Chuck's Newb Help <--- An Educated Newb!

Thanks, just for your information, its in its 29th day and it has just been sat on my windowsill since birth.

I have read up on all the lights and stuff but in my current financial state (im 18 gimme a break) anything like that is out of the question. Its more of a little experiment for me. Also the light now is about 12/12 (English winter approaching) and it has been like this since seedling. I cant see it turning into anything smokeable but its still a nice little plant to grow.

Thanks for all the help, its really good what your doing.

??? hasn't finished growing yet...
got atleast 2 more weeks to go..... and from what I've read
you get like another 20% in growth... I'm just lookin for some nice smoke

it's the next go around that I'll be lookin for more of the bud... otherwise I woulda grown these ones bigger....

This looks like the start of budding to me? (1st photo)

But is that some balls? (2nd photo)

This is my first grow and so far its going quite successfully. except one thing. I dont know if i should be worrying about it or not. I noticed that the newer bigger leaves are all starting to have a dry looking texture. I know its not under watered and i know its not too hot. the other thing is some of the lower leaves (everything but the top couple) are a nice bright green towards the edges (edges of each individual leaf) but are a really dark green towards the veins.

btw im growing in FFOF under CFLs.

any input?

how do you answer a newb who is speaking ghetto ebonics with a straight face? I give you guys kudos for not laughing your asses off. I couldn't do it.

Excuse me stewardess, I speak jive!

tell me about it.. do they teach that shit in school now or something? its like kids can hardly speak coherently anymore


"das wusup bra, we be down ballin' with my homes, smokin dubs and chillin beat boy styl"

lol

Its looking like i have a case of minor nute burn and too high of ph causing zinc deficiency

Thanks chuck. I have been informed that it is a hermie, which for me isn't actually that bad as I might have a tiny bit of low quality shit to smoke but also some seeds to plant as well.

Thanks for all your help

cite your reference big mouth.. and who the fuck is talking about smoking males? you can make hash shitbag,, no matter how neglible the THC is.

hahahah and smoke a ounce of hash a day im sure u will get a bit stoned, or u can save time and throw he males in the bin, it really aint worth it , u moron!!!!! ur chattin loads of crap!!!! u have been for some time!!!!!

Hash has been referenced a few times ... So, I gotta ask, can you provide me a crash course or point me in the right direction to find one? All I know about it is... that I want to try producing some. I've got plants going now that are doing well. I'm a few days in to flowering and was thinking 'what a waste' to have to kill off any males that may pop up and saw where you said that you can use male plants to make hash. Sounds like a damn fine idea!

Once a hermie always a hermie.. hermie seeds will have a very high chance of producing hermie plants.

I prefer BHO myself but bubblehash is good if you dont mind putting out a good buck to buy the bags.

here is a link for BHO

I use 3/4" copper piping instead of the stainless that hes got. a four foot length will hold a tonn of shake in it...

make sure to make it outside and dont smoke or anything dumb

good luck

That's amazing! Thank you. I had no idea you could do that. You've got my mind very excited that there's a new project on the way. I do have to ask... What bags are you talking about in reference to Bubblehash?

EDIT... Found them... Yeah, they are expensive! Won't be going that route anytime soon.

Thanks again for the help.

No problem

just remember

NO SMOKING

and also, BHO, if done right, is the purest form of THC known to the toking society

when you on about making hash out of males do you mean your using females too and just beefing up the hash ie adding weight?

with hash the more foliage the better. You end up discarding the plant material in the end anyhow, so i use everything. There is less thc in males but there is still some. take it out and and get rid of the foliage,,, no sense in throwing out THC

You don't know shit about weed, growing, and hash making.

almost 1000 posts and NO rep to be seen. You must be very intelligent!! HAHAHAHA

And to all the folks on here....am I the only one who can say "blind leading the blind"???? I am a well read newb as well, with 7 grows under my belt and a few problems I have overcome, but I DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE to offer the advice this Chuck douche is spouting.......nor does he....listen to some folks who have been here a while and know there shit, and aren't just giving you book answers, rather than their own experiences. PLEAS I IMPLORE YOU.....read books written by people with EXPERIENCE and not some guy who wants to feed his ego...K???
And, by the way, Arjan Roskum (who we all know has at least a degree of experience) has stated that 24 hours of light deprives the plant of rest it needs to become the healthiest it can, and he also says 48 hours of dark before switching to 12/12 is REQUIRED (his word, not mine) for the best fruit production and faster fruit set.....this is my argument......nature set the plant up to function with light and dark throughout it's life......we are mimicing nature.....why waste the power to run 24/0 when 18/6 works fine...and better from my EXPERIENCE.
Thanks Chuck for trying to help, and rep to you for your intentionsd, but dude.....seriously.....how cool do you need to be???
