Welcome New Members!

Hi folks, am here to add comedy, and share the knowledge I do have... which leans much more toward general horticulture than growing of cannabis (at this time) - Am a DIY-type person who likes to experiment, and can not wait to get set up in the thumb here and start hammering out genetics to see what creations come of it.

Great to be back to riu. Life has veered me away and now a higher calling is saying,

"dude, you were a great grower. And you were wayyy happier while farmin. Just saying never downgrade life always up dat shit".

I said.

"yes massa YYEEESSSS"

Hello everyone. I started growing a month ago using some bagseed. I wanted to get a feel for growing before I decided to get some decent seeds. I have put these 2 plants through alot of stress making nubie mistakes like too much nutrients, over-watering, under-watering, crappy soil, burns, and high temps. These plants are still alive and doing good, or at least I hope they are. I'm still making mistakes and learning as I go. I never thought that this would be fun like a hobby, but growing is starting to grow on me....lol Anyway,
I was wondering if I should put these plants to flower now so I can get a feel for that stage? At this point Im not looking for max yield or anything, I just want to get a plant from seed to flower and the plant still be healthy.

Hi Friends,
I am new here been growing in soil for a long time. I am now going to try Hydro DWC is my choice of method, so will have a lot of questions. Really glad to have a site that will help me.

Good to be here fellow space travelers. I've been smoking for many years and have just started growing my own. I use a simple set up (budget style) but it supplies my needs. Best wishes to all. Hope to add just a little something to the forums along the way.

Thank you matth82003, you are the 1st friend of the new comers...

Erg, so frustrating, i cant post anything other than a reply

honestly id let them go for atleast another month man, they seem happy and they look good, but your new so take your time getting used to growing.
if you wait another month or so they will be that much bigger, stronger and if females produce nice buds.

hey everyone i'm new this site and also a first time grower. My friend started a plant and didn't like how it was looking so he gave it to me to take over.
It looks healthy BUTT!! it's just really STRETCHED out this is why im a lil worried lol and i think its flowering some how im so confused i dont know what to do???? I think its about 7-8 weeks old but i really don't knowits in soil in a pot. i did a little research i think he didn't leave it in vegetative stage long enough he said he would just put it outside in sunlight for 12 hours, and 12 hours of dark,
and he would water it only when the soil is fully dry. He said he just germinated the seed and put it in a pot he doesn't know what soil he used so i have no idea what is in the soil =/
if anyone could just give me some helpful tips that would be great thanks!


-One love, peace

Hello everybody new grower new user here greetings from ISRAEL

Another hello from Israel! enjoying all the reads, learning every day!

I have been thinking and talking of setting up a grow room and decided that now is the time.

Been reading up on the subject for some time and have finally taken the plunge.

Bought my grow tent, one 4 foot 8 tube T5 Flo for veg stage and will mix the fluorescents with two 400w Duel Spectrum hps, which I am going to buy after much consideration.

I was going to go with an all fluorescent set up (cheaper bills-electric) but after doing a lot of reading (that's how landed here) it seems that you can't beat the density/quantity of bud created the HPS or HID.

So I will be vegging with fluorescent and flowering with two 400w HPS + fluorescent combo.

This site has helped me a lot already so I'm going to join in and share my journey with you guys.

I've already started a video diary of the start up for the building of the tents, erecting lighting, germinating the seeds, it's all being documented.

I raise a toast, to a new voyage.

Hey whats up fam im new here, def trying to start growing indoors and have absolutely no idea where to start. I know i need flourescent bulbs and all that shit but ive read so many different things on how to grow and what to use and all that I just dont know what would give me the best dividends for me and i am not trying to sell alot but maybe enough for me to smoke and sell to a few people here and there just friends and family. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

It looks healthy

A light could help, no good on the shady porch. At this rate you will be lucky to harvest a number.
