hey im new to this i have done lots of reading but not being the brightest bulb in the box not alot sticks. can sum 1 put it short and sweet please

easy way but grow to full potencial ?


From Seed

Germinate plant in fairly large pot with soil bought from garden centre ?

250 w light

vegitation period of no less than 9 weeks ?

onli water if the soil on the top is dry ?

flower after 9 / 10 weeks ?


can sum 1 tell me if im on the right lines?

And Other Tips and Pointers Will be Much appreciated.

Being that you're using a 250W light, I'd suggest you keep plant height under 2-2.5ft. Look into supercropping and LST. You want to train it to keep a low profile with several main tops. Do you know which strain you'll be growing?

yeah.. if you want the very basics to learn with you have the right idea...

i would cut your veg period back to about 4 weeks tho...

keep your light as close as you can without burning or bleaching your plant.. and make sure you have 18 or more hours of light during the veg period..

flowering should take about 9 weeks.. so thats about how long after you switch to 12/12 you should be harvesting...

get good soil that doesnt have time released nutes...

get some decent nutes... at minimum get a flower nute.. most of the time if the soil is of good quality sprouts can make it through a 4 week or so veg period without much nuteing..

but yea.. basically you are spot on for a very basic beginning grow.. if you have any questions, or want any more details feel free to ask.. also here is a link to a guide i am sort of building here and there that has a lot of info.. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/212352-all-new-growers-questions-tons.html

Thanks

erm well i cud grow it to about 4ft 5 ft ? how do i make it have several tops so i have more than 1 Crown bud ? i was thinkin if i cut off the top of the plant after about 2 weeks it should sprout into 2 main crown buds? is that right n if so how do i get more than 2 ? no i dont no what strain it is i just have bout 50 seeds off a mate i was going to buy sum but very expencive so im going to wait a few days. and help on super croping ? and lst ?

//

so for my veg period i cud keep it on 24hour light that will get it gowing then after 4 weeks exactli put it on 12/12 ?

Check out the sticky threads on these forums.IE:Topping. That will give you more than one main cola.Good luck.https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

&&

Flushing is this were for the last 2 weeks of flowing i dont use any nutes at all just water then when my plant is done hang the buds up in a warm dry space ?

I Cant see a Sticky that says topping ? Sorry im aBit Thick haha

Many questions can be answered by the GrowFAQ. It's a little early now to be deciding when to flower, it depends on how well your plant is doing at 4 weeks. Here's some threads on supercropping that came using search.

You can find video how-to's on Youtube as well.

thanks alot

Checking the weight of your pots is a pretty good way of knowing when to water.

Unless your soil has excessive drainage, top soil being dry doesn't indicate you should water. You could very likely over-water and even get root rot from watering too frequently. Basically, sticking to schedule is the best way. Know how much you water, and don't mess with it too much. Less is more. Root rot kills. Your plants might wilt a little from under watering(water them asap!), but very likely not die from it.

general hydroponics.. fox farms... advanced nutes... technaflora.. these are all great nutes to use... whether its a 2 or 3 part program you want they have it.. plus any supplement you could ask for...

you can super crop your plants to get many tops.. super cropping is easy and effective... you could also consider FIM'in your plant tops.. this is similar to topping, but without the stress since you are only removing a small amount of new growth instead of the entire top... you may also choose to do some LST'ing to it... all three are great methods to increase tops while keeping stress to a minimum..

can sum 1 tell me what nodes r LOL

Selecting the point for topping to get 4 main colas -

To get 4 main colas, let your seedling or cutting (clone) grow to about 5-6 nodes and pinch out (cut) the stem just above the 2nd true node.


i dont get it why 5 or 6 if ur just gna chop it off ?

and what r the nodes please?

very true.. if the top inch is dry then check the bottom of the pot through a drain hole.. if the bottom is dry also its probably a good indication to water..

to take all the guess work out of watering though get yourself a moisture meter...

you can also lift you pot when you know its dry to get an idea of the weight.. and then lift it again after you have watered it... this way you can tell the weight difference between the two.. then you just lift your pots daily or every other day to check their weight.. when they are back to about the same weight as they were prior to watering, or if you start seeing some drooping of the leaves, you know its time to water..

nodes = the spot where the branches grow out from the main stem.. seconday nodes are where the shoots on the new branches start coming out...

i want it to have 4 colas and not bush out

so you want a 4 cola tall plant??

yeh 4 colas and the grow room is about 7ft tall and there is 1 plant ? 250 w light


what if i cut it at the node like it says then when it grows 2 more branches cut them wil it sprout more or kill my Plant ?

it will stress it.. which could lead to a hermie.. if the genetics are not strong..

your best bet would be to top and then to fim...

sorry to be a pain but were can i get info on fin? and by top u mean cut at the node ?
