Hello from South Louisiana. I'm here basically researching Medicinal benefits of Cannabis. Glad to be here and it looks like i have a lot of reading to do.
 
Hi, I would like some opinions on using hydroponics versus other systems. What I had in mind is using something like this here: http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=713 . I know this is an expensive way to start but do you think I would be able to produce 4-8 oz per plant using this system? Is there anything else I would need besides the clones to start this? Would you have a rough idea of an electric bill with just this system? Would I be able to harvest within 3 months? I would like to start with a good strain with high yield potential that can be done start to finish in 3 months. Your thoughts and ideas are very much appreciated.
 
Hi everyone

I'm a brand new grower and haven't even attempted anything like this before. I'm having slight trouble with my 2 wk old ladies. I'm using a 180w PRAKASA 7 spectrum LED lamp, 18/6 in a DR60, passive venting and 6" circulation fan. Temp is normally between 25 - 26 degrees c. My light was 12" away but seedlings stretched so re potted and buried stem (as per another thread on here) and lowered my lamp to around 6" away. They seemed happy for a few days but now have yellow bottom leaves. Some of which are starting to go crispy. I've searched the forum quite a bit for an answer but can only think that I've left the light too close to the seedlings. I've now moved it to around 10" to see if this helps. Could it be anything else?? Will I need to cut off the soon to be dead leaves? The plants seem to be growing new leaves no problem and although their tiny, are nice and green.

Their in 3" peat pots with Biobizz All Mix, no neuts as yet. I water with Britta filtered tap water once pots are dry and soil is dry 2-3" down checked with fingertip, around once a day.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. If I'm posting this in the wrong please, please advise.... new to forums too!!

This site is great,all the questions I have are already answered.Looking to get ahead of the curve when this state goes legal with medical M. My biggest question is still what LED light pattern is best.

Hello Everybody:


We joined RIU to learn what is new in the world of growing pot as our background may be slightly antiquated, thus the need for current information before creating our modern indoor garden.

Don’t listen to Dr. Jackass as we have a solid background and will be producing some nice kick-ass pot in a few months, just sit back and watch us shine like brilliant beacons of success, you may just learn a thing or two.

Hello Everyone! First post here was very apprehensive but if people were getting knocked off from using this site would anyone still be on it? Anyways I'm currently on my first grow and all seems to be ok except my lower leafs are dying! It is a Lemon Alien from Bodhi seeds. 15 days from seed. I have had running 12/12 from beginning as I am just trying to get a good quality med's even if it's not a lot. Is it showing at all if male or female? think it may be a little too soon. 2013-12-05_17-31-11_467.jpg2013-12-05_17-32-26_588.jpg2013-12-05_17-33-09_233.jpg2013-12-05_17-33-20_668.jpg
