Hey Ive been around the sight looking to see if anyone has already posted this question and ppl have but I still have a unanswered question.I live in California and am starting my plants but I would like to start them indoor so I can start them sooner.What light that wont break my wallet would be good to start indoor.Also what hours should I have the plants on?Ive never started them indoor before and dont want to screw myself over.

Thanks

Hey I would be happy to tell you the whole story,and how this came about.this is some good knowledge to pass on.you are right ,I should share this with all that want to know.
the day after thanksgiving i would plant my seeds(This was long ago and we were just learning about cloning,another story for another day) in 1 gallon buckets under an 8' fluroscent in a big closet.leaving the light on 24/7. In the end of December or early January,about 45 days,i would turn the light down
to 8hrs hrs a day until they sexed.After removing the males and topping the females I would turn the light back up to 24/7 which allowed the ladies to get growing.I am a firm believer in topping and stripping the leaves.buds grow on branches not on leaves.I will get into this later.by march the plants are good sized and healthy enough to move outside as long they have direct cover from any frosts that will occur.Build cover out of branches and such.it is early in the year and there will be plenty of time to remove the cover and get lots of sun.
back to moving them outside,since the plants are female and have been under lights for 24hrs aday 7days a week.once they have been placed in the chosen location,the girls detect the shorter light available to them and soon think it is time to produce resin in order to catch any male pollen that might happen along.well since there isnt any ,the horny bitches keep budding and getting stickier.I highly reccomend getting some ElanorsVF11 to spray on the budding part of your plants.This will accelerate the fattening of your buds.it is nontoxic
and it WORKS.Soon new growth that has not seen the 24/7 lights appears and starts growing out like a plant would at this time of year.use Mir-Acid 30-10-10 on the new growth side of the plant.Spray it on,if you use the miracid on the roots the nitrogen content will affect the budding.Use Superthrive and ElanorsVF11when watering the roots.the part of the plant that is budding will be ready around early or mid june.Harvest then watch how fast that regrows and catches up with the other side.once the buds are gone I highly reccomend feeding the plants through the roots and foliar with a mix of the Mir-acid ,Elanors VF11 and superthrive.Superthrive only the roots. Carry on as usual into sept-oct-nov and harvest again.It works very well.Please feel free to ask more about this,and any other ?'s about outdoor growing.I have a method of topping,stripping and bending branches combined with feeding cycles thst will blow your mind.But most people have a hard time stripping their plants the first few times until they see......the results with their own eyes
.These are all pretty much available in most nurseries.Let me know if you have trouble finding ElanorsVF11 it can be difficult.I was in longs drugs one day and just happened down the plant aisle,I noticed this bottle that said Will aid your plants to blossom more frequently with large healthy flowers.It would have been against my better judgement to not buy and try some.This stuff works like no other.the numbers on Elanors are 15-85-55.they came out with a new product it has the same VF11 but they call it lawn food the numbers 30-85-55.Imixed this with the mir acid30-10-10 and you have 60-95-65 if diluted correctly the results are phenomanal.Yes I am stoned and rambling it is all part of having me over
Use 15 gallons buckets outside,I grow my own dirt.Using horseshit and the fallout from old oaktrees i cover with sycamore leaves and sand and let sit through winter.
dig your15gl buckets into the ground.This helps to keep the plants lower
i take a roll of flashing 18"-24" paint it camo then cut it up so I can roll a sleeve to put around each plant stalk.This stops rodents from getting at the stalk.I hate those little bastards.Then I cage each area.Dont forget to shit and piss all over your spots too.Critters cant stand us.You can take your empty beer cans and bottles and place them in the hole where the bucket is going.stand them so the opening is up.When you water they will fill up,your roots will find their way out of the bucket,also thirsty underground critters tend to be less interested in your plants as a water source if there is water for them.It is getting late ,gotta go.I would really like to see you get this down
it has been very good to me.please ask anything you want.After 35 years of gardening it is fun to share what i have figured out. SHUN THE NON BELIEVERS,strip those leaves,top those branches every third node,bend branches down and out to let light in to the lower parts of the plant and make room for all the new branches soon to grow in,water and feed the shit out of them,let them leaf out for a weekor two and do it all again.REPEAT THIS CYCLE and you will know the meaning of poundage per plant.

Cool Ill try that next year thanks.I plant mine straight in the ground (been growing for 5 years).Then tie down to keep below the fence line.I got about 12 or 13 off of 7 plants.

Whats happening senor shakey 101.I started back in 1973 and have tried many different things . the method i posted works great and will blow your mind. got divorced a while back and to my dismay sold the property that gave me access to the sacred soil(my killer grow spots) had 22 of them along a three mile stretch of a river that runs through slo county and monterey county. Would put 10 to 15 per spot. Only using 8 - 10 spots a year and rotating each year. Only my pit bulls knew this jungle better than me.I miss the hell out of the place and the great opportunities it provided each year. But life goes on.
I went three years without gardening and it FUCKING killed me. can still get to the place , but there is a big diff between walking out your back gate compared to parking in a public place or being dropped off (so no repeat vehicle leaving over and over again)and hiking in. Keep up the great work 12-13 off of 7 is good living dude. well gettin that time of year again,gotta grow
