After being on here for a few weeks, I finally decided to get started. This past weekend, I got at least 100 seeds of some bag seed called "beaster". I know that a bunch of ppl say that beaster sucks, but my cousins and I think that the kind we have is pretty good, I started germinating a few of the seeds the other day, and a couple of them already have already broken through the shell a good way out!(keep in mind this is a big deal for me) I'm planning on growing them to be about 3/4's of a foot,and then putting on the 12/12 light cycle. Any one have any advice?

Oh, and has anyone ever heard of some bud called "Black and Blue"?
I smoked some and watched "Pineapple Express" and"Step Brothers" lmfao.
As they say "Weed makes everything better!"

Thanks guys,
ATW

amazing how the stoned mind can forget where its been. anyway, you want to shoot for 75 watts per square ft of growing area

Good practice I guess. 9"s tall, and going to put them in flowering stage??? That's 3/4 ft. tall, right? Without Humans placing limitations on the plants, what is the natural height of the plant? I'm brain-fucked on this one. Can somebody get my mind right?

There really isnt any limitations South Texas,as long as a plant is in the Veg. stage it will keep growing. There have been reports of Cannabis plants in the middle east that have grown up to 12 feet! Some ppl like to grow them short, some want to grow them to record sizes. Its all a matter of personal preferance. I hope you didnt get to brain-fucked on this .
Oh, and thanks desertrat for the help.

good luck on the grow, how many seeds are you going to be using in what sort of space? i started from clones for my first grow a month and a half ago and its amazing watching em grow. i was using T5's which were fine but i gotta say switching to an HPS has done wonders they've grown 2-3 inches in a week, they're at over a foot and a half and i'm worried about space in some cases.

what desert rat is completely correct though, give em love! i'm sure you'll have a good grow if thats the case

Well I'm going to be using the SoG method, So about 10 small plants in a couple square feet(in seperate pots). After they about 3/4 of a foot, there going straight into the 12/12 cycle. Does anyone know how long I should keep on the cycle? or will the plant tell me lol (metaphoricly speaking)

Thanks guys,
ATW
