hello fellow farmers. glad there is such a farmers coop here for us. thank you for letting me in the door. i received my 10 WW (+5) seeds yesterday. the 10 WW are marked and i do not know what the 5 free are. i used marijuana seeds nl. 7 days from UK!!
I am new indoor farmer, yet have done intensive research on how to. I am going to be using 3 6500k cfl and T5 6500K 4' 2 lamp in a closet, in each section. the upper section will be 40" high, 48" wide and 24" deep. and so will the bottom section.
i am a bit concerned about height. i plan to start off with 3 gallon containers. is 3 gallon good enough? and with the pot size will i have to re-pot? before harvest in the space that i have? will it be best to leave out the 1 sections first time around and use the whole 48"w x 24"d x 84"h ? and how many plants should that area have comfortable grow space? i am using soil.
i have been growing outside and have had plants 10-12' in diameter and 15-20' tall.
 
I recently got given a female plant at what i think is at a late stage already! I noticed that it had white pistols sprouting everywhere. I have been watering it at the same time daily and its gettin 12 hrs light and 12 dark, latly i noticed the pistols going brown, is this early signs of budding or is my plany dieing, pleae respond asap! Kirsty :)

sounds like its doing ok,when 75% of pistons are brown its neally ready to come down.you really need a scope to check the trichoms,they are the crystals,if they are clear,they are not ready,your looking for amber colour and cloudy.:joint:

My name is Craig Koelsch with http://420Reform.com . I am a resident of the state of Florida and have been for most of my life. I have been encouraged by NORMLS pro-activities for the reform of marijuana laws since my late teens in the early nineties. Although I do not consume or participate in any marijuana activity I am a huge advocate for the reform of marijuana legislation both on state and of course federal levels. It has been a huge disappointment to me over the years to see good, honest, hard working people jailed and convicted of harmless, non-violent marijuana crimes. I was personally arrested for the sale and delivery of marijuana in 1994 and have seen many friends and acquaintances face the same difficult fate. Although I distributed marijuana, I rarely consumed it during the time that I was involved in “sharing” it with friends. I did however consume marijuana on a recreational level for approximately three years of my life.
Having been truly diagnosed with bi-polor disorder in my early twenties I recognized how my consumption of marijuana helped control and level off the symptoms of my disease. I have also recognized its benefits to friends, family and acquaintances who also suffer from other debilitating diseases or health issues.
I have been involved in advocating the use of marijuana on a local level for many years now. At nineteen years old, immediately following my arrest, I opened a “tobacco shop” in Bradenton, Fl. I owned and operated the store successfully for a year. Unfortunately, my friend and confidant at the time, Chris Hill, of CHILLS was struggling with the feds opposition to his successful pipe manufacturing business. I closed up shop and began to develop my career as an entrepreneur. After many successes and failures in business I am now a 33 year old man struggling with today’s diminishing economy and failed real estate market. I was successful in real estate and owned and operated a successful nightclub in 2005-06. After the real estate market crashed and the economy began to crumble, opportunity became less and less for a person like me. I have moved in with my parents and am now unemployed and broke. I have helped a friend establish a small business and work side by side with him laboring outdoors just to pay some personal bills.
This brings me to today. I have always been successful in “rallying and leading the troops”, so to say. My words of limited wisdom and endless research has given me the ability to encourage others to do well for themselves both in business and in life. Since the change in our Presidential administration I have become more involved in researching marijuana legislation, effects of the consumption of marijuana, dispensaries, cultivation, etc… Of course, being an entrepreneur I see a good opportunity to help those in need and also to begin to share business techniques in order to own and operate dispensaries in states where medical marijuana laws allow. I have been researching laws in the state of Colorado and have begun dialogue with folks regarding the current dispensaries operating in that state. Since Attorney General Holder made his announcement that the Feds would stop raiding dispensaries in medical marijuana states and the State of Colorado put off their March 18th vote regarding caregivers and patients I see a good opportunity to show the people that successful dispensary business’s will not hurt but help their local and state economy, as well as reduce the amount of violent crime associated with the drug cartels that currently control the marijuana market.
This is my current dream and proposal. I of course need to find investors who are also advocates for our cause to help begin the business process. I would like to allow a television, documentary production crew to follow myself and others during the journey to show the process and benefits of beginning to help medical marijuana patients get the help they deserve. I am asking you for any ideas and assistance.

Hi,
I've been enjoying the hell out of the forums here and decided I better say howdy. I'm currently on my 4th grow, my 3rd indoors, my second hydro. I cannot say enough about the help I have found just searching the posts. I wish I had all this at my fingertips on my first grow 16 years ago! I probably would not have given up for so long. Thanks to everyone!

Welcome and glad to hear you stumbling your way through your first grow as i did. I'm not even close to an expert as I'm almost halfway through my second grow. RIU has been great a total wealth of information in here and for the most part decent people. Anyway, I just tried my hand at topping a couple weeks ago and it went well. I waited till they were about 6 inches and had no problem, but you might wanna check the FAQ section for more in depth information. All the best on your grow!
