With clones its sure that you will have all female plants, they are faster to grow since you dont have to germinate no seed or wait for a seedling to sprout. Both starting from seed and from clones have their own benefits. If you have seeds, you can breed and cross strains, but if you want to have "sinsemilla" (or seedless buds) you will have to watch out for male plants and remove them from females before they release their pollen. If you have clones there is no worries about that. But some say that starting from seed is the best for potency, and some say that the clones genes will diminish in potency and health as time goes by. another thing you have to worry about with seeds is hoping that all will germinate, and all will be female. There are some "bad" seeds that are not healthy and will not make it through. With clones the only thing to hope for is that the mother from where the clones came is a healthy, disease and pest free plant. I would do both seed and clones, have a few clones and a few seedlings, grow them both the same, same soil, nutes, lights, and in the end you will be able to see what works best for you, and what you like best. Oh and seeds tend to be a lot more expensive than clones, and in some areas a lot harder to get a hold of good seeds. And if its your first time growing, consider growing in good old soil or a soilless medium like coco and peat moss as they are more forgiving than hydro, and if you over or under nute it will not affect the plants as bad as in a hydro set up. I know a guy whos plants fried just because his ph was too high in a hydro setup. Whatever you decide to go with, good luck and happy farming!

Thanx for the info! So then it is best to take the clones from the biggest and most potent plant right?

How's it going RIU nation, I thought I'd introduce myself and let you guys know what I'm working with. Since I'm new to this indoor gardening thing. I kind of stumbled on to this whole thing by a buddy of mine was moving out of state and had to dismantle his setup in a hurry. All of a sudden I got three clones and a mommy left at my door step... Not so bad, I geuss? So anyways I currently got them in a spare room under a florescent light about 3 weeks on 24hrs. My first question is organic soil okay (picked up from local nursery) and how much longer before I move them to my 600watt hps?

just give them water for 4 to 7 days and also cut back on the watering. you have to let the soil dry out. not to bone dry. just to moist, as the roots need to breath and you want them to stretch out looking for water. so cut them back and move to a better/bigger pot. as it looks like light can penetrate that cup. them make sure the pot allows you to have at least 1 dry day. try this. water let dry let dry then water and adjust as needed,. once you have re-potted. you siad you're soil is lightly fert. what soil is it. as it should have enough for at least a good few week. so once youve repotted try just water and watch youre plant she will tell you when she is hungry and gl

Hey i've recently been thinking about growing an autoflowering seed from barneys, however i want to keep it as simple as possible. Indoor with just natural light and back into a cupboard at night. I have never grown a plant before and want some advice, i want an autoflowering seed due to it's manageable size, also don't care to much about yield just a bit of personal supply would be nice.
Will it be fine to grow naturally or are fertilizer and lights essential?

Just seeing what else is out there. Had the idea to build a small Ninja style grow box for about 2-4 plants. Was thinking about learning some splicing and what not as well. But I'm more worried about just building a good box. So whats up, I'm here to learn.

Hi everyone. Just joined to find out some info and there is alot of it. Im basicly just looking to feed myself and was going to grow outside but i live in a warm place in australia and our summers are long and hot already cracking 30c and its only August by october will be into 40c and that wont let up till march. So i thought i could just get one of those grow tents just big enough for one plant. I know there is alot of info on here but most people seem to be on a lot larger scale then what i want to do. Basicly im just trying to find out what will be ample light set ups and just a general kick in the right direction to get started. Any help would be great thanks alot. Now back to my reading

Hello Everyone, thanks for having me.
I am located in the northern U.S. This is my first time trying to grow, I have been doing a lot of research but I canot find any answers to the current complication I am having. I tried to search the forums to see if someones older posting could answer my question but I couldnt find it so sorry for the double ost if it is.
I planted my seedlings from seed about two weeks ago, there are some that seems to be standing strong while others are slumped over. I believe its not under water because I water them all just a little everday. I was wondering what might be causing the issues. I will attatch some pictures of all of my plants that has been on the same schedule. I wonder what the temperature should be in between with the baby plants at this state. I think they look overall healthy as you can see from the pictures some are standing tall others are just fallen over.

i read somewhere that you should wait until the soil is dry then you water them, when mine were that size the also slumped i put a Popsicle stick to hold it up (with string) and it worked!.
If you take a look my picture you can see that they're upright now..
hope that helps! and good luck!

Hey whats up guys? Im new to this so i have many questions to ask. I rolled up a fat @ss j and must of dropped a few seeds and now it seems that i have 2 kids that love the dirt n sun. Some how they made it into buckets indoors under lights with a fan blowing 12/12. Flowering pretty nice but my concern is 1 seems to have fatter fingers then the other. But there the same exact height and the thinner one seems to be dropping pollen. I see pods and white flowers that fall off of both plants. I was wondering if they sound male hermie or female. I dont know if i screwed up along the way. Thx people
