Good luck with your farming adventure.

Newbie here sayin what up! Just getting my feet wet in the forum, preparing myself to ask a bunch of question. Planning my first "serious" attempt at growing as soon as my seeds get here. I got some ''regs" in nursery cups as a dry run to take note of the stages of plant growth. I got a few questions before I shell out cash on seeds and the like. I will be growing indoors is one strain of seed easier to grow than another? I saw an all in one soil grow kit being sold by htgsupply. The price seemed reasonable compared to what other people were selling on the net. Are there pros/cons to this kit for a 1st time grower?

Hi, Thought I would introduce myself to the community. I'm 55 and livin in the great pacific northwest. Been a toker for 35 yrs. Plan on setting up an indoor hydroponic systyem in the near future. I have some experience years ago with vho flourecent grow lights and have been vegetable gardening for quite a few years but no hydro experience.
Glad I found this forum, it will be a big help Im sure. Look forward to all the tips and advice available.

hey guys! i'm currently in week 2 of growing. i used a strategy to start my plants without consulting to any growing forum, anything of the sort. i'm not new to the theory of growing, but completely new to the practice. i soaked the seeds in some paper towels for a couple of days until a lil something sprouted out, then planted it in small 3.5 inch tall planters using some soil my friends had left over from his garden (he grows different fruits and spices). after 3 days lil plants came out. right now I'm in week 2 of growing using 3 flourecent lights, 18 hrs on 6 off, and my babies range from 3-7 inches tall, they still have their lil embryonic leaves, very cute! I don't have enough lights yet but my setup is not complete. i'm going to buy some work light fixtures from HD and going to a light store to grow them with: 4 flourecent lights (300 watt incandecent equivalent)... my grow space is 2ftx2ftx2ft ... is that enough light?? i'm surrounding my plants with white surfaces, like white posterboard cuz my girl has plenty of it lying around (she's into arts and crafts and were short on cash)not any reflective mirror-type things. i want to know if my proposed light setup is enough? what size planter should I use? also, what minimumsize should my plants reach before i start flowering them? what should I do to recognize early (early as in ASAP) whether my plants are male or female or do I just wait and see?? is it possible that a plant has both male and female areas?? if so, what do I do with the male parts? cut them out? I would like to flower my plants when they are ready but not too big because of space constraints... i need help and googling info is too impersonal.... i'm really sorry for the long post but this IS the newbie section. nice to know all of you, and i wish you the best with your growing endeavors!!

Hi all. I'm new here, and new to growing. I guess that its more of a hobby and way to save me money that i would normally spend on getting my bud elsewhere.
Not too many questions, I've been reading through this site and a few others, and I'm hoping I have the basics down. If it fails, it fails and I learn a lesson for next crop. If not, then I just saved myself a few trips to the atm.

hey all, been reading a while, finally registered and I'm gonna give growing a shot

Hello everyone I'm going to do a bit of reading before I post anymore, I Just Lost the plant that I think you will see in my avatar? To a poor grow medium and an 8.6 ph level(Got Muddy and Snuffed out the root system real fast)... Just got a setup going in my basement with the clones I snipped quickly from mom as she was dying there not doing to well at the moment. I hope to contribute some of what I learn This is a great resource thanks.

Hey fellows, learned a lot from RIU already. Started my first grow a couple of weeks ago, soon posting a diary.
Regards.

what's the best lighting for a week or two old bag seed? Would a 400 watt MH be safe or no?

Hello guys, great forum am sure i will find this gaff is exactly what i need to help me along my way...

Here's my first question for you guys, i have a HPS 600 watt ballast (brand new given to me by a friend) is it possible for me to run a lower wattage bulb in a 600 watt ballast, basically what i need to know is, does a 600 watt ballast run any wattage bulb upto 600 watt? Or will a 600 watt ballast run 600 watt HPS bulbs only?

Thanks guys a prompt answer would be very much appreciated as i am awaiting some valued advice before i continue with my plans..

Sky...

ok, how do I start a thread?

Hey, you seem friendly!
Could I ask you a question? Have a beauty, nearly 4 feet tall. Was in lots of sun in my mudroom and now that I see the little white threads, (sorry, forgot what they are called) know that I need to give her the 12/12 treatment. Have a wonderful upstairs closet for the darkness, but NO light system at all. I haven't needed it before. Was advised not to move her to the mudroom downstairs...stressful, and she is HEAVY!
Should I just move her into our bathroom, 2 feet away for the sunny parts of the day?
Gets sun there, as there is also a skylight, but not nearly the same as our mudroom/greenhouse.
Also, what do you think of the 12/12 ratio, as I have also heard conflicting stories....
Any help you could give me would be great!
Thanks for your time.

well, you look for(meaning sex) spike like white hairs coming from each node, then you have a female, the other is quite obvious, little balls is a male. and if you want, after you establish sex and when you feel that it is ready to harvest, about 2 weeks before, you can zap'em with UV at like ten min. intervals 2 to 3 times a day to increase the trichome production, considering the genetics. but be kinda far away from your plant or you will burn them, the light thing, now you do know they veg very well in the blue spectrum, so you get cfl's with the blue spec, and the wattage you are using is pretty good for what you are doing, so if you have any other questions just ask.
