Good post. Until you've killed 30 or forty plants, keep things simple. Start slow, walk before you run. This isn't a cheap hobby. Most growers should also grow other plants around the house/yard. If you can learn to grow a healthy plant using simple techniques, then you are ready to progress in...

Depends on strain, however, generally I take off the bottom third of a 4 foot plant. If you know the strain, go ahead and go medieval on em. Also, just watch them. By the time you get to flower you should have an idea what you have, and what you can get away with. Keep notes.

look, there are literally hundreds of nutrient lines, and they all work, within certain limits. I've used many, and keep coming back to Flora Nova line by GH. I use every thing that they recommend for advanced growing, exactly as they say. If i've not grown that strain before, I start at half...

One of the most important facts about mold/mildew hasn't even been mentioned. It is the contributing factor for mildew. It's long and complicated, but here goes. If your grow room is too cold at night, raise the temps to 68f or better. Mold and mildew like cooler temps. Also, some strains are...

I am somewhere in the middle. I use a certain line of nutes, then use their feeding tables to start, starting half strength. Some of these companies have spent a lot to figure this stuff out. The hard part is weeding out the profiteers. Nothing wrong with a profit, but some of these folks are...

I also do not use a meter, but I know my water inside and out. I am a water/wastewater SME, so I do have an idea how things work. If I was going in with little real knowledge about water chemistry, I probably would. It will shorten your learning curve about YOUR water. After a while you won't...

Here's something to keep in mind: Fish emulsion is just one more way to get the required nutrients our babies like. It's not magic, just one more tool. There are ways around using fish if you don't like the smell, but plants do like it. And it's cheap. RR1

I like THC Bomb, by Bomb Genetics. It yields great, high THC, tastes fruity/skunky. And easy to grow. Comes in a fem version. RR1

I'd mother it out, take clones for sog or scrog. It does ok if you can let it get big. And a screen can do that. I just did it in a scrog, yield ok, smokes fantastic. RR1

So, no matter how outlandish, now we all know we can play you for a sucker once. ;) RR1

Some strains eat up calcium and magnesium like nobodies business. I always make sure I have an abundance of both. One thing I also do is foliar feed with 1 tsp magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) to 1 gal water, once a week. They sure seem to like it. Do you use a cal/mag product? It's cheap...

The trick to fabric pots is to thoroughly water the whole pot till it drains out the bottom, and only after it gets pretty dry. If you water smaller amounts more often, the whole pot doesn't get wet enough. Roots won't grow where the water don't go. You also need to pack the soil in evenly or it...

Just wait, it'll come. RR1

You'll be surprised what you will eventually end up with. You have the right attitude, and a curious mind. Too bad you don't have anyone around. That would be a huge help. Guess you'll have to make do with us. RR1

I saw you put a like on one of my replies, so I know you're paying attention. OK,basics. 1. Medium. Sounds like dirt. When I did dirt, I used Pro-mix. Bought it by the bale. When starting out, do not build a soil yet. Not ready for that. Use plain Pro-Mix in 5 gal fabric pots. Pack it in, water...

You learned a very important, expensive lesson. If the pH is wrong, it doesn't matter how good, or how many nutrients are there, shit just don't grow. Same with a lawn. You can put on triple 12 till the cows come home if the pH is wrong. RR1

This may sound mean, but it's not meant to. You went and got all the stuff, blah, blah. Did you remember to do your homework? Do you have a green thumb? Do you grow other types of plants, flowers, etc? Those are the kinds of things that help determine what happens next. Buy a book or two on...

Because the part of the plants under the lights are using more nutrients. Just like plants under a 1000 use more nutrients than those under a 600. RR1

That is a deficiency. For whatever reason, that looks like Cal/Mag problems. I always put them together, because they often happen together for a couple reasons. 1. Cannabis loves and needs them both. Some plants can't seem to get enough. 2. When you have nutrient lockout probs, they are both...

It doesn't matter about this male or that female, you've only got 4 plants. Not much in the way of choices there. But as far as breeding, you're not there yet. You haven't learned enough about how to even grow healthy plants yet. Walk before you run. Don't get in a hurry, you'll get there. Takes...
