how big is the closet? How many plants do you want to grow? How much money do you have to spend? Do you live with you PARENTS???


If your answer to the last question is YES. Throw the seeds outside your local library and go inside and read a book.

Several members are from Australia. AL B Fuct has a journal posted, Get A Harvest Every Two Weeks which you will find interesting. Many of the things in his journal apply to Australian climate. You will want to be able to control humidity levels and temps of course. Fortunately, since you are almost in your winter, it will be less of a problem until the end of the year so you will have some time to learn before having to deal with those issues. Welcome to our little group. VV:blsmoke:
Thanks VV.... :peace:

im using 1 gallon pots, with sterilized soil. and i do have a fan going all day long. what do spider mites look like, i dont think i have them but then again i was told that there are alot of them out at the moment up here so im not quite sure. or is there any kind of sickness that the plants get?


Dude, lol, you took so long to answer, when you first posted, I totally forgot what the hell you were talking about, sorry.

Anyways, I keep my lights 3-4 INCHES away from my plants...you should keep them as close as you can without burning your plants. Test the distance with your arm, if the light's too hot for you, then it's too hot for your plant. Which leads me to my other question...Do you have a fan going? And what size pots are your plants in? Watering everyday, even every 2-3 days sounds too often, but that's by comparison to MY watering schedule...if your soil is really drying out that fast, then I guess....Are you testing the soils moisture before you water? Most people can tell just by feeling with their finger, but if you're really unsure you can buy a moisture meter....

Spider mites...they're very tiny, so it's not like they look like spiders to your naked eye. Check the undersides of your leaves for tiny little black bugs, look CLOSELY. If you've had them for a while, you might even see tiny webs forming.

There are a lot of things that could go wrong with your plants...that's why there's an entire forum for Plant Problems. But if you have spidermites, you need to handle them NOW. Really, you should handle any problem as soon as you can, but spidermites are...bastards.

Howdy! Well I started a few weeks backs my 1st try with bagseed. Went horribly wrong. Now I think I have my technique down, trying with NL this time. Seems to be going well for only 3 days of germ. Came here to get the ultimate green thumb. Peace!

Closet is about 26"x36"x6'. Probably round 4 plants after sex is known. ~$200 to spend for light, fan, etc. and no, I dont live with parents.

There are some people that are very, very skilled at shoving plants into a very small area. One guy in here even grew two plants inside a computer tower. Myself. I need lots of room. I have 6-8 plants that grow in a 10'X10' room, with a nice sized closet to house all my Nuts and such things on a shelf. If i was to grow in that closet, I would start out with like 6 plants, and when I flowered them, when they showed Sex, I would keep the two best plants and kill the rest off. Plants really hit a growth spurt while flowering. But as I said, a lot of people in here could grow many plants in that closet.

ok well my plants died haha.. well i wasnt really laughing when i saw them dead... so i went to the club and bought 3 more.. i had to transplant one of them to a bigger pot. how would you recommend doing a transplant? i used starilized soil and all... any suggestions would def help? is it common for the plants to go into shock at first when you move them?

A Lot of people use SuperThrive when they transplant to help the plant handle the shock.

Ayo folks. Names Cody. I started growing ganj about a year and a half ago on the down low. After plenty of failed attempts. I came across a rather decent sized satchel of good seeds about a month and a half ago and out of boredom decided to germinate and plant them. I'm pickin' up a couple of HPS or MH lights within the next 2 weeks because this sunlight shit isn't cutting it.

Good luck on the next attempt.

WOA, your plants DIED? Did you infact have spider mites? If you did, you need to clean and sterilize your ENTIRE grow room before you grow in there again. You have to clean everything, otherwise you run the risk of your new plants being infested as well, and then it's just going to happen again...
