Hello, I joined not too long ago and love the site. But coco needs a sub-forum! Hopefully next crop I'll do a journal.
I'm almost on a 30-cycle. I recently relocated so its been lame getting reset up. I Currently am growing some Blue Cheese. and have started a PPP and 5 Sour D Seeds. Got a bag seed going outside.

Looking forward to watching nice journals! Keep up the good work RIU.

Hello everyone! Soon-to-be new grower here! Still doing some research as for what strain is best for me before I get my own place. Look forward to getting to chat bud with you all, haha.
 
Hello All, I really like this site. I have some questions on growing tips, being a rookie (1st timer). I am from Eastern Mo and I started 4 plants by seed on July 9 outdoors in regular planting pots and commercial soil. They are growing, and progressing very nicely. (about 4-6 inches tall) I have the following questions.. (1) When should I be able to tell their sex? (2) What kind of yield am I looking at from this point? (3) What is the next step? Our first freeze is typically in mid-end Oct.
I also have 2 plants that were started indoors back in April, and my bf just put them outside about a week ago (being paranoid, they were raised in a back room window/ no fertilizer). These plants are not in real great shape. They are frail looking with droopy leaves. Should I try to fertilize these 2 older plants? I am looking for their gender, and I'm not seeing the little balls on them. I'd like to salvage these plants if possible? Thanks for any help, I can get :)

or8 fartley ere jst lettin yas no im here lol
and for a first time grower will it be better to grow an auto flowering or a normal plant?
 
Hello Jerry. Wow - when I read your intro post, I thought of ... me ! I haven't done any growing in 30 years either. The techniques are so much more refined today ( or maybe the internet just allows me to get the newest info ! ) Anyhow welcome. and good luck gardening :-)

So here is my intro... As I said, I haven't grown in 30 years. Currently I have one outside plant. I love growing and gardening anyway ( cooking herbs, peppers, tomatoes, etc. ) so growing MJ seemed to be a natural followup. I have a lot to learn and this site is an excellent source for all our needs.
Thanks all for the info. Widow Maker's post on 101 already asked questions https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/1326-101-already-asked-questions.html is awesome and a great place to start !

are pistils supposed to turn reddish brown at the start of the flowering stages??? can get detailed pictures if required...
 
I new to this and was interested to see what inexpensive ideas any of you in this community could come up with to help get me started . I see so many videos on grow rooms and lighting and fertilizer etc.. But I really don't want to spend a ton of money that I don't have when I really don't know what I'm doing yet. I'm leaning more towards an indoor op and I wanted to start small with just six plants and the faster the grow cycle the better. I 'm just looking for a relatively inexpensive outline of equipment that I would need to get started and some good starter strains to begin with. If anyone novice or seasoned could help me out with getting things going it would be greatly appreciated. Stay medicated my friends.

i would suggest a 250w Cfl for veg and a 400w hps for flower that would handle 6 decent size plants in a 1m square area..an oscillating fan for air movement and a means of exhausting the growspace, preferably the size of the room every 5mins or so..as for fastest grow cycle hydro/aero/bubbleponics are ur best options but this does involve a bit more gear and knowhow with optimum ph levels and ec/tds/ppm measurements and such..as well as more power to run pumps/heaters/airstones more risk of flooding, and if thers a power failure or some sort or nutrtional mishap, all the plants in the system suffer..as opposed to hand watered soil/soiless mixes..its really down to how much u wanna spend and what u wanna achieve i guess?? peace jah bless

um thats really humid...94% youll need a dehumidifier in flowering stage for optimum THC production...plant growth is slowed greatly at temps over 28C and below 15C...pictures would help alot ...main thing is good light, good ventilation, and good nutrition and water...youl want you Relative humidity to be around the 35 -50% mark 94% is far too high...
 
Hey guys. this is my first post. Basically my dad has grown with me and he has done it outside. I now want to grow in my attic. What should the humidity and temperature be up there?

Hey all,
I have a passion for growing strong, healthy girls! I am coming back to growing after a long time off. I'm in Washington state, so obviously its all indoors for me.

Looking for a top quantity strain, maybe someone would like to point me to a thread with that discussion under way :)? I am building my room little by little so its not up to top production yet. I have about 14 girls now but expect to have about 45 when everything is rolling. I have 3 HID lights now, a 600W HPS (flowering), 400W MH (veg), and a 100W sunsytem (clones).I will add more lights as needed. I don't use sog but i do run run a continuous harvest.

Looking to try Uncle Ben's topping method. 4 huge cola's, sounds juicy! I think i may give that ak48 a try and it sounds like Nirvana is the place to buy?

Anyway if i have a question ill be sure to ask and offer up some support for the community. Thanks for keeping a great community for grower!
 
Hi, just been kind of growing for a hobbie and I'm getting pretty good at it. I have some gnats...any advice on how to completely get them out of my soil and plants?
