Hey. Damned newb here from Maine. We just legalized rec. weed so now I'm going to start a indoor grow to get my own shit! I'm psyched! Made a 4' by 5' by 7' wood frame covered by silver tarps got a 1200watt led and the rest of my shit for it coming in soon from amazon. Ordered some auto fem northern lights strain seeds. Should be in soon also. Can't wait to start. Been into gardens my whole life so it shouldn't be too hard to grow some bud. Any advice for this 1st time grower would be great! Looking forward to talking to you veterans for tips to increase my grow success and production. Peace!

Lots of light. They benefit from more than 12/12.....not recalling what is optimal,
but it might be 24/0 (Cannabis does not demand a night, as some plants do)

Good luck!
 
Sounds great got a big light there how many babies you planning on having in there, I started off with 20 bag seed, 9 rooted, potted all of them only have room for 2/3 so gave the rest to friends as seedlings. Will upload some pics to my grow thread later on this evening :)
 
Hello all, I am a restorative ecologist here to connect with new growers in the NW. We are brewing up fish protein hydrolysate and it is kinda the bomb for organic cannafarmers. I want to encourage everyone to look to the long term for soil health and get the right stuff as you are starting out. It really helps us all.

I wont blast you with links but look online for Carpe Carpum and please ask me any questions about fish protein and sustainable harvesting. Cheers.

Funny you talk about fish emulsion. I made my own by throwing a bunch of junk fish like perch and chubs in a sealed barrel and let ferment for 3 months. After a month or so the smell starts to go away. I add a bottle of molasses to speed up the decay process. Plants love the stuff!

Gonna plant 5 and see what makes it. If they all do I'll have a pretty thick grow.

Well done. Fish is the real deal for soil health IMO. Sounds like you made a messy digestion to me. That is a super good way to make compost booster. The thing you want to look out for is all those microbes eating up your Nitrogen. Next time add coffee grounds to get that pH down. Thumbs up for re-using the perch and chubs.

Thanks even the bones were mostly dissolved too . A few biggger ones I threw in the compost heap. These fish I use are invasive in this area so it's a good thing to thin them out. Like the coffe ground idea. I also make compost with fish layered in sawdust. Heats like a mother but when it's done it's the most beautiful black gold you can get!

Hi guys, you can call me Dirty! I have a tad of experience but im basically new to all this. I have enjoyed reading through the knowledgeable posts in this forum and cannot wait to contribute some stuff! Be on the look out for my questions, as my first real indoor grow is about to ramp up. I am sure I will have a few stumps that you fine folks can help with! Stay golden!

I am a new grower and experiencing some problems early on...I have 5 clones that are only a week and half old they have been potted for roughly 5 days, I am having issues with yellows spots??? I messed up by feeding them nutrients a couple times when they need to be fed water for first 2 weeks. But I'm having real issues with one of them I've attached a picture. If somebody could help me diagnose the problem would be much appreciated. IMG-20161118-WA0000.jpg

I would suggest getting it into a smaller pot like a 1 gallon for now, it is stressing out and trying to grow roots. Or you can start folar feeding it to see if it will bounce back some. I could see one shot of light nutrients but you did a few you say. I would repot, make sure the roots are good and white not rotting out, let it dry out completely like bone ass dry before watering it again or feeding it. It needs time and care is all. and closer to the light would not hurt, if it burns the back of your hand it will burn the plants.

So you would suggest re potting and basically starting again? Leave them a day or 2 and then feed em water for a week or so before moving onto nutrients?
