Hey everyone! I kinda jumped the gun and posted a thread before introducing myself first. My apologies! But anyways. I'm not a heavy smoker, in fact I've only smoke about 5 times this year. My lady friend is a daily smoker and I decided to partake a couple months ago, but I only smoke when we're together, which unfortunately isn't more than once a week due to distance, sometimes only 1-2 times a month. It's sorta our "thing" to smoke together now. She loves seeing me get a little high and relax. But anyways, even though I don't smoke that much, I am the one that usually finds her supply. I decided it might be easier, safer and cheaper in the long run if I just started growing a couple of plants, plus it would win me awesome brownie points!! So I just got my supplier to bring a bag of bagseed and figured I'd go from there with my first attempt. I've been reading around the forums for a couple of weeks and have found some really interesting information. The thing that surprised me was that I all of a sudden went from an attitude of, "it'll be kinda cool to be able to hook her up" to being pretty darn psyched and excited about growing. I can see this as a new hobby that I think I'm going to really like.
I've grown a lot of stuff outdoors over the years being a country boy in the south, but that was all fruits and veggies. This is the first time I've ever grown any "cookies" and my first attempt at growing anything indoors since 4th grade when we had to germinate a lima bean inside. I'd like to thank everyone for all the great information that has been put on the forums and I've already been greeted by a couple of members on the thread I started. I'm happy to be here, thanks RIU!

hi guys,i have just started a grow to see if it is possible to grow for very little money,up to now it has only cost me £20.00 for bathsic supplies,ie soil,pots and very cheap nutes,i started with a 600mm x 600mm x 1000mm cardboard box lined it with foil,made a lighting hood out of cardboard and lined it with tin and attached 4 x 20watt cfl bulbs inside the hood and ive attached a 5th 20watt cfl to the bottom of the box to get light to the lower part of the plants,i have cut out a hole at the bottom right hand corner of the box and inserted a 6inch fan running on a 15mins on 15mins of cycle,i also inserted a 3inch tube to the top left hand side of the box to act as an outtake (opposite side to the intake fan) i put 2 seeds strait into soil it was soil that is used for tomato plants £1.50 a bag and put them in my box under 18/6 lighting and they both surfaced and have kept growing and i must add the they are 5 weeks old now 12inch tall very bushy and very healthy plants,i am going to switch to 12/12 next with the same lights and see what happens,sorry forgot to add that the nutes are cheap tomato plant feed mixed at 2 x cap fulls to 7 liters water.thanks for taking the time to read and i know i am going to upset a lot of experienced growers with this and people are going tell me that im doing it all wrong but as i stated it is for fun to see what the end result ends up like,at the moment its like i have defied the laws of gravity because these babies look fantastic.(LOL)
- So my names Davy, and my dream,which is all I've been thinking about lately is to move to a legal state and legally grow medicinal cheeba. I'm not expecting to become the next instant ganj phenom, but I'm more than willing to put the time and hard work into this. Possibly with the company of my best friend also, making this even more exactly what I want out of life. I'm not into the subsequent work and sleep cycles society has our population trapped, I do however believe in the hard working indigenous roots of our species and believe that I can apply them here and best contribute to the world while remaining to give as few shits as possible and giving the government a taste of my bhole to be honest. I can't explain all the reasons for wanting to do this, but what I can say is that I'm going to regardless of the obscure path in front of me. I live in New York and in the middle of a small town so I've never been able to had any indoor growing experience, I need to learn somewhere so any hints instructions or walkthroughs, anything will be so helpful and appreciated. Also a first few questions, who knows what the best and easiest state would be to pursue this? The way I dream of it is building or finding a cabin or some sort of home in the mountains of Colorado with views for days and all that gnarly sweetstuff. Having a hemp farm, as well as medicinal also. I don't really know if I can obviously get everything I ask for but if somebody could straighten me out? I hope this isn't too long and I didn't lose all the stoners at "So my names Davy,"..

Hello, I am a newby and glad to be here. I am also looking forward to learning as much as I can here. I have multiple health issues that have forced me to retire. I have a ton of pain that I deal with so I applied for my medical card and got it. I can't wait to meet new people and chat. Hugs to all. Mary

Hi Everyone !
I'm new to the hobby of growing and have a question about PH. Just how important is it ? Today it has been exactly three weeks since I planted my seeds. Well, I had them in rockwool and germinated for the first two days. I built a small DWC box and I only use rain water in it as well as some Dyna-Grow 7-9-5. My CFL lights run on an 18/6 light cycle. My seeds are feminized auto flowering. Do I really need to be concerned about the PH level ?

Hello to the world cultivation. I'm Farley new but have many hours of research . I'm trying LED as a flower light and supplemental for vegging. Will two cfl pouting at the base of the plant be good enough to veg.? It's one plant it's a trial rub bfor I get into buying seeds online.
