Need Tips on First Grow

i would def go with the AF AK47 and the white dwarfs from buddha and def wouldnt go for the AF GWS u can check all three strains in my signature but their grown indoors! i use cotton make up cleaners put the seed between 2 of them and spray with alot of water then i put this in a plastic baggy with some water on the bottom but with only the bottom part of the cotton touching the water just so it doesnt dry out and so the seeds can have some air and not be completely under water most seeds germinate within 24hrs and with 3 days everyone that will sprout will have sprouted i never touch the seedling and try to use gravity to drop it in its pot! i would either plant in a pot or dig a hole and fill with good hot soil!! i would buy a good compost like fox farm ocean forest add some perlite add some high P bat guano and use this soil for lower 3/5 of growing place or pot. then i fill with low nute soil with 10% worm castings and a high N guano and place seed on this soil! in this way ur seedling will grow in low nute soil with enough N which is needed for its veg stage and then as it grows it finds the high nute soil with enough P and K to support ur flowering stage for the first couple of weeks!! then add some high P bat guano on top of soil and water or give teas or give mollases in general watch out u dont change ur soils ph or this can cause nute lock out and know that AF plant need very little feeding!! hope this gives u a good start

Thanks alot for the info!!!!!

lol for some reason all the noobs on here that dont know how to grow always seem to think grow big or go home. They'll go out and purchase all these fancy seeds from websites and spend more money on auto flowering and feminized seeds thinkin its easier, really its just a huge waste of money. for the first time grower all you need is a bag seed, so if you do screw up your grow, u didnt just blow 50 bucks on seeds.
Another thing is that everybody thinks plants need fertilizers to grow. they dont, Ive had plenty of crops that have doubled in yeild compared to friends with expensive strains and fertlizers, all his weed did was give me a headache, Alot of it is really in the curing part of it. that was for everybody in general who wants to grow big their first time.

Lol OK as for germination, take a container with a lid, cover the bottom with damp paper towl, put seeds on top, cover the seeds with another layer of damp paper towel, so its like a sandwich with seeds in the middle. then put the lid on, poke holes in it for air, and place in a dark, room temperature, place. spray down the paper towel everytime it starts to dry out, make sure not to soak the paper or you'll drown the seeds, just enough for moisten them, and in as little as a day the seeds can start to sprout.

I wouldnt really try to mess around with fertilzers this time, as this is your first grow, dont want to kill them, just get the growing experience down first. Also to keep in pots or not. Are you germinating then putting directly into soil outside? If so at least put them in small cups of soil, some miracle grow, some kind of decent top soil. try to make a greenhouse for them to when they are babies, they'll have a better chance of surviving, once their about 6-8 inches tall I like to put them into the ground, then let mother nature take over. hope that helps, peace

kiss-ass

well im almost over my first grow!! NO REGRET FOR BUYING QUALITY SEEDS U REAP WHAT U SOW!!! NO REGRET IN GIVING 30 BUCKS FOR GUANOS AND WORM CASTINGS!!!!!!!! NO REGRET FOR GIVING 30 BUCKS TO BUY COMPOST!! IF I HADNT GIVEN THIS SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY I WOULD HAVE NO WEED TO SMOKE!!!! so i think im a stupid noob for paying 50 bucks for seeds 30 for guanos and 30 for my compost because the 24grams dry off my worst plant the AFGWS werent worth it, the 40grams coming from AF White dwarfs which stink like a skunk are pffff bagweed and the 60g im expecting off my AF AK47 are a just a bad investment 2!!!! man why didnt i listen to a MENTOR like stoner??? i mean its my first grow and i have dank weed to smoke in two months from starting to grow but who cares i could have saved 50 bucks on the seeds and waited another two months to harvest an unknown bagseed!!! and then what a waste of money spending 30 whole bucks on nutes i mean its 30 not 1 or 2 30 entire bucks on nutes for what please tell me?? aaa yeah i only grew 6 dank plants that will yield me over 200grams dankalicious combined!!!! and off course cant mention the waste of money buying my compost as i should have gone to my yard and picked up some dirt for nothing!! who cares it has too much clay and no perlite IM ONLY GROWING BAGSEED !!!! ow yeah the magnificent bagseed if its sensimilia its a tranny and if its regular outdoor weed well its just AVERAGE who cares!!! well im a noob but i will bash on your statement as if u havent grown weed or smoked it once in your life!!! cause we are not hear to become the best growers on earth but get to grow our OWN high grade cannabis for our personal use and yes spend a few dollars that we will later on gain by not buying weed!! yeah i had probs yeah i could have done better BUT it was my first grow and my next grow will be 10 times better i already see great differences in my first plant compared to the plant i planted last!! thats the learning experience but after 2 months of learning i have a very good weed to compensate and keep me going!! harvest pics tonight in my journal guys!!! and if ur not broke give that extra $$$ cause the benefits will be reaped by you and you only!! listen to stoner and u will smoke weed in two years after u took the hard way to learn!!! cause today mr stoner we all have an ultimate tool and its called the I N T E R N E T yes infinite amount of information and knowledge with a simple click!!! its all there for anyone who wants to grasp it and reaches for it!! others have done it for you people so dont try to invent the wheel someone else has already done it JUST READ HOW!!! so all you new growers find the best info try to emulate what u learn and then start ur trial and error cause starting from the beginning is just plain stupid!!! ow yeah i still got seeds for another grow and a seed run so just another look of how 50 or even 100 bucks on seeds is the number 1 best investment after a good lamp!!!
