i know exactly how a cannabis plant grows, cm for cm. :D i take pics of my log book, page for page and burn it to cd. then i label the cd like "nirvana-come as you are" lol or something like that. and just put it with my cd collection. i dont htink the cops would ever sort through my cd collection and find my logs. if they did i woudl just say it was a log that i saved from the internet that someone had posted on a blog. lol.

good Idea and it will go well if you take the time to read and spend time with your plants just watch them closely and they will tell you what they need. DON'T OVER FEED AND IF IN SOIL FLUSH EVERY 4 WEEKS OR SO IF HYDRO do your homework I FEEL IF THE PLANTS ARE HEALTHY LEAVE THEM BE THE ONLY ? IS MICRO NUTRIENTS YOU need to predict when the plants will need more if you get it wrong it could lesson the harvest.
