Before I get to the boring (and vague) stuff, I just wanted to say that I've been lurking here for a few weeks, ever since my girl got a "free bag of schwag" with a glass piece she bought in Manhattan.
Of course it had seeds, so as people who enjoys growing plants in our apartment(we have a LOT), we decided to germinate them and see what happens. In the time I've spent here to educate myself, I've learned a lot, and felt that it was only right to join, and maybe contribute if I can.
If I had a grow journal, it would be titled, 'Fast and Loose - what happens when you do everything on instinct' ...I think that sums up my grow style.
Still, things are looking good.
I will eventually post pictures.
It's been a little over a week now, and I have 3 plants 6" plants. They all seem to be doing well, but in different ways. I can't say that I've done anything special, other than having experience with other horticultural efforts in the past, so i have no good tips to offer, and no clue if these babies will die in a month -I'll do my best though.
I've germinated seeds, and planted seeds, but as far as the tech stuff, I'm not paying much attention. no worries, you're not gonna get a frantic thread from me asking what the hell I did wrong.
My grow set-up? Windows and sun.
I have a top floor railroad apartment that gets sun all day, and that's all I've been using as far as lighting goes. Nothing special that I know about the soil except that it has worked extremely well with all the other plants we've grown (will post pictures once I'm comfortable)
We always have a bottles of water that sit overnight, to water all of our other plants, so I think I'm doing ok there. We don't have hard water, but I know nothing about the ph of it.
Actually, I know nothing at all, but I'm gonna figure it out one way or another!
As of now, I'm growing in my windows, but know that this can't continue as they get larger. Hopefully I'll learn some tips on how to make the transition to a more "secure" location in my place.
As for now, it's just nice to watch them grow -almost over night- into what I believe are very pretty plants.
If I get anything "usable" out of them, it'll be a bonus. I have an excellent hook up with excellent shit, so this grow is more of a hobby right now.
If I have any information or insight, I'll share it, but mainly I'll be reading and educating myself.
I'm all about learning on my own, and finding there's no better way then trial and error -unless your smoke depends on a quality grow the first time out.
Anyway, just wanted to show myself, but doubt I'll be a big part of the community -knowledge-wise anyway.
Sorry if this was a long and rambling first post, but like I said, I have a good hook-up
...Sooooo, we'll see what happens. Thanks for everything so far. This site has been a valuable learning tool, and I hope I can get the most from it.

feminized seeds doesn't guarentee a female plant. Feminized seeds means they came from a female plant that was forced to go hermie and pollenate itself. Meaning your seeds carry the hermie trait. Feminized seeds can turn out females, males, or hermies.hey im new in this beautiful community and im currently growing 6 plants out doors , (2 sour diesel ) (2- hindu kush ) and (2- white widow) . and they are all feminized so no worries. they are about 4 weeks into it and are lookin great the area is very moist and is on a slight slope so i hardly have to water (all i have to do is feed my girls and im good )
oh and this is my first grow also !
peace+respect=No Worries
Not to rain on your parade or anything, I'd just hate for you to not pay close attention because you think you have nothing to worry about. It'd suck if you got a bunch of females, but one went hermie and you didn't notice and it pollenated your crop....

Droping in to say hi. I'm new to this site but not new to growing. i have been growing for about 10 years now but i took a little break after the whole OG fiasco but now i am back looking for a new home. i have been kinda just trolling around other sites looking for a good one and so far this one seem to be very informative so i'll give it a shot.

Hey guys I just signed up for this forum today. I started my first plants on July 3rd and have them setup in a self watering hydroponic system.
I have three plants under two 40watt flourescents I think they are about 3000 lumens each if I read correctly. I will have to double check. The plants are in their own seperate pots filled with perlite and each pot has a built in water reservoir in the bottom of them. The pots sit in a giant tub-like pan and I have a bucket that pumps water into the tub and fills the reservoir of each pot twice a day for a few minutes and then the water drains back into the bucket.
I just added a few drops of nutrients starting today which is a very very weak strength to start and I plan on adding it very slowly as time goes on. The plants seem to be doing great and look nice and green. the first two are ahead by a day or two because I planted the last germinated seed a day later cuz it took longer for some reason.
I'm working with a budget here so I may be trying to grow the entire plant with flourescents unless I can afford a better light for flowering. Let's hope they're all females and give me some dank bud! These are bag seeds by the way...here is a shot of the first plant. The second plant looks identical to that and the third is still in the middle of developing its first leaf set. This is only three days of growing and imo it went pretty fast!! Im excited and glad to be on the forum! Thanks for lookin!

