Welcome and congratulations on taking the daunting step of growing your own cannabis! I too am new to this forum but have found that everyone here is knowledgeable and helpful.

So, where you starting???

 

[FenderSuper]

Oh gosh not until June. I'm doing clones, starting in SF Bay Area. Smart pots in the back yard.

I'm fortunate insofar as my little sister is a master gardener. She has a masters in chemistry and builds her own soil. She likes worm shit fertilizer. ;) She's building and cooking soil for me. 30-gal fabric pots in the back yard. Indica only. Afghani is an easy grow, as is GDP, or so my grower pal says.

 

[MamaBear]

Your grower pal is right - both those are fairly easy. Excellent choices! Good luck!!

Per your welcome, I'm there. Be warned, I am a godless commie, so far left of Democrats it's silly. Forewarned is forearmed. ;)

wish i could go back outdoors ..but there is too much humidity for a lot of indicas here..rare to have a whole week below 80 percent rh..mostly had to go with forever flowering sativas..luckily back then i could let them go up to mid-late november.
Btw...kens gdp has been on my bucket list a few years now..i want to try more strains that are already available than i could ever get to..but gdp is high on the list

This will be my very first. I've decided on Afghani and Ken's GDP. The Bay Area has moisture, but nothing like the humidity of most places east of the rockies, with that cloying, nasty 90/90 shit going on. I hated that weather last time I was in it, back in 2002 in New Orleans (Jazzfest). I got sick from all the AC inside to 90/90 outside. Was two MONTHS before I could clear my ears (and hear anything). Next time it's one or the other. I'll stick in the dry, dry west, and work for the day California is an independent nation.

I used to live in new orleans..still isnt a long drive to get there..last time i was there i went to a grow shop a couple years after the hurricane..its still a third world area.
