Haha.. thanks for the advice and wonderful tips but it still doesn't answer my question as to how much longer i should wait.
You're talking half greek, half english to me at the moment but i appreciate the suggestions.
This is my first grow and i'm only learning.
Can anyone tell me what i should do if i'm not trying to clone?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, since VV's post was too difficult, I'll give it a go. You know when to harvest based on your trichs. Get yourself a magnifier (50x or 100x) and check out your trichs. Follow this guide from the GrowFAQ

get a small hand held microscope its the only way to know how long they have.
we cant really guess because we can't see the color of your trichomes.
i would take a blind guess tho of 9 days 6 hours 42 minutes and 26 seconds more ought to be perfect.
thats just a blind guess tho since i dont know what color your trichomes are

My bad, guess it was a stoner moment, I meant that information for grower2008, must have been the Juicy Fruit, I aplogize for that one. No wonder you were confused. VV

First of all, Hello all, i'm new to these fourms, I am 19 and from Ireland and like 1000's before me I am sick of waiting in the rain and cold for an unreliable dealer who sells me oven dried hay! So I have turned to setting up a small indoor garden in which to grow the 7 feminised afghani kush seeds ive recently sent away for. First things first. I was wondering could you guys give me tips on setting up my indoor garden. I have 1m2 of closet space in a dark room. I was going to:

1) wash the walls/roof/floor with disinfectant
2) Cover the walls with alluminum foil
3) Place a large plastic tray on the floor for my pots to sit in
4) buy 7 small pots with holes on bottom and up side for drainage
5) Buy 7 2/4 gallon pots with same properties
6) I've not decided on a grow medium and was hoping you guys could help, I was thinking - perlite/vermiculite/peatmoss soilless mix, but im not sure what nutrients to add and when!

If you guys could give me any tips to get me on my way I'd really appreciate it, like HID'S etc... I'm not exactly rich, most of my money going on weed etc... so I am looking for a decent light source at a low price, can you get normal lights that cater specifically for the blue or red side of the spectrum or do i need to buy a Metal halide and a high preassure sodium lamp? I know that was a little long winded but im very excited! Thanks for your time all, Al

don't use foil, you'll get hotspots. try and use mylar if at all possible, or even the thermal security blankets. besides that, i don't know about soil growing. i would suggest a tub style dwc with net pots and hydroton. also, do you need all 7 plants right away, or would you be willing to grow like half and half so you could learn and then do it again with the knowledge you gained.
are you in ireland? if you are, then you'll prob have to order a light. i don't know if you want to order from the US, but HTG Supply has the cheapest lights on the net, which will help you b/c you'll prob be best off with a switchable mh/hps.

Welcome Al, listen to him, the aluminium foil is not a good idea. I would suggest reading this journal, he details everything your asking about. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/107586-mrhowardmarks-experienced-grower-journal.html VV

Hey, thanks for the welcome and thanks very much for the advice, The walls are matt white paint, so maybe they will do as they are? as for mylar, i heard and saw it in some tut vids i watched but im not sure what it is or where to get it. yes bud I'm living in Ireland where I was born and raised! Dublin to be exact! We do have grow shops here with lights etc... Yes I waas thinking myself that doing 3 then 4 in two sets and learning from the first one would be the best idea as its my first grow... and ive not got that much space to work with. I was hoping i could get a decent 250watt light to cover the whole grow, but i am willing to pay extra for 2 lights if it will make a huge difference, Cheers lads, aL

Okay, I'm looking at covering 3/4 plants at a time, Man I'm shitting it now... I never expected a grow to be easy, but now I'm afraid I'l fuck up the plants or somthing, it all seems so complex! Also I'm looking to find a place where people who enjoy weed can meet up and just get stoned for like a weekend, I'l go anywhere in the world, I'm just sick of all my friends taking 3 tokes of any decent weed I can get my hands on and getting sick... I'm by no means a 'professional' smoker but I'd love to do something like the hash cup where they went on that boat for 3 days and just got fucked while voting plants off... So I was thinking I could take some pictures of my space and maybe get some feedback on what the best option for me would be. Excuse my newbiness but may I ask what dwc stands for? Thanks all, aL

Hi all,

New here and stumbled upon this site by random google search. I love everything about the plant, the way it smokes, the way it makes me feel at ease. Don't consider myself a "pothead" and I smoke occasionally. Just wanted to drop in and say hey. :)

Good evening everyone,
The other day I was dubbed a Yuppie and I wasn't happy about it. I love to cook and I know I can apply the same passion to growing sweet delicious rok. I am still in the beginning stages of planning my moves for my first grow. If by chance you are reading this and have an overwhelming wealth of knowledge concerning growing in small quarters ,I would greatly appreciate a mentor.

Wow i think im a beginner pro all ready XD me and my bro are growing in a closet grow room and its like 2 feet by almost 5 feet and we have one plant we are looking after and 4 that are a few weeks old. We also planted about 14 more last night. When i planted them i put them in foam cups with two holes in the bottom of each one (small holes but big enough)And then after i got each seed planted i put each cup into a shoe box, they are nice and snug so they wont fall over and the shoe box was big enough to hold about 12 of them so when ever we need to feed them or move them we can move the box instead of about 14 difrent plants XD. The grow room walls have been washed untill we got tinfoil to start to tin the walls. We have two lights above the plants, one over the big plant we are looking after and another light over the vegging ones, but they are right next to eachother so they share the light

Hey welcome serb.
Start a journal, ask your questions there, you will find mentors, there are several of them here. Read some journals that sound like the kind of space your considering, tell them how great they are, and ask them to check out your journal. I gaurantee this will give you good results, especially if you send me a link, I will hound the experts if necessary. Haven't had to in a little over two years here, Welcome to Rollitup. VV
