Im brand new to this forum but i dont understand why people post questions that are already answered a million times over if you just look around or search. do some reading before asking for help, if you cant find what your looking for then ask. Find a good grow guide and start taking as much info on growing as you can. just make sure its from a credible source, there's a lot of myths about marijuana growing out there and it can be hard to "weed" to through the bullshit.

you can flower anytime you want, but if you want to do it naturally without having to force flower, the plant will be triggered sometime next month. from there it just depends upon the strain as to how long it will be in flower. some take 7-8 weeks, others 3 months. flowering nutrients are a must in my opinion to optimize the flowers. a popular flowering nutrient that is hard to fuck up is fox farms, so you might want to look up their nutrient line. best of luck.



you seem upset. blaze one and relax.

grindin some herb as we speak, first bag of good ive had in awhile too. I havent seen a good bud in months, i hate the summer dry up that always seems to happen.

ok, that sounds better.

word thanks for the info. and as for researching i do alot of. but theres several different opinions out there as youve said. this sites legit tho and id rather just ask here than read garbage. and as for fox farm. whats the best time to use it. right when it flowers and how often

You don't know how many times I've wanted to make this thread.

your not new to outdoor growing your just new at growing period! Outdoor is very simple put it in soil water it when soil is almost not moist. Over watering kills under watering kills after about 2/3 months the potting soil will no longer have nutes in it and you'll have to supplement it with nutes. Get some high end nutes read the label and follow the label. once your at this stage you will want to feed (nutes) them once then water (no nutes) for three or four times then feed them again then water 3/4 times then feed etc. also with you being outdoors you will want to do some bug control. Get sticky pads and place them by your plants, get tenacious earth and make a barrier around them with it. Get some neem oil, spray it on them. I could go on but I think I gave you enough info to keep you busy and safe for a bit.

haha thanks man. well the soil i bought says feeds for "9" months. and i had already gone ahead and got some feed for it for later....just got everything in one shot.id rather not have to feed my plant anything... so i hope the soil will feed the whole time.

experience is the only way to fully understand something. good luck with what is most likely your first grow, and i like to hear that you're doing it outside. real medicine is made by the sun.
