Hello,
Any advice for a beginner? I have a corner of my garage to grow a couple, three or four plants. I would like to grow about a pound of bud in about four or five months. I understand there are variables, but that is my target amount. I would like to keep my electricity use down and that will probably affect the entire grow operation. I do not want to go the hydroponic route due to the complexity and more intense care needed. I want to do it right the first time.
First question is about lights. Not spectrum info, but wattage/lumen output and number of plants I will need to meet my need (I'll buy clones from a local collective)?
Thank you in advance.

Hello!
I am very close to finally starting my harvest and the anticpation is killing me, but before I start, I would like to ask a few questions to anyone out there that might be able to help me with the 2 strains I would like to try first. The first strain isSuper Silver Haze. One of the collectives I go to down here in SD has a good stock of SSH clones and they all look very healthy. I was curious to see if anyone has any actual hands on experience with this strain and what they thought of its grow process and if its recommended for a first timer? The second strain I would like to try (note, LIKE to try lol) would be some Sensi Star. Reason I chose this strain is because this is by far one of my top favs and it has been ages since I have seen any or even had any, and so with that I just thought screw it, i'll just harvest it myself! and same questions as above, If anyone has any experience growing this strain and what were the difficulties of growing this strain and is it recommended for a first timer? Thank you!!

I love this site
I just wanted to introduce myself and say – HEY!
I've been lurking on here for a few weeks and have to tell you guys I learned more here in that time than in 30+ years of partying. I'm a "I'll smoke whatever you've got" kinda guy and never really took the time to immerse myself into the subculture. Heck, I didn't even know what 4:20 was until a few years ago (even though that was the hour we used to "beam up" in college and watch Star Trek reruns).
We moved out of "the big city" a few years ago and now have to drive 4 hours to score. Now that the kids are out of the house, I started looking at various Internet resources for a small, personal use micro-grow set-up and stumbled upon you guys/gals. I have to tell you, this site is da bomb!

Welcome! You've got a lot of research to do and it'll all be worthwhile. When I found out about cloning, it blew my mind. I knew I'd be growing for the rest of my life. Good luck and I'll see you around the forum, Scrooge.

korteney, you are overwatering, sweets. we do tend to love our plants to a fault, especially us girls...nurturing is what we do. wait until you see your soil drying before you add more water. good luck. i'm at harvesting stage on my first grow ever...i couldn't be a more proud momma!!! (except I do feel kinda bad that I have to chop them down now after watching them come up from seeds)

Hey Guys
I'm new to this community. Actually joined today just for viewing some pictures, but this seems to be a good place for first time growers like me.
So I'll be starting a new thread to avoid problems with my ten babies.
Peace
