Welcome New Members!

I am a beginner that has throwm a bunch of seeds in some potting soil & suprisingly i have a bucket with about 30 stems now,nearly 6in tall, a wk old now with there first leaves.......how do i go in and seperate these ladies without causing shock?
Or do i need to wait until they gro a bit larger?
 
I'd like the hear the answer to that one!

Please post the question in the Indoor Growing, or some other, forum.

Good luck,

JD
 
Hey all, lurk-prone newbie here. Been reading voraciously for a few months and collecting the things necessary to tackle my first grow. Oregonian, fibromyalgia and PTSD sufferer looking into getting my OMMP card because I've tried everything else for fibro and I'm left in constant, horrible pain with prescription bottles stacking up and side-effects coming out my ears. Braving up enough to actually post a hello, and hoping to learn a lot.
 
Hey everyone I just started my first grow in febuary im already into flowering started with 3 The Purps feminized seeds went straight to hydroponics didnt bother with soil there all showing first signs of flowering and looking really good!!! Just wondering if anyone has ever used general hydroponics series nutrients because so far I've found you have to add calmag no matter what they just dont seem to have the sufficient amount of magnesium does anyone else find this to be true?

Just spoon out sections of 3, this gives you a good chance at getting a female . Let the 3 grow together in a seperate pot and when ready for sexing chop them down to 1 female (hopefully). If you kill a couple during this transplanting so what?
 
Probably about 30, but you would never want to.

You should start off by suggesting what it is you would
like as an end result, and what you have to work with.

...but start the new thread in one of the forums that
fits what you want to do. (i.e. indoor? Then "Indoor Grows")

Good luck,

JD

I used it once for a very short period and didn't enjoy my results but never looked into solving them because i was suggested to switch to CANNA Coir A&B...my plants are solid now...and i mean no issues at all in veg then in flower i sometimes see a little fading on biggest oldest fan leaves to lighter green then yellow at end of flower, and some fading fan leaves closest to my main lights. I also use CANNA PK 13/14...haven't taken the plunge and shelled out the cash for their BOOST supplament but i hear it works wonders when used with the whole line of CANNA. I also use the CANNA Coir medium mixed with perilite about 80/20%
 
Sorry i didn't exactly help you, it could be pH. I just use the drops to test my water run-off after a good drench, sometimes i strain the run-off through a coffee filter to get better clarity, then throw a few drops in and compare color with the chart that comes with the drops. After a few months i got it pretty narrowed down to how much pH down i needed to add to my water depending on volume and concentration/variety of nutrients that were added.
 
Yea u right u can look for the super saver shipping is free with certain things i got most of my stuff there cost me around 4 to 500 for all the stuff i got and some stuff i went cheap starting from the bottom work my way up to the good stuff got to start somewhere and like i said before ebay has a company they deal with and they have the whole set up every thing comes with it for like 600 for the medium and for the large one 700 a deal i think u cant beat with a bat in my opinion wish i would of did.
 
no no replies are great no matter what i love hearing opinions and tips and facs every little bit is useful. i do keep a close eye on my ph i usually have it at around 5.8 then when i change the water at the end of the week its almost close to 7 so its not really going outta wack to fast and it seems to be rising thru the week which from what i understand its good on account of certain nutes being absorbed and different ph levels etc. so on and so forth however I had a magnesium deficiency around week 4 and fixed wit with cal mag then slowly stopped with the calmag and about 3 more weeks since i was done with the calmag it started showing signs of deficiency again so i put the cal mag to it again and new growth is beautiful and green again so to me...in my eyes the general hydroponics flora gro flora micro and flora bloom doesnt seem to have the adequate magnesium to support a grow now keep in mind this is my first grow maybe its just this strain maybe im just still learning heres some pics anyway lemme kno what u think

Howdy Ya'll, Been smoking since a little young punk growing up. Seems crazy but never even thought about cultivating my own dam plants since I started seeing how much I was spending putting money in other peoples pockets. Well after reading threads and forums and any thing else I could get online here the last week I'm convinced that this is what I want to do. So here's my question to whom ever can help, I have a space in my basement about 6' x 7' and about 5' tall, have about a $1000 to invest in a system or at the most get me well started with all that needs to be bought. As I've read here @ RIU, some people advise to start off small and learn as you go, but the way I'm thinking with that much money I'm investing and the dedication I will put forth why not start with a setup that I can use for years to come. It's just like I tell my friends when learning how to ride a motorcycle (Harley's of course!), they'll want to start off small but after a good couple of weeks of riding that small ass bike they're now wanting to get their hands on something bigger. You see where I'm coming from. I wouldn't want to buy something now that I will put to the side later for something better, I'd rather go for the gusto and take it from there.

1st let me tell you's what direction I think I want to head in, DWC is the direction I'm leaning to, Then I read about the Hempy Buckets, so now I'm all hung in the air. Any thoughts? Bigger Yields? Shortest timetable? Most work,least work?

Thanks Peep's!!!!
I think this is gonna work out!!!!!:clap:
 
be sure to water every other time with no food and pH the water or surrounding soil if possible. stop using nutrient a month prior to harvesting and begin the flushing process to remove any "Gro" taste. Happy Growing
 
DWC is fragile. It can produce GREAT yields if you know what you're doing. It can also leave you empty handed should something go wrong your first time through. I would suggest purchasing a tent, 4 x 6 ($200) a ducted 600w light w/digital ballast. ($250) Ducting with an inline fan. Small industrial with carbon filter usually goes for about 150. Pots, some kind of medium. and watch a few youtube videos on how to make a homemade DWC. make one. Then grow both together so you can at least end up with something, and really determine which will be better for you. Also, be sure to start with QUALITY SEEDS. I mean it. Don't skimp out and use some good bag seeds. It's well worth the investment. Do a lot of research before you begin, and happy growing!!!
