I've been checking you guys out for a few weeks. Learned alot from you. I'm a first time grower. Seem to be having pretty good luck so far. I knew very little when first started. I ordered 12 purp seeds from BCBudDepot. I later heard bad things about them and I've heard some good. Out of the 12 seeds 7 germed and 4 were healthy females that are now 4 weeks into flowering. The buds are starting to stack up real nice. I ordered 10 Blueberry & AK47 from Joey Weed and all 10 germed and are doing nice they are 7 weeks old and it's looking like all 10 are girls!!! I also got some sugar blossoms from Joey Weed. I soaked 5 of them the other day and all 5 are up and running. I'm using a large bedroom in a vacant mobile home. got 3 400w/ mhs. using large closet for veg and a large bathroom for seedlings and clones. So far I cloned 12 purps and all made it fine and now in flowering along with their moms. I've not had any problems to speak of. Hopefully I won't but if I do I'll let you know.:joint:

your welcome, if you need some help getting started just holla and i'll give you the rundown.


i would really like to see how that blueberry comes out(definitely one of my favorites). you seem to have a lot of different strains going at once, about how tall are your purp plants and how much longer until u harvest them?:blsmoke:

My 4 purps in flowering are all about the same size, the tallest being 46 inches as of this morning. The explosive growth that starts when you go 12/12 has pretty much ended. They have been in flowering 3 weeks and 4 days. I put them in flowering when they were about 21 inches and I was pretty sure of the sex. Learning to sex them has been challenging. My blueberries are coming along real good too. They sprouted 5 1/2 weeks ago and are 16 inches tall as of this morning. It's probably to early to tell but it's looking like females so far. I did no pruning on the purps but I plucked the tops out of all the blueberries. It's all a big fun experiment for me. I've smoked weed since I was 14. Always worked all the time and never had time for any sort of gardening. What prompted me to do this is that I'm just plain sick of the weed around here. None of it seems to be worth a shit. If you do find some good stuff you pay an arm and a leg for it. I got the marijuana bible from the book store and started reading and found this whole process absolutely fascinating. I've done nothing but read and study and I have found RIU very informative also. I do seem to have a lot going on at one time. I keep a calender that helps me keep track of everything. Got some Northern Lights and white widow from Nirvana coming anyday now.

i know how you feel. i you st to bring smoke down to greensboro in '02, i really like NC. thats a very good idea to start your own thing because, this part of the country doesn't have that legal advantage or major market demand for exotic such as ny or cali. i'm paying $1,500 for QP's of kush right now. i feel stupid sometime, paying that much even though it's the real deal, but, in this part of the country thats the price of quality. are you doing a hydro grow or organic? ah, sweet 14, thats when it all started for me too. now it doesn't feel so solitaire now that i have someone near me that knows the struggles of us middle east coasters.:clap:

I'm trying to stay as organic as I can. I'm just trying several different strains for right now. I'll eventually settle on two or three favorites and deal with clones only. Cloning came real easy for me. It seems to be the way to go. I really don't like having seeds come in the mail. I live in a high profile kind of place but my grow is somewhere else. Are you doing any growing right now?

i started my first grow about a month a go and due to security reasons i had to abandon it though. i'm thinking about doing what you are doing with the trailer but, i'm kind of worried about the security of such a medium. i got locked up for a year so, now i'm extremely cautious about how i maneuver. whats your favorite strain as of now? when i got locked up i had the strawberry haze and i kind of attribute it to being the reason i got locked, nevertheless, it's still one of my favorites. when i came home everyone's blowing sour diesel and i usually switch strains according to the latest trends. sour diesel is definitely in my fav5 but i like the kush a little better. i enjoy a good cerebral high but, theres just something about having a constant body buzz that i really enjoy. how about you sativa high or indica? :joint:

I don't know what I prefer. From time to time I come across some brain numbing stuff but I never know where it came from or what kind it was or where it was grown. That's another reason I want to try several different strains. I want to know what I'm smoking. Hate to hear about your troubles. It would be awlful to have to abandon a grow. It's all kind of risky but I think I have a good set-up. I own a large mobile home park. I've been going from trailer to trailer buying them, remodeling them and then renting them out. I've got so many of them nobody pays me any attention. So I took one of them and made a hell of a growroom. If it were to get raided, I don't know anything about it! I have a contract with a fictitious tenant and I have copies of the money order they send every month. It's the best plan I can come up with.

that sounds like something i'd do, lol. yeah, you are covered i'd just not repeat that to anyone ever again. you're life is really going to change now that you know what you're smoking. oh, being locked up was no trouble at all i was prepared for the inevitable, besides i just picked up on a lot of much needed sleep and learned how to play every table top game there is. but, anyway, do you mind if i add you to my friends/network list? i want to ask you a couple of things in private.

So, here I am...another fellow North Cack-A-Lackan doing there thing. I love it yall, keep it up
