Hey brothas. haha well this is my first time growing..... and i've bought a bag of Miracle Grow Potting Mix. Is this okay to use? i mean i know about the time released nutes being a bad idea.... but i just realized how bad it could be with just a little research, but i'm also hearing that if i don't water too much that the little nute balls won't overnute the plants. i have four plants that are the size of my pinky near about. and they're all seeming to be growing well at this point. I gave them a half gallon of water today, just to soak the soil really well. is that okay to do? i mean the soil already dried out a good bit and started to be almost completely dried out. and i've watered them about 200 ml everyday before today. today is my fourth day. i'm actually just a 17 year old kid who loves weed.... haha. i'm just trying out the growing process now to see what it's about, who knows maybe i'll become an expert one day. i mean honestly usually everything i do i become an expert at... well anyways that's beside the point. what i'm wondering is have i watered them too much? will i be able to successfully flush my plants when it comes to harvest time? cause i accidently got the 6 month feeding kind.. i think i've actually done quite wrong. i mean i'm pretty sure my plant is still gonna make it to harvest, i'm just wondering if i don't flush them well will my bud have a really bad taste? or not smoke well? i just need all the advice i can get. thanks you guys who reply to my post. and happy 420 (;

I'd be careful with the MG soil... You can definitely grow in it, but you need to be super careful not to use any nutes unless there's an obvious deficiency... Sprouts rarely need any nutes at all, so underwatering at this point may be the best approach. When they get to the seedling stage (I'd say when they get their 3rd set of alternating branches), look up "make it rain" on these forums and do a flush. This may help to eliminate some of those slow release nutes in the MG soil and allow you to control what your plant gets. Using 2-3 times the volume of the container they're planted in (if they're in a 16 oz keg cup, use 48 oz of water... If they're in 1 gal buckets, 2-3 gallons water... etc.) flush them slowly over a long period of time. I have 3 gallon buckets, so I place them on a rack over a larger bucket and I slowly pour about 2 gallons at a time through the container, being careful not to disrupt the soil too much. Once you've poured 1/3 of the water, let the plant sit for about an hour (depending on the size of your bucket) and drain. Repeat with the second 1/3 of the water and wait another hour or so. Finally, pour the last 1/3 of the water and make sure that the run-off from the final 1/3 is clearer than the runoff from the first 1/3.

Be aware... Making it rain and flushing at this point isn't the most widely accepted practice. People will disagree with my advice... But MJ is strong and a lot tougher than we give it credit for. It's always better to underwater (when not trying to correct a problem) than over water. You want the roots to be stretching out to find moisture. Bigger root system = bigger plants = bigger buds

There are so many different approaches to growing. look around and see what fits your situation best! Good luck and welcome to the forums!

Well......not to sound harsh, but you are surely at "Square One"! The 4 questions presented wouldn't produce enough information for a viable grow. You have got to read, read, and READ some MORE! There are numerous threads in this forum for the novice growers.
Before thinking about "how long before I smoke?", You need to understand HOW cannabis grows.

Read read read... And when you're done with that, come back and read some more. Welcome to the forums! The best way to get your beans to sprout is to learn as much as you can about how the plant works, what I will tolerate and then applying that knowledge to your specific situation. There is no all powerful answer that will simply turns your seeds to buds. Do some research! I'm assuming that's why you joined the forum

Thanks much. My girls are looking good. Yesterday I experimented by feeding just one plant with Earth Juice Grow to see how it reacts. I've been using balanced pH water only to allow nutes in the soil to do their thing. Will be curious to see how this one plant reacts. Majority are getting their 5's currently. Again, thanks for the welcome. And yes T5 is making me a very happy grower.

already i got a question if you can help what seed would work on a humid climate lets say gulf coast in texas

I believe several seed banks have listings for high humidity resistant strains.........Good luck & good grow.......BB

I also live with high humidity. Curious how it will alter the drying and curing process.

fck this i am out and good lucka l,

hi all i am new just start my grow 2 weeks ago what do u think

Hey folks, I am new to the site and was hoping for some pointers as far as how to get started. I am intending on growing indoors with a enclosure. If anyone can offer some good sites that I may find some good enclosures I'd really appreciate it. Also i would need help with lighting and how to properly ventilate the enclosure. I have been doing some research and will continue to but I figure that me asking people is much better than reading stuff online. Any help is greatly appreciated as I hope to start up within a month or two.
