Welcome New Members!

Whats up everyone, I'm a long time connoisseur first time grower from the Dirty South. Judging from the vast amount of post with so much knowledge i have seen, I am in the right place for all my first time growing needs.

Right now I'm working on building a custom indoor grow box using a 30inWx17inDx70inH old utility cabinet.

So far my light setup is going to consist of two 85w CFL's as the primary source of light. While closer to the plants Im going to run 4 42wCFl closer to the leaves. All walls will be coated with Mylar to help reflect light.

In the bottom i have a small air intake for air flow fresh air flow. in the top i plan on installing a small exhault fan with a carbon filter to help regulate CO2 levels.

So far i have 2 small seedlings growing outside in direct sunlight once i finish the box im going to bring them inside. I have over 15 various types of bagseeds I have collected and stored. Gonna start 6 seedlings inside the box as a test before i venture out into buying any expensive seeds.

Well i look forward to updating you with pictures and on my progress. Wish me luck!! -CiscoKid51

Hi everyone. This is my first post as well as my first grow. Been a lover of ganja since the 70s and, after all these years, finally decided to take a shot. Got a lot of inspiration and a taste for the homemade kind bud and hash and had to try my hand. Gotta nice shot of a nice but at 8 weeks flowering. This was from the free seeds I got from a Dutch seed company. Also have 10 White Widow Fem seeds but am doing some experimentation first. What do you think?

hey, i have not yet started planting yet, but im very interested. i am going to buy seeds, but i do not know where to get them from. i do already know that i am having a trip to jamaica around november. i live in california where the weather is normally about 80 degrees fer. any suggestions on a certain kind of plant that is an easy plant for beginners that i can plant outdoor. i still live with my parents so cant really make a room to grow it. if anyone could help me out here it'd be greatly appreciated (*:

welcome to the forums guys.

burton: try nirvana seeds ( Cannabis seeds straight from the breeder/seedbank NIRVANA - High Quality Hemp Seed - Indica Sativa Feminized Marijuana seeds. )

There's a few good ones to have a look at... how about:
Kaya is a hearty strain bred for rougher climates or novice indoor growers. Leaning on the sativa side, Kaya grows big and tall yet finishes early. Kaya has a spicy flavour refreshingly different from Skunk and has a moderate T.H.C. level. She is pest resistant and can take the heat. Perfect for leaving somewhere with a g.p.s. and finding it again in fall. Kaya thrives in a greenhouse as well. (100% Feminized)

or for a non-feminised Durban Poison

check it out, good luck

just a question, and i might sound a bit dumb here cause ive just started thinking of growing lastnight, but wut is the diference between non feminized and feminized

feminized means your plants are guaranteed to be females.
non-feminized means seeds can germinate into either male or female plants.

you want only female plants for smoking as they produce fat buds with NO SEEDS(good), while male plants produce LOTS OF SEEDS(bad). A male plant nearby to females can turn them male and ruin your harvest... I suggest you go for feminized seeds as otherwise you will need to 'sex' your plants which takes time and effort.

aright man, thanks for the help
im gonna be checkin back up on here with questions so look out for me
a few more questions:

is there anything special i will need to plant outdoors


and how long should i go for watering and how much each time


how much weed is this gonna produce me if i do a fairly good job at it?


and how long does it normally take for them to be about finished?

Hey everyone,
This is my first time attempting to grow seeds. These were given to me, I figure I should try these first before I spend money buying any. So far I have 8 that have sprouted, and this morning (day 5) two of them have their first leaves. I would love any suggestions that will help me succeed, I have been reading as much as I can find, but I'm unsure about things like root stimulator and fertilizers, when do I need them and how much should I use. So confused, thanks for your help.

hey well to answer your question there are two really good post that have been working well for me. you can get a ppm meter on ebay for like 20 bucks.

yea u will need to transplant them into their own seperate pots, so that their roots dont tangle together.

How old are your kids? Growing is a smelly affair. Dedicating a bathroom can be a problem.

I believe she is talking to me.

