I just harvested 1/3 of my very first grow, and I made my own soil with great results. It was way cheaper, totally organic and despite the extra work, it was totally fulfilling. The ingredients of Fox Farm and Roots Organics aren't that difficult to replicate. They're really just recipes for...

I know others have mentioned the possibility of overwatering. A good trick to figure out if that's what you're unintentionally doing is to fill an empty grow cup now with the moist soil as it came out of the bag (I assume it is relatively moist). Put it on a scale and weight it (in grams, if...

There's also a great sticky in this Newbie forum called Replant Those Long Stretchy Stems ( Its Easy ) by Goten. If they are, indeed, "stretchy," check out his post. Good luck with your new set up.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. I'm a little weary of Cinderella 99 (read too much about paranoia) and a lot of the other strains seems a little too indica heavy for my taste. I haven't made up my mind about the third one, but I think I'm going to go with Beyond The Brain from...

Crazy. Of the first 3 seed varieties I ended up buying, SLH was the third and is also on deck for harvest along with TD. It seems you predetermined my choices which means you really are god. Funny, I've had a lot more trouble getting the SLH to grow, and even now in flowering, it just isn't...

That is great news, god! I'm about 2 weeks away from harvesting a tangerine dream and a super lemon haze. I had bought TD in haste wihout having seen all the bashing it's gotten on this site. My plant is beautiful and frosty, though not very resistant to pests (spider mites and some other...

Right on, Krypton. This looks like the best one for me in the TGA line. Thanks! Hope to get some opinions on Malawi Gold and others to see if they match my profile.

I can't possibly count the hours I've combed through posts with a similar title as this one, so hopefully it will be a challenge rather than a redundancy for everyone out there. I just harvested for the first time ever: Shaman from Dutch Passion. It’s been around since the 80’s...

Well, there is no doubt I'm a newbie. Thanks for the heads up, IndicaMan.

But notice Hazey Grapes' contribution was posted just a month ago. There's still hope he receives it.

This is a great post, as long ago as it started! Excellent run down, Hazy Grapes. Thanks! If I had a choice in the matter, I'd only smoke sativas, now that I just harvested my first one (Shaman). I'm looking for something creative ( I do a lot of writing), motivational, and focused, and I...

There's a great sticky under "Harvesting" called "Harvesting and Trichomes" by koijn that is fantastic. When I was in your exact situation just a month or go or so, I read that thread from beginning to end (it's likely still active). Anyway, koijn provides a sea of great information, all of it...

I was so sick of smoking for 2 decades whatever I could find from dealers that almost invariably put me in stupid mode: trouble finishing a thought, stringing sentences together, couch-lock, etc. Then after learning the flood of information here about everything (and so much more to learn), I...

This is the most thorough LST tutorial I have found on the forum, with images and all. It was originally posted by Mogie here at RIU whom I credit fully. I may have made a few grammatical changes to the content, but that was just me being a grammar cop. I used this method on my first grow...

You're welcome!

I'm amidst my first grow, but I can tell you without a doubt that I've had tremendous success with LC's Soilless Mix #2. Found all of the following on RIU, but here it is with all credit due to LC and other responders: LC's Soiless Mix #2: 6 parts Pro Mix BX or HP / Sunshine Mix (any...

She grew no more than about 18-20 inches before she started to flower, and I started LST at about 12 inches. For the LST, I handcrafted a barbed wire ring (what I had on hand) just barely bigger than the circumference of the top of the 3 gallon pot, and forced it in to secure itself against...

I do not have any pics unfortunately. The super soil recipe I used was a slightly amended LC Mix which there is a lot of info about on this site. Not that I can yet imagine a better high than what Shaman is giving me, but I really want to grow Durban Poison, Kali Mist and Jack Herer for the...

I know I'm not the first here to share his excitement about the results his first grow, but holy crap! In the decades I've smoked and wasted money on a overpriced pot, I don't think I'd EVER smoked a sativa before in my life until I grew one. It makes sense, I guess, since anybody with profit...
