Welcome New Members!

Hi there!

First time grower. I am collecting bagseed to play with first. I am a medical user, but connections and prices are difficult in this state. I am originally from MN, though, and have grown tomato plants (and various kitchen herbs and lettuces) from seed, under small flourescents, in propagation kits. So, I though this might be a nice hobby during the winter months.

I can do amazing things with organic gardening. My plants tend to be huge, since I am a huge fan of the French Intensive gardening philosophy. Keep root systems small, by feeding organic matter regularly, so the plant can use all its energy for flowering (and fruiting, for tomatoes). I see warnings about burning the crop, but I think a well composted feed would prevent that.

Anyhow, thanks for having me.

hi elvis,get in your car,or get a bus drive to nimbin ,find some normal hippies,not some of the ripoff junkies who hang around,who give nimbin,and the people a name that is undeserved,at least it would be if the junkie scum would fuck off,and leave the good people to live the type of life they no doubt moved there for.
it is a really nice spot ,and the true people that live in nimbin grow some fucking pukka weed,all organic,i dont think hydro,and nimbin kind of go together,but they know how to grow fucking good dope,look in on at the coffee shop,and no doubt you will find some good folk who,may be able to point you in the right direction,and try and get some seeds to grow your own,we have the perfect climate to grow happy cabbage,but i would try nimbin ,before driving around cabramatta,or the cross looking to be ripped off.
i am in the west,so dope is three hundred for top buds,and normally less if you know the right people,it has been a long time sice i payed for weed,but from what i here sydney is not the cheapest of places to purchase the herb.
look up ozstoners on the net,and you will meet some of the nimbin crew on that site,and they know there stuff,good organic shit is growing all around that area,it is a matter of finding a friendly hippie,and not some junkie scumbag,i am sure you will be able to tell the differance.
it is cheaper to grow,no matter how much electricity you use,as from what i hear of pot prices in sydneyyou could buy a nice light,system,fans and still pay less than an ounze of primo bud.
also oz is the land of sunshine a plenty so grow some outside if you can,it will taste better,and no power bill.

New here just thought I'd say hello.
I'm new to growing just got myself a 600 watt HPS,
read lots of guides watched dvds etc, I'm gonna keep it simple for now.
will post pics as soon as i get up n running.

yo wats good. im heather and im 17 turning 18 next week. im gonna take a hand at growing some quality bud

After years of getting the run around and getting ripped off I thought it was about time to try and grow my own weed.

I have been looking at this site for the last few week and been doing a lot of reading and learning and thought it was time to join up and get some answers to all of the questions I have..

well my names Bigbud aka Tom and would just like to say HELLO to all...

Just what to say high!! And I think this site is the shit. I have already had some good questions answered and have answered some good questions. Happy smoking Im going back to tokkkkiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg

am a new grower. Just wondered if anybody would answer me. I've never done this (posting) before My plants have just started budding and I went to 12-12 about a week ago

uh, hey my names brie, i just made a profile here. just wanted to say hey!

Well sorry guys wish i hadnt been so eagers as before i accidently posted in the grow room my apollogiez. anyways was hopping i could meet some growers close to southern california near the L.A. area peace!

HI all I finally found my home page! looks like you have a good site here and ill check back aoap!

hi
my first time growing i dont want to get into chemiacals and lighting im growing in a closet it gets sun light for 3-4 hours a day its about a week old how logn does it take to bud out and wen will it b ready to harvest

chief, you need a light in there!

I joined up yesterday, Found your site while searching the indoor grow info. I'm a casual outdoor grower starting my first indoor crop in a closet. Put the clones in soil today, under a 400 watt HPS light. For ventilation, got a fart fan up top and a 10 in. fan bringing fresh in at the bottom. I figure miracle grow should work fine while in the veg. processes. Is anything I forgot or need that anyone here can think of, I take all the help I can get.
Looking forward to hang out here. Latter, hempster

Just joined today becuase im running out of weed. I was thinking maybe i would start my own inside garden. Im lit right now so this might not make sense to even me tommorow. ;D

Hello everyone,

I'm a first time grower and learning on the fly. My plants are in their fifth week of growth so I'm keeping an eye out for sex i.d. I read where at this time there should be some spike like growths on the 4th or 5th node and whether they grow close or together, or away from each other, determines their sex. The males spikes will cross and grow toward each other and the female "spikes" will grow apart. I just checked my plants and can clearly see these "spikes" but some are growing straight up, neither toward or away from one another, so what would that mean, if anything? How reliable of a visual clue to their sex, does anyone know? If it is, I only have one fem out of 8 plants...highly unlikely with my good growing conditions.

Hi everyone just thought i'd introduce myself, i'm 20 living in the uk and i'm fairly new to growing, i have tried growing before but without much success lol.

During my first grow i germinated my plant using the napkin method (i was trying to grow Misty and white widow) i had 2 of each and everything was going fine, both the widow and one of the misty were in good health until i went away for a week and trusted a friend to take care of my plants, when i got back they were all knocking on deaths door as they had been watered as i had asked but they had kept the curtains drawn thus the lack of light had destroyed them

My second attempt was going fine until a fight broke out in my house and a neighbour called the police, when they arrived i managed to stall them from going into my room giving me just enough time to stash my light, grow box, plant food and of course the plants. Luckily the window had been open for a while before they had arrived so the smell was very faint, when they left i went to get my plant out of hiding and the stem was snapped and leaves were missing lol so not very successful.

Anyways i've been setting up a grow room recently and hope to get the ball rolling as they say, and hope i can contribute in some way to the site and members, i'm finished rambling on now so thanks for taking time to read this and hope to chat soon c ya

Hi guys..

new to this site...also a first-time indoor grower. I got a 6 hps light setup, with charcoal exhaust mated to a 12"vortex... planning on bedding in soil and see where it takes me...

this site rocks! Lots of helpful info....also have as my homepage...

whats good everybody..

just joined the forum but I've been looking around for the last couple weeks. I'm glad i found this site before i started my planting. I'm a first time grower long time smoker =) Looking to learn a lot of useful facts!

Just posting to introduce myself here like the sign says. Been smoking a long time, got tired of the hassle of finding connections and risking jail every score in this nosy new world order. Decided to grow my own for a change. Nothing high yield, just enough for me and my girl to smoke and not bother anybody.

I saved seeds from bags I bought over the course of a year or so and started cracking at it. Totally ghetto. But it should be good enough.

First plant died when I stupidly put it up in the attic to hide it when family visited. It is winter and it got very cold up there. Got infested with bugs too. Ick. But when I was throwing it away, I noticed it had a LOT of root growth, so I was doing something right. It was about a foot tall.

Now I'm on the second one. She's at 23 inches tall now, prolific large leaf growth. Just popped pistils out a few days ago, so confirmed a girl. Figured I'll have some stupid questions soon, got on google and found this place. Well I'm off to read the FAQs and crap, take care all.

Hey hows it goin everybody? Just stoppin in to say whats up!!
Im definately not new to Mary but new to the site so.... I guess Ill kick my feet up n' make myself at home and get to know all of you better!!!
