wat would be the variables you are considering, as i am a humble willing to learn beginner.

Lights, number of plants, growing method, growing medium, nutes, grow cab, the growers experience, random chance. For the first grow it should really just be seen as getting a plant from seed to harvest, yield be damned, if it was still alive at harvest and had some buds on it then you succeeded. You then build on what you have learnt and witnessed and slowly start experimenting and changing it up.

That has been pretty much the main lesson for me this year, optimizing plant numbers and sizes. Still not got it right, either end up with a half empty grow area or sheer madness resulting in a crap load of fluff that goes straight in the trim bag.
Speaking of which said trim should hopefully be hashified by now
It is time for me to go stealth again, all rather suddenly, flatmates g/f is moving in for a month, today. I was informed of this not 5 minutes ago. Gotta love advanced warnings

quality, though can you really be asked with uni :/ I couldn't lolNext march?! damn that's a long tie to waitSaying that i think i will be getting evicted come january if i don't get myself a job to pay off some rent or a uni/A level course to take (seen as higher education so parents pay rent, precedent was set with the older brother haha)
yeah march is a bloody long time and then have to do a grow from march so may time would be my second harvest... though I have a cool 9oz's wet (of smokeable shit 7 off of the nearly finished plant)... how much weight does it usually loose, roughly?
I'm expecting it to drop down to about 6oz's give or take.

Haha, i don't doubt you couldn't. I had a bit of a time of it last weekend, twas harvest and feeding day, people all over the flat, flatmate kept having to jump into my room and close the door on everyone each time he wanted some baccy or such, i've kinda not bothered with the no1 rule of growing haha, plenty of people know, rebelll. She's here for a job though so i'll find time to get things done i'd have thought. Think it might be time to consider hooking up a water line into my bedroom rather than having to stagger doggedly fropm bedroom to bathroom and back with a shiny silver 40L tote of water
sneakkkky. When it's closed up it's just the airpumps that give it away at nighttime thought, otherwise it's gurt lush!I'd be tempted with a Law course at uni, not to become a lawyer, god forbid i would not want to become a member of the bar, but just so that i have a knowledge of legal workings and such, basically a uni course to teach me how they work against me haha.
You'll lose roughly 75-80% of the weight from wet to dry.

iv been looking for clones and cuttings everywhere, been asking everyone if they can get hold of any. but i bet you can guess what the asnwer always is...........................
thats right a big fat NO.
iv just saw one of the boys i get bud off sometimes and i havent asked him, so i asked and his answer took me by suprise abit, he said.
yeah, but why get one of them? when you have to go through the trouble of growing it, i can get you a plants that will be ready in 4 weeks.
i gave him the
look and said what!?!
and he said, yea they owe me money so i take the plants as payment then give them to other people to grow, were do you think the bud i sell you comes from.
i can see weres hes coming from, they owe you money, let them do the hard work, you take over at the last minute a reap the profit and thats the quickest easiest way to get your money back.
but should i ask him for one or just keep buying bud?
id be abit parra and sad,
parra because if someone found out i had one they could come to mine.
sad because someone else has put all the hard work, time, effort and love into maintaing a good grow and iv come along bought the plant for £100 left it for 4 weeks and got a decent yield.
am i just being wierd? or should i go for it?

Hello Guys (and Gals?)
I'm doing a bit of a ghetto grow cos I'm so short on funds (aren't we all?) I've been lurking for a few months and reading/laughing at this thread for past two weeks and I'm only up to post #4660 but I'll get there!! Everything I've learned so far, has been entirely from the RIU forums.
So, here's what my set-up is at the moment. Pay day on Thursday, so will be getting a few more bits. Just wanted to make sure what I'm doing sounds feasible?
Growing in an old wardrobe 2ft 4" width x 5ft height x 1ft 6" depth
I've painted the inside flat white for the time being.
I have 1x 300w 6400k CFL (the actual 300w, not equiv) plus a few smaller ones to hang around the sides (4x 20w cfl)
1x PC fan for exhaust (will be adding another exhaust fan at end of week)
1x Oscillating tower fan plus a passive intake (May change this for a smaller fan, though)
SEEDS - Northern Lights from Seedsman via HerbiesHeadShop (Ordered last wed, rec'd Thurs AM!)
SOIL: For the seedlings, I have Westlands Seed Sowing Compost with added John Innes
(I will be ordering some BioBizz All Mix on Thursday - as well as the grow/bloom/boost nutes)
I have 5litre pots at the moment, plus some peat seed pots.
My main question, is:
Is it better to plant the seeds into the peat pots, or straight into the 5litre pots?
I plan on transferring from 5lt to 10lt pots for flowering stage. Or, do I need bigger pots? Bear in mind the size of the grow space.
Ideally, would like to have 3 plants on the go.
I've never grown anything before, except for a Gladioli at school when I was about 8.
God/RIU Help Me.
I know I will get better results using better lights, but that's just not an option at the moment.
I am growing purely so I can become self sufficient and avoid dealers, underweight deals and droughts!
ANY feedback is welcome. Once I'm up and running, I'll post some pics

sounds like your sorted there... I've never used them peat pot things but I've heard people have problems with ph or summin killing seedlings. I'd put straight into the 5lt pots.
I also never used any of the fancy meters and stuff, just thermometer and humidity meter.
