Now I think I'm in over my head. I didn't go buy nice soil, I just dug some up from my back yard. I wasn't expecting anything really so I initially planted the seed in a ceramic mug (it was all I had laying around). I've since transferred it into a half gallon jug and it seems to be doing okay so far. It's only been about four days since it sprouted, and it's about 5cm tall. I've named it Alex (androgyny intended).
I guess my main question is at this stage of growth what sort of light timing is recommended? It's only been a few days but I've been doing 12/12 mostly.
I really only want to grow enough pot for personal use. Is there a way to keep the plant under 4' tall and still get smokable bud from it?
Also I live with my parents and I'm hiding it in my closet, is the smell going to be really strong?
I'll post some pics tomorrow. Please impart your knowledge unto me, o wise ones.


P.S. Good luck, CottonCandy!
*thank you. i am kinda in the same boat as you. had some seeds and seeing what happens. so right back at you. good luck /w plantee.

Talking Hello, and Merry Christmas.
I just became a member of this sight a few days ago. I like the info. I do have a question. I want to grow just enough for my wife and I in a box. Box being one of those plastic storage sheds you get at Lowes. I was thinking about the new T5 Hi Output florescent lights. You can get them with 4 tubes and I was thinking of 2 single tubes for the sides. I know there have already been threads about florescents, but I have not seen anything on these new lights. Anyone have any luck with these???

Cool Season's Greetings
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.

AdorablyN00bie

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.

Default Hi....
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...
