Question First time growing. Looking for Tips!

[nord1337]

Hello everyone

I bought some weed a week ago, and it had a few seeds in it. I knew the very basic of growing, so I decided to give germinating a try lol. I was kinda surprised that it sprouted a little white root!

Feeling optimistic, I planted it, and now its actually growing
I didn't really expect much at first, but now that it is going, I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to give it the best chance. I've read bits and pieces online, but I'd love to hear from you guys directly. What should I focus on to help it thrive: lighting, soil, watering schedules, nutrients, or anything else I mightn't have thought about?

im using just basic equipment now but open to invest a bit (~20€) if its worth it. Any beginner-friendly advice would mean a lot!

For now. Light, reasonable temperature, and moist. Don't let them dry out (but don't drown them either)

When they mature you need light. And a lot of it ! (think 1000w LED pr square meter)

Thx, I've been keeping the temperature stable and making sure the soil stays moist but not soaked

I'm gonna be making a guide about growing weed EXACTLY for you!
I promise you will learn lots of wonderful information

I've decided to do a grow this year. More or less, I will just be keeping a journal as I go and sharing it with all you folks at BB, for your benefit ;]
I will be glad to show you how to grow bushes like these. Not just single little scraggly buds from one little stem, but multiple colas so fat they're falling over.
Everything you'll need to know, with a minimum of expense and effort. No equipment or anything special necessary, if you're outside. If you're inside, you'll need a light, but you can get a decent LED light for like $200 that will fit in your closet and grow 4 medium sized plants. There isn't anything hard or complicated about growing, you mostly just have to stay consistent with it.

Bro I forgot to enable the lightning + opened my window for ~20 mins (it’s ~2,5m away from it), and here’s what happened to it, can I fix it or do anything?

Are those transparent containers used as pots? Light kill roots. Do it right or not at all.

 

[nord1337]

i used a fucking bottle

Try to pick a style and learn every aspect of it.personally have grown to love true living soil but I started dwc and salt based nutes also don't fall for the bs nute companies trying to sell you 20 different bottles like advanced.general hydros three peice is pretty sweet for learning.

I'm my opinion there's nothing like a living soil if you build a quality starter you can get at least one round with nothing but water although it's always nice to boost the mycro life with some teas from time to time

Hi. I have been growing weed indoors plus outdoors since i was 15...
I am 44 now,not to brag but i have a lot of experiences...i used hps lamps which are best but consume lot of power & produce a lot of heat....so now i use led lamps....most of the time i plant automatic seeds because they grow really fast,but don't give much as with normal feminized seeds. i have a trick that only few people have when recognizing which plant is male & which is male....after only 1 to 2 weeks of plant growing i can tell with 90 percent which one is male which one is male....not many growers can do that i bet you....if you have any question on seeds,how to grow,which soil to use & what to avoid feel free to ask. I have pictures of my weed growing that i can show you....first plant i had was in woods....it was about 2 meters high...it was so big it didn't fit in my carone advice when growing,always get best seeds you can find best soil,i make my own mix of soil,& u must know weed likes acidic soil most....

Hello. I would like to start growing myself but have absolutely no experience. Don't know ANYTHING. Could you tell me some things I should know? Like which type of weed grows fastest or other things? Type of soil I need? Lamps? Homidity?
Thank you.

 

[jewguyheres]

yo if i know no one who sells seeds , should i buy some weed to try and find seeds in it ?

 

[IcMe]

Yeah, I think that's the best option.

 

[jewguyheres]

whats after? can i rely on the sunlight ?

 

[IcMe]

Donno, but I think U need UV lights. No sunlight.

 

[pshcrmth]

nope is bad idea.

 

[Glerbus]

The bigger than pot you plant it in the bigger the plant will grow!!!!

 

[jewguyheres]

ok lets say the plant is big now , i can use the cannabis instantly or there is dry progress or something?

Yes, you have to dry it, at which point it's smokable, and curing it, which can take a few more weeks, but that gives it flavors and gets rid of the green/leafy taste, which is chlorophyll and maybe fertilizer....

Before harvest, 3+ days before harvest, if possible, leaf the plants right there, and put the leaves right there on the soil. There is a little shock when you leaf them (or, de-leaf, really...) and giving them 3-4 daze or more allows the shock to pass and they are feeling super amazing and happy when you pull them, which means happier weed.

The best way to dry cannnbis is to hang it upside down. The bigger pieces you hang up, the longer it takes to dry, which is a good thing, in this situation...leave the leaves on, in the begining, unless you have insect or a biological issue (fungal or bacterial). If you have more than one plant, put space in between them, since you want air flow.
If you find Botrytis (bud rot), clip several inches below the infected site, (4"-8"), even if you are clipping away what looks like pretty flower. It's not, even though you can't see it.
Use a fan and keep air moving.
After a few daze the fan leaves will dry out so remove them all...when you get better and trust yourself more, you can lead the leaves on there, dry perfectly, leave the leaves on there, and put them in a tote, and burp it, so that in 4 months, you want some weed, you can pull it out and trim it and seems like it is fresh, even though it's 4 months old. If you sell weed, that is how you A) don't have to hire trimmers to trim it all at the begining after harvest, and B) have amazing fresh outdoor weed, in February.
Anyways...
Reorganize your branches/plants because leaf removal and drying shrunk the size of the crop..pick any buds from the ground and put them in a separate pile called "ground weed", you can extract that later. Maybe put the branches back on the wires in a different order...
When the stems snap, IE the bigger stems, then they are ready. This should take 2-3 weeks, at 20-22c and 60% humidity depending on the size of the branches.

@jewguyheres best practice is curing a weed for overall better experience from smoking.
