Alright so here are two more just to get things going again. Both of these are very arguable so if you say one way or the other please say why and where you got your info from, even if its just experience.

1)You can't/shouldn't grow more than one plant per pot.

2)You shouldn't start your plant in a large pot.
I tried large pots and it didn't go well but I put that more on the soil drainage and inexperience than the pot size. Also I know that a lot of people say that you want the roots to fill the pot and then move up to a bigger pot but why (other than a lot of people say its better), they don't do that naturally.

Oh also just to go back to ph and household items I found today that 1/2 tsp of white distilled vinegar added to 60oz of water @ a ph of 7 will bring it down to a ph of 6. Just thought that was kind of interesting.

You are right, it doesn't work that way in nature. And outdoor growers are probably not transplanting twice to let the roots develop. The difference is in nature they would have three to six months of veggetative growth before the sun changes the light schedule and induces flowering. Water availability and the nutrients in the soil may not be ideal and a large root structure may be necessary. marijuana and Hemp can grow large root structures. Indoor Growers try to make this large root structure not necessary by supplying the plants with all they need so they can grow buds instead of roots. The plant you had in the big pot would have probably grown just fine, it would have just taken longer. 3-6 months longer. VV

Yeah I actually read that some where on here after I posted it, well they didn't say that it would take longer or how much longer but it was implied. I more so posted all this to see if people would get on here and debate their opinions but apparently that only happens on other peoples grow journals. But thanx for actually posting, I watch the visit number go up everyday but for some reason no one has anything to say?

Hi Grow it, I think you are smart. There are so many ways to do it all eh? We all have our own little tricks. Who is sure they are all right or wrong. What ever works for you I guess, as long as it produces the nice fine buds we all desire.

Thank you, I try to educate myself as best I can but I also know that the personal experience that everyone here has is just as good as any book that I could read. Hopefully my first grow will turn out well it seems to be on track.

here's one:

I've heard that when you start growing, the light cycle is to be 12/12...So for about a month, I was doing 12/12...then I heard that if you interupt the night cycle with 1 hour of lighting that you can change the sex of the plant to female...so I did that for about a month as well...then about 2/3 weeks ago I was told that the plants are to be on 20/4 lighting and NOT to interupt the night cycle...SO, now my plants are at 20/4 and they are growing a lot quicker then when the lighting was 12/12...

so, which is correct, lighting-wise? and can you really change the sex of the plant by interupting the night cycle with an hour of light?
