A new grower needs some help!

I dont know if NEW grower is exactly the word. Ive attempted once before, and got caught but they were not doing well anyway.

I have made my grow room ideal... walls painted white, completly sealed and locked up. Im using 5 standard 24 watt florecent lights for 10 plants. About 5 of my plants are near 2 inches and starting to show there first leaves.

Where do I go from here? How can I be sure i get the best crop possible? What are the best things I can do to speed along the process. Im using Miracle Grow with 6 months of food in the soil, so I shouldn't have problems with nutrients.

I want a nice head high smoke with little to no seed, i know i will have to sex them and take away the males to do that, but how can i Maximize my THC content and my final yield?

Someone break this down for me with soil. If your soil ALREADY has 6 months of nutrients how can it possibly be the right amount? When you have tiny seedlings such as these wouldn't you need very very little nutrients? When they get much larger of course it's easy to add nutrients, but how can you be sure that you are adding enough and of what they need?


Good luck, I would be careful you don't burn your little seedlings with that nutrient enriched soil.

From one newbie to another:

1) Read the Grow FAQ.
2) Post newbie questions like these in the Newbie Central area of this message board.
3) Go thru the grow journals and experience the success and failures of other growers before you first-hand.
4) Don't overcomplicate things -- growing is fundamentally a lot easier than people make it sound. Getting the absolute best results does take work, know-how, and experience, none of which you're gonna have at this point anyhow, so just give your plants the basics and let'em grow!
Good luck!