Yes, I know it's a smelly affair. I've been running up against a lot of intense "You can't do that" kind of talk from two friends, one of whom I mentioned in my first post on this thread, who is a seasoned grower. Yesterday, she insisted that I'd never even be able to do it (get any weed to smoke), That bothered me-- a lot. I've been doing my research here and elsewhere.

I've got one teenager who's old enough to go live with his father (and this was already on the table before I started looking into growing--that kid just needs a wakeup call and I'm more than okay with him moving out). I've got one preschooler. Kids that age pretty much accept whatever you tell them, so if one bathroom is just not being used anymore, it's not a big deal. I've already tried it in the last month: no using this bathroom, and the little one just goes with it.

Here's what I am thinking of doing. Putting a lock on my bedroom door, and then another on the bathroom door, so that there are two locks before one can get in that bathroom.

As far as odor, I found a really good thread on here about a charcoal exhaust system. I don't know exactly where it was, otherwise, I'd post a link to that particular thread.

I'm getting concerned myself about whether or not I can pull this off. Right now, what's got me confused as all hell is the electric, the lights, etc. I know you need a lot, a lot, a lot of wattage, and it seems the more I read, the more confused I get. If anyone could recommend a thread on here, I'm all ears (eyes??).

Then, of course, there is the issue of kids. The teenager has to move out if I'm going to make this work. I'm not so much concerned that he himself would do anything about it, but the blabbing factor scares me badly.

I already figured out that I'd look perfectly normal if I one day freaked out and put locks on my doors; it's not something that would make anyone really pause and say, "She did WHAT?" since I'm kind of mercurial anyway.


And since I don't think I can count on any help from the friend who already is a grower, I'd really appreciate any advice on lighting.

Thanks.

Edited to add:

One more question. The friend who keeps nay-saying this says that I've got no idea how many hours it will take per day to keep up with it. I've visited with her numerous times when she's been growing, and I never noticed anyone spending hour after hour after hour in the grow room. So for those of you who've been successful at this, can you tell me about how many hours per day this takes? She made it sound like it was just about a full time job and that I'd never be able to spend enough time tending plants.

How it is Using Milk for the grow?is it good?
I mean give him/her water every day and some milk.
dont kill her/him?Good for him/her?
And Hows The Juice?
after i harvest him/her its good to put the Flowers of her\him in milk then make it ready?

Hi guys, I'm a noob and interested in best ways to search and find direct information. For example, I'm looking for tips on growing a mother plant, the step by step kind. I've gone to search and typed "mother" and just get alot of posts but nothing really stating what I'm after. Thanks for having me.

LOL......nevermind, I'm a fast learner!!!

hey i got a bunch off seeds in a bag i purchased a while ago from a friend.The bud was not the best bud in the world but it did have alot of orange hairs and was pretty dank and green.(schwag) How ever, germanated them from seed about a month ago and put about cool: seeds per dixie cups(2).I now realize i shouldnt have put so many per cup, but since its my first time trial and error will result in better plants next time =).Any ways they all look very very healthy and very green but they dont neceserilly grow alot in height.They seem to just stay short and stumpy but grow many node spots and leafs.I am not sure if its because of genetics or what but they were about 3" 1/2 until i recently transplanted them into a 3 gallon pot.Ever since the transplant they have been looking even better as time goes on, but i am wondering if i just let them grow for a few more months and see how big they can get then do 12/12 and let them start flowering? Im not really sure but can anyone tell me if my plants are stunted? or if they will eventually pull through and have a growth spurt.Also starting yesterday i have been leaving my plants in 100% direct sunlight out side from 11:00Am-7:00Pm.(8 hours) then i give them some time to relax until 11:00(4 hours) then i bring them inside my house for the night 11:00pm-11:00 am(12 hours)
the next morning when i wake up.A total of 20 hours of light and 4 darkness.Will this confuse it and screw up the plant? Please contact me on AIM (if possible for easier communication) or email me at gillespie66x@aim.com . YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRICIATED!
