Hi! My first plant went very well, except I didn't give her enough light. She didn't vegitate much (strong, but sparse) and the flowers, while potent, were smallish. She only got about 3500 lumens of light (24 hr for couple months, 12 on 12 off after that). Everything I looked up says it's...

Hey guys! I'm using a 65W (300W equiv) CFL full spectrum bulb right now, with a reflector. The low wattage and heat is perfect for my setting and needs. I simply cannot support a setup with metal halide or mercury vapor lamps and such. I don't have enough space to do it both safely and...

Yeah dude, don't give up. I'm on my second try myself. The first one froze to death in my attic and then got infested with some kind of winged ant-like insect. It was disgusting and I was discouraged, but don't give up! You just keep trying. Each try you get better, you learn from screwing...

I'm pretty new too, but off-hand right away I'd say use different soil and use a different planter. Go to your local Menard's or whatever store you like, get some potting soil or some Miracle Gro potters mix (there's mixed reports about the latter, I'm having fairly good luck). Instead of a...

pics of my ghetto grow setup, as promised As you can see, for me to call it anything less than a ghetto setup would be ridiculous. ;) I am shocked and amazed it's gotten this big. And thank you Chronic_Productionz for your offer, I'll hopefully be picking your brain. If Clarita here buds...

Thanks for all the advice, guys! I think I missed the window on the 18/6 thing. I did my "vegetation" at 24hr light, and then bumped straight down to 12/12 because I hadn't learned any better. Since it's already sprouting sex organs, I worry about going backward to 18/6 and then forward to...

hi :) When my plant was that height, the stem was very thin just as you say. But now, at 23 inches, it's much thicker. And it's sprouted a LOT more leaves. I wouldn't worry unless it starts to lean or wilt.

I also am using miracle gro soil for my newbie setup. The brown you're talking about, if it's the brown I also notice, is normal for that soil. There's actually not a whole lot of dirt in miracle gro soil. There's plant foodz and mulch and junk, that's what shows brown.

Stuck with 12/12 the whole time, but now that I've read over some other folks' setups and seen how much more potent their lighting rigs are, I'm tempted to do a longer day to make up for my relatively low wattage light. But I'm not gonna change anything just yet I don't think. Though I am...

I'm really putting that whole theory to test, about marijuana being a prolific weed that will grow in spite of you. Just gonna share the story so far, maybe encourage other newbies that might get intimidated by the shopping list and science behind truly stellar homegrown. I recently moved to...

Just posting to introduce myself here like the sign says. Been smoking a long time, got tired of the hassle of finding connections and risking jail every score in this nosy new world order. Decided to grow my own for a change. Nothing high yield, just enough for me and my girl to smoke and...
