I mix mine with water and aerate it for a day with a fish tank air pump and air stone. I usually throw in a scoop of compost with it too. Don't worry if there is a sand-like residue at the bottom of the container. Most of the nutrients have been extracted from it into the water. I have also heard of people just pouring it on the soil so it is a slower extraction and feeds over a longer period of time but I don't do this. You can also mix some into your soil before planted the seeds but then you want to make sure it is as the bottom of the container so that you don't burn the seedlings when they first sprout.

average for this plant is between 11 and 18 inches i think mines around 12ish. i had a slow start with her (not enough light) but once i sorted everything out she started growing perfectly she should be ready to crop at around 8 to 10 weeks shes at 8 weeks now i think she got about another 2 or 3 weeks yet (cuz of the slow start). Its my first grow so im just learning on this one but so far im happy with my results
as i've had no problems to date (well apart from a little light issue at the start) she is smelling really nice at the min though cant wait to smoke her

cool man i'll have to look into that thanks for the tip
i rember my first grow i had a seed from jamacia that a friend got when she got some weed there i grew it and cloned her once everyon loved the smoke it was a relly slow started no bigger then a baseball for te first month and a half but ended u standing about 3 feet tall 1 single cola i wasnt smart and didnt keep he strain alie with the clone i just flowered her amd smoked her to me self lolaverage for this plant is between 11 and 18 inches i think mines around 12ish. i had a slow start with her (not enough light) but once i sorted everything out she started growing perfectly she should be ready to crop at around 8 to 10 weeks shes at 8 weeks now i think she got about another 2 or 3 weeks yet (cuz of the slow start).

i think the first grow is the best you learn so much from it and the people on these sites just keep up the good work and ech time you grow you get that much better.
i have done about 3 grows and earn more each time and yeild more each time lol
thanks for listening

I would say you have more than 2-3 weeks to go, but you never know. They can have a crazy growth spurt and mature fast. Do you have a scope? I ordered a few different ones off of e-bay. I recommend jewel's loops. They are much easier to use than the long weed scopes that have an adjustable focus. Get one that is at least 30x magnification. If you can find one that is 60x or 100x that's even better. I think they run about 20 bucks or so. Otherwise just wait until the buds looks full and most to all of the hairs are shriveled and red. I've seen many logs and youtube videos where people have chopped too early. It will get you high but waiting can give you such a better smoke. Wait too long though and it'll just make you stupid and sleepy. Keep posting pics and we'll all help too.
Joker's right. The first grow you learn so much, and even if you screw it up bad you'll still get some very good smoke. It's always better when you grow it yourself.
What type of lights are you using now and how many? I skimmed the old posts but couldn't find it, and it only looks like 2 bulbs.. I did see you mention that electical costs were a concern, but I wouldn't worry about that with CFL's. Say you run 200w of CFL's for 20 hours a day. That's 4kw a day. 1kw costs about 10-15 cents (U.S.). Not sure how much it is in Europe. So in America using that much power it would be 40-60 cents a day or 12-18 dollars a month. Plus the cost of fans which might be a few more dollars. So with a decent amount of light it will only be about 20-30 a month. Well worth the money when you get you final product. Also, if you have a regular strain the lights are on for only 12 hours a day during flowering which makes it even cheaper.
