I started my first grow abit ago. Not sure I got a grip on this yet, but my plants are just starting to show their sex. Threw out 1 male already. Mostly wanted to say hay to some other growers, to read and learn from your post.

peat moss and jiffy starter mix have enough nutrients in them to get you through veg but you may want to consider picking up some sort of all purpose fertilizer. not really sure what your budget is but you can pick up some expensive ones from a hydro store or just go with some water soluble miracle grow bloom booster which isnt bad on the wallet. just be carefull with it and dont over feed, start out with 1/4 strength and work your way up (same applies realy to any fertilizer)

not sure when you plan on switching ot flower either so it all depends i guess, if you start seeing some light green/yellow new growth you know the plant is hungry and you will want to get some sort of plant food into the soil, if they are a nice healthy green color then i wouldnt worry about it till flower time then you will want to make sure them girls have plenty of food available

never a bad idea man, my first grow was of the bagseed :)

i will tell you this though once you get some good genetics from a decent seed bank and breeder you will never go back to the ole bagseed :)

i always thought bagseed was just as good as these fancy strains till i broke down and placed my first seed order. you will be happy though with your end product and it only gets better with each grow afterwards.

Plants are on 12/12 cycle now, one is starting to show female 3 not sure. A guy I work with who has been growing for awhile, gave me some of his nutrients yesterday Have not applied yet waiting on pots to feel light

Its dicreet as hell from their or attitude...shipping package to remain secret, if you ever get a call from someone asking if you got a package PLAY DUMB. And make sure to get guaranteed shipping, little more but worth it, if anything happens they will replace. Also Nervana seeds i heard is good

Depends on the bag. . .

If you're talking about the seedy Mexican brick stuff, check out the link to my grow report in my sig, below. I think its worth a look if you're growing this stuff already or have been thinking about it.

Bluntly, in terms of potency, no, even grown well, that stuff isn't as potent as good modern commercial strains.

On the other hand, there is still a lot to recommend about these Mexican lines: Can't beat the price of the ceeds (meaning you won't kick yourself if you accidentally kill a few along the way), plants are extremely tough and heat-resistant, flavor and potency are a *LOT* better than the bricked up commercial stuff, and yield is good.

You definitely could do worse.

Don't add too much.
That's the most common mistake.

You don't need much, and you can always add more later.

But once you add too much, you can seriously hurt the plant, and then fixing it may not be so easy.

Also, if you're growing cheapo brick bag ceeds, check my link on Mexican schwagg below. There is some good info in there you may find helpful.

nice trhead man, but i do have to say my ordered seeds i am growing have 5x the trichomes as that mexican bagseed @ week 4 of flower, not trying to dog your plants and like i said above nothing wrong with growing out some bagseed plants as they come out really good (usually 2x as good as the bud you picked them from)

anyways my point is this....bagseed plants are good, quality genetics from a reputable breeder are better. sorry if you dissagree but i have grown both and i can see the difference first hand.

I live in Illinois, USA. nerves about ordering seeds, any advice?
Central Illinois here - ordered from Attitude - received order exactly 2 weeks after ordered - from UK so didn't think it was too bad. Got guaranteed shipping - thought it was worth it. So far, everything is growing fine.
