Hi there everyone, new to the forum experience...first time ever lol. I'll cut to the chase if anyone can help me out with starting my first ever grow (1-3 plants) i'm completely clueless on what to do? I'm planning to do it indoors and i've got a few questions and it would be brilliant if some one could help me out?

1) are feminized seeds definitely female (some one told me MALE plants are useless)
2) which soil is the best (considering im from UK)

And that's all the questions I have cause as I said before i'm COMPLETELY clueless on what to do :(
firstly welcome to RIU
1) femminised seeds give your a 99% chance you grow girls. ALL my grows have acheived girls from femm seeds. to date apart from 1 seed which i i found out wasnt an auto seed. since your a beginner its ideal to start with researching because on this fourm there is a LOT of info on offer to help you prepare yourself before you jump into your first grow.

2) personally i have been using Plant Magic SOil 50lL bags. Which is given me impressive results on all my grows, even my twin auto Northern Light grows which i class as my best sucessful grow to date! was done with plant magic soil. but there is a huge range of soils you can choose from for any grow path you decide to venture down.

For more info on PM soil can be found on the link below.

an lastly good to see more uk growers on here, im uk based myself, your find there are alot fo different types of grows you can start with, but soil grows are ideal for beginners due to you are in charge of what you do. but overal before you even concider seting up any grow you choose, research is a must to help you.

Any first tiem grower will run into barreirs because its like riding a bike, or learning to fish, you make mistakes but you take them mistakes an learn from them as its all part of the experince you gain.

Welcome to RIU
Try reading threw the topics in this group ZacWayne as its based around the setup you seem to have there > https://www.rollitup.org/groups/low-watt-cfl-cartel.html <

trying my hand on some stuff called Death Star dont know if ya heard of it but wanting to know and if you have any advice
have you tried googling death star seeds? as it may help yu find grow diarys doen by others who have or are currently growing death star seeds.

I would suggest google death star seeds. an have a browse of the search results it brings up. as i havent come across any grows of that seed strain myself. but google is a popular search engine. and im sure if its results you should come across a few diarys of past or current grows to allow you to use them as guideline diarys against your own grow.


overall the best advice i can offer any new grower is google and if in doubt ask, because over time experinced growers will be happy to give there advice an share their knowledge. dont be to rushy about getting answers as some growers dont login daily on here or 24/7. That last part is something not all newbies realise.

Finally decided to join Rollitup. Have been growing the good stuff for about 2 years. Have been taking care of plants all my life. I am a fan of all the typical "Growing Gods," Cervantes, Rosenthal, The Rev, etc. I prefer organic styles of growing, as I prefer its taste and potency. I currently have 4 plants(from seed) vegging and 3 seedlings. Plan on keeping a fairly detailed journal w/ pics. Looking forward to meeting the Rollitup up network!!
im not fimilar with fully organic growing myslef but depending on how experinced you are perosnally with growing this part of the fourm maybe of some help to you. Beware there is alot of knowledge from some VERY knowledgeable and experince growers and breeders https://www.rollitup.org/organics/

i tried to googled it but no luck finding anything about anyone growing. thought that strain wasnt suppose to have any seeds you can only get it from a clone, so if a plant that is not suppose to give any seeds does.does that mean the seed is worthless?

No that usually means that the genetic line of the mother is not stable.

i.e. They did some crosses and one of the offspring kicks ass.

They should have (or maybe still are....but then why the leak?) then done the
subsequent crop cycles where the preferred phenotpyes are stabilized and
are reliably produced in future plantings of it's seeds.

You see, at any point during this process one can always take a clones and
know that it will perform exactly as the mother.

Good luck,

JD

Welcome aboard.

The first step would probably be to start reading. When you have made
the decision about what type of grow you want to try, then locate the
corresponding forum here and post threads with your questions there.

I would recommend the Indoor Soil forum.

Good luck,

JD

Hello to all at RIU!! I'm new to this forum and I look forward to sharing my knowledge about all things hydroponic. I promise not to pass any opinions as fact , and will only give advice based on my years of research and experience with every possible hydroponic growing method known. I also have some designs for "near 100%" automation for serious commercial growers. In fact, I would love to help anybody design a foolproof "watering/auto-top off/water change system" for hydro. I can tell you how to get the max yield with the resources you have. I also promise not to ask for advice, I will only give it.

Hi i am growing in a styrofoam cooler with cfls and it is about 80 in there with 35% humidity.... I was wondering how to get the humidity up. The outtake on the box is a pc fan on the lid with a passive intake hole.
 
Hows it going,
New grower in their rookie season.I'm using a GH Rainforest/1000 hps(vented) in a 4x4x6.5 home made room/tent type deal.Just wanted to say whats up.I'm making all kinds of mistakes,but seem to be learning from them and enjoying myself the whole time.Some how I have even managed to solidify some good genes from regular seeds.Sucked waiting to sex them but was def worth the trouble.This place looks like a great place to learn some things.


Thanks in advanced!

this is not on by default. You are a registered member, so you should
