Hello to all of you. I am a now retired gardener, 30 + years of experience cut down in the prime of my sixth decade by a felony bust at the hands of some one time friends. Rather than lament my loss of abilities to grow and enjoy a good fatty on a regular basis, I will endeavor to become as politically active and guide and advise as many others as time will allow. The one positive side effect of being out of the loop is that for once in the past 30 plus years, I no longer need to fly under the radar or try to keep a low profile. I hope this will be enable me to help push for a country where we are not imprisoned for something that we should have the rights to pursue. May we one day live in a country where freedom is more than a four letter word.

flower first then u will see pistols about 2 weeks after. start flowering after 8 weeks or 14 inches
Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your problem. SAY WHAT??
If it takes you 8 weeks to get a MJ plant to 14" you have a problem, maybe several problems. If you have to start flowering at 14" you must not have much height to work with in your op.
So like I said, welcome to the forum, sorry about the problems you have. VV

Much sorrier to hear about your problem BG, your posts do show you have a lot to offer to us. Maybe we can make some lemonade out of it though. Let me explain. A little over a year ago, some of us made a commitment to watching the 'Newbie thread'. We had a place for new folks to introduce themselves, problem was none of the experienced growers ever went to the newbie thread, we asked people to introduce themselves and then pretty much ignored them. We had some goals in mind, 100,000 views and 400 pages. We reached the 400 pages yesterday and I think we may have helped a few people along the way, I find I do not have the time to keep up with the thread any longer, we recently past the Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiative in my state, Michigan, and we are really just getting patients started growing their own medicine, it is for sure the least expensive way for them to get it. And DirtBag showed my how important growing your own can be, it is so theraputic, if I didn't tell you, you would never know, old DB does this in a wheelchair.
If you followed all of this so far stay with me, you have the experience with growing that I do not have, I have the experience in this forum that you do not have. If you run into a question that you can't answer, and those will be few, I probably know who, in our forum, is likely to have an answer. Take over this thread, be warned, if you do, you will become famous in this forum, you will have fun doing it. Please kiss-ass

As many as you can afford. Garden Knowm wrote a book about growing with cfl's and we have a seperate sub forum for cfl growers, you would want to check in those threads. Welcome to riu. VV

Hey thanx alot I've been starting them in big pots to begin with thinking it would give the plants enough room to grow for a while, one more question, so I should start off in a small pot first right and work my way up?
Hey killer. Jorge explains the reasons for starting in small containors and moving to a larger size, this encourages good early root development. If you start reading at the beginning of almost any journal on here you will see this process taking place, and since you have done it without making the interime transplants you will be able to draw your own conclusions how well it works. My blues journal shows two tranplants, its in my signature at the bottom of this post. VV:blsmoke:

Holla, im in Halifax, nova scotia and i planted some seeds about 2 or 3 weeks ago and the harvest season is supposed to be in October. Are my plantlings fucked?
Welcome Mike, no your plants are not fucked.... yet, you will just get a smaller harvest than you would have gotten if you had started earlier unless you are growing them indoors. Plant when the farmers plant for maximum harvest. VV:twisted:bongsmilie

Just saying hi. I live here now, so if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.
Sorry, can't do that. Momma always taught us to lift it out of the way, and then put it back down. Since the girls outnumbered the boys........ be a sweetie lift the seaty, or risk a limb. lol Welcome. VV:hug::rolleyes:

hey guys. i made an account a while back hoping to frequent these forums (which looking through them now have probably the best material available to new growers), however this site somehow dissapeared out of my bookmarks.

I hope to be on here regularly :)

Bought lemon skunk seeds from a shop in glasgow
they were doing well at veg stage
1 died overnight when I changed light cycle after about a week
my 2nd one is about 4 weeks away from complete and the yellow spots appeared and the middle leaves are going all yellow should I feed the leaves?
