hi thought id introduce myself, i am an newbie to the world of growing. My setup is a 250w energy saving(cfl) vegging bulb and a 600w cool tube sodium(for flowering),carbon filter and am going to do deep water grow. I have popped some barneys laughing buddha seeds and they have sprouted. Hope im doing it right. ill let u know how i get on. Im just a lil concerned about the temp of my veggin room. i have sproutlings in a propagator and have been spraying with just water but the temp of my room is getting into the 90s. I have a fan on in there but the temp does not seem to be going down any. Is my bulb too high or as long as i keep propagator misted it should be ok. i have on 18/6 cycle. Any advice would be appreciated
 
Just wondering if you ever laugh when you hear folks from Maine say they have the best LOBSTERS!!!! We both know the best lobsters come from Nova Scotia eh?? Pass me a "Brador!" By way of introduction I am a senior citizen (dont be a hater:hug:) and a hobbist re: indoor "gardening"! I have some GroDan cubes poppin' and 500w of metal halide, mad outdoor ordinary gardening skills......you should see my roses. Just bag seeds from a friend of a friend in our bridge club. My biggest seedlings, 14 in all (unknown genetics, unknown everything) look real good. I have 50 pages (a conservative guess) of notes from canna sites and you tube. My baby brother (he's only 59) is a carpenter and has the 8' x 8' space all done. He has a colleague that is a tin knocker who has already drawn up the ventilation system complete with a DIY carbon exhaust filter into the attic. Not much invested a little lumber some panda plastic and free labor from baby brother. Got the light at a garage sale from a widow whose husband had a salt water aquarium. It's quite nice, ventilated and bright as a tanning bed. Two 250s and electronic ballast. The plans are to grow maybe 4 pots. For all I know I'll get ALL MALE plants. THAT would contain vacuum so to speak. I'll mostly lurk here and I must confess I will STEAL all the useful knowledge I can get my pencil on. I'm rambling. Old ladies do that. In my case "OG" stands for Old Granny and not Ocean Grown...........just sayin! Thank you for all the hard work I know you all put into this site ...

Do you have a window in your room? I would recommend one of those 100.00 window a/c's you can buy at Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowes. Hell, maybe you don't even need a window for it? It is however a great buy.

i dont have a window in the room as it is in my built in wardrobe. i have a large 8 inch fan in there but the ventilation is in the bottom part of the room where the carbon filter is, i cant believe how much heat this bulb is giving off. i just been spraying water in propagator every 2 hrs or so but i am out tonight so cant do that. now i tested my extraction and flowering light out the other day(600w) and the temp was in the 70s should i move em there now or just carry on as i am doing. the water in propagator is getting dry after 2 hrs but the root riots seem to be still moist, sorry to be a pain just painicing a bit and dont wanna kill ma girls
 
hey all! so i just threw some seeds in an herb planter and now i've got some little plants! sooo......what now? i don't want to get into anything elaborate, doing this "natural" indoors in wny. right now plenty of natural light and humidity and air flow. would very much like to know what is the best food/fertilizer and pest control for indoor plants.

Pest control shouldn't be too big of an issue indoors. I think the pests to look out for are spider mites which will lay eggs like a mofo and leave little spots where they've fed off the leaves. And then there is also bacteria and mold that could happen if the humidity is too high or too low and if the plant is overwatered consistantly. As far as food and fertz I'm a noob so I can't tell you what the best is. I grabbed some Fox Farm products because I've heard they are the best for beginners since they also have a chart on when to feed/flush/etc.

Do you plan on relying on the sun indoors or do you have a set up in the works as far as lights, ventilation, and what not?

I would put them into some 6in Jiffy Pots - being they are the easiest to handle/transplant.
As far as Nutes go, i would go with Foxfarm - They have an excellent feeding schedule that is almost impossible to mess up.
And pest control, I always use Neem Oil (you cant use it during flowering tho).

Hope this helps :weed:
 
Hey everyone. I'm new to the site and new to growing. I'm hoping to find a lot of useful tips here. For my first grow I'll be using a phototron 3000sx grow box, but have no idea where to start. I found the box in the basement of the house I moved into and it has no instructions. Any tips to get me started? Also can the seeds from a regular plant turn out more potent than the plant it came from if grown right?

I've got ferro a and ferro b to feed them that's what the bloke at the shop gave me it says put 30 Mls of each into a water Bosch and water when needed does that sound right to you. As for the light I couldn't tell you what it is again its what the bloke in the shop gave me I've still got the box so I will check it to see what sort it is.
 
This is my first post as I only signed up 5 minutes ago. By the look of this forum, I hope to stay for a while. :)

When it comes to growing Marijuana, I have hardly any knowledge at all. I smoke, daily but I've never grown myself. That is what I want to do though. Anybody sort me out with some tips? I live in the UK. I want to grow Marijuana in my garden but I have no idea where to start or what seeds to use. I have no clue about germination. I just need to know when I can start, what seeds to use (Can I use White Widow, OG Kush, K.O. or Northern Lights seeds for growing out-doors in England?). I would appreciate it if somebody told me the best seeds to use, when to start and how long I'll be growing for. I need to know pretty much everything, sorry if this is an un-organized post but it should give ya'll the idea of what I want?
Many thanks, FrenchInhaler

Hey guys and gals. new here and to growing. Been accumulating info from this site since ii started smoking but now i thought it was a good time to join your community. Ive had 2 successful grows so far and right now im 3 weeks into flowering my 3 sfv og kush plants along with 10 outdoor plants of unknown bag seeds. Im going to start building a grow room soon and get on a cycle were i can crop out 4 plants per month. Ill make a thread on that build when i start building. I also have some questions about my clones that are currently in an aero cloner right now, so expect to see that thread soon too. Anywho just wanted to say hi!
