Some questions...

Im pretty new to growing and there are some things I'm curious about.
1. How many nodes are needed before you should start flowering?
2. How many oz can you get from a plant on average?
3. When is the earliest you can flower a plant?
4. Are nutes necessary and what are the benefits in the long run?
5. What are some recommended nutes?

Thanks!

Wow, its not very often that a noob makes such a well typed post. Its rather refreshing. I'm so tired of seeing posts that look like this --->
"help my plnat is dieing did i burn it the leafs r droping help!!!!"

Anyway...

1. I don't go by the number of nodes when I decide when to flower. I go by height (about 2 feet tall)... but if you really want a number, I'd say at least 7 nodes.

2. The average yield per plant is 1 ounce. Thats the typical goal of indoor growers anyway.

3. See #1.

4. Nutrients are necessary for all living organisms. The benefits are that they won't starve to death.

5. I use Miracle Grow. Some people are Miracle Grow haters because its strong and they often burn their plants with it. Thats why you shouldn't give Cannabis the dosage written on the box/bottle. I reduce the dosage to 1/2 strength.

You might even get up to 3oz if you grow it well.