Greetings from the east coast and many, many thanks for all of the valuable information I've already gotten here. What an amazing site this is.
I have not even started, just decided that I'm going to do an indoor grow room. At first, I figured I'd use a fairly large walk-in closet in my master bathroom, but then once I realized that I'd need to run ventilation hoses and fans and all that, I decided, the heck with it: I'll use the whole damned bathroom. It's a good sized bathroom, and I can live with having just one. My biggest problems anticipated so far? What about the kids!!!?? Since my youngest destroyed my makeup last week, I thought, that's perfect. Mommy's going to put a lock on her big bathroom, since she's already said: no more kids in my bathroom! Plus, the bathroom's got an exhaust fan, a/c vent, and way more room than the closet.
I have a close friend who grows, but she's in another state and won't even discuss this with me on the phone. I've seen her rooms and it was always very impressive. The only other experience I have is from years and years ago, with my ex husband, and that was hardly a dedicated grow, more like tossing seeds from stuff we liked into buckets and playing around.
So that's all I've got so far. I'm still trying to learn a lot, because I do not want to screw this up. I've been reading a lot here about the lights, fans, carbon, nutrients, etc. If I keep up all the studying, however, I'm concerned I'll never get around to actually doing it. So I'm giving myself one more week, then I'm taking the plunge.
Thanks so much for all the information. Wishing all you well and hoping your thumbs just keep getting greener and greener.

Robert Schuller, the man that was responsible for building the Crystal Cathederal in Orange County California once said he could increase your chances of success by 50% with one statement. Don't wait until you are ready to get started. Good advice.
Welcome to the forum. Start a journal, ask your questions there and send a link, we will help you. Be sure and check our ladies forum as well. VV
Hi all, My god this growing sounds more complex than i was expecting. have just started a few seeds. They're just about a foot tall. Will have lots of Q's in the future. Have no idea about the light/dark ratio business. Thought the whole thing would be a bit more straight forward. Anyway have to grow cos gettin your hands on smokes in this country is as difficult as catching a damned leprechaun. No good - whats happening to our world? Why have our security forces suddenly started doing their job so good?? Is it the same everywhere?? Just can't afford to be flying back and forth to Amsterdam just to have a good toke! Am very frustrated

Hey all, greetings from England! I'm new to the game but have been smoking for 6 yrs now. I have asked 1 question and got a very quick answer 
This is truly an amazing site, the information available here is massive.
I have 18 plants that were given to me from a mate, he jus had to many. I have lots of different species by the looks of it and will no doubt be using this site very often!
To be honest I have really been gripped by the whole growing scene, it really is fascinating and i'm hoping the results will be worth there while. I have them growing in pots in garden centre compost in my bedroom which is allways hot (next to the window) they are watered whenever the pots seem to dry and they have adequate drainage facilities. I am also using miracle grow! (hey ya gotta start somewhere! :0)
I look forward to seeing this site all over as it is so massive, will take me a while!
Thats me, happy growing to all!

Ok so hi im kinda new to this, but i got a few of my own plants myself. About 20 to be exact. it kinda happened over night, all the sudden i just wanted to grow weed. so i got some seeds,i did the whole wet paper towel thing and wa-la. i got fucking plants. i got 2-65watt green plant light bulbs on them for now, there exactly 28 days old. i used Better Gardens top soil it said it last up th 9 months on nutrients. but it looked good so i go it. i have them in as many as 3 in 20 oz. cups the white inside. but i had my problems HEAT is the worst and they get real leggy and weak but i fixed that and built a bigger enclosement fot them. now keep in mind all this is being kept in a everyday room in the closet with no doors ok so bear with me. But other that i have a humidity and temp. on them at all times and i fan sucking the air and one blowing on them, u'll see what i mean in the pic!
IF YOU SEE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO IMPROVE THEM LET ME KNOW.
and yes i know there are gunna taller but not wider, but that's all the space i got.

what u should of done a while back was to put tha light a lil closer to the plants because all ur plants are doin are getting tall and small. with the light closer u can have more grow room for the shoots when they come out.
