Hi, I just ordered seeds off the internet. Its not letting me put a link on here, idk why. but there are a seed called "White Ruski" Its supposed to be a cross between "AK47 and White Widow". 10 seeds were $115 in US currency. I will be growing them in doors. I went to the local hydroponics store and bought 2 pots, a 108watt florescent lamp that has 4 bulbs, and a few other things.

I know how to start the seeds off, but i have a few questions about the later stages.

-First, How much light do i use, and during what stages of growth?
-what is the best fertilizer to use?
-On that link, it says that the seeds will yield "400-500g m2" what exactly does that mean? How many plants is a square meter?
-If Im only doing 2 plants, and i do them right, with the proper lighting, temperature, watering, fertilizing, etc, what yield can i expect?

I know when the plants start budding, i will need to switch to a HPS light, but what kind? meaning what lumen output, etc...

I know some of these are noob questions, but its my grow, and im just trying to do it right. Advanced growers, please give me some good information :) thanks!

I'm not an advanced grower by any stretch but the best advice anyone here can give you is to do your homework. Start reading. Get a good grow book. Read all the stickies you find in these forums. Read Read Read.

when you receive ur seeds put them in a glass jar and store them in a cool dry place.than get some bagseed [any kind will do] and grow them first.if you want two plants at harvest time go ahead and sprout 20 seeds in 3 inch pots filled with coco if ur going hydro or seedling mix if using soil.while waiting for the seeds to sprout follow BIGSBY'S ADVICE AND READ everything you can about seedlings and pot growing. go ahead and hang ur light 12 inchs above ur pots. as ur bagseeds sprout DO NOT give them nutes, DO NOT over water, and DO NOT touch/poke/fondle them.temps never over 80. after all have sprouted post some pics and we'll go further.

thanks for the responses guys, but my questions really didnt get answered. Ive been reading, and trying to do my homework, but i just can find good answers to the questions i posted.

I did forget to say that the seems are feminized, so i dont think ill have to plant 20 of them to have 2 ready at harvest time.

I did forget to say that the seems are feminized, so i dont think ill have to plant 20 of them to have 2 ready at harvest time.this is ur first indoor grow and you don't know what light to put over ur seedlings;i expect you will kill most of ur babies but it would be nice if you prove me wrong. First, How much light do i use, and during what stages of growth? how much space do you have? -what is the best fertilizer to use? there is no 'best' -On that link, it says that the seeds will yield "400-500g m2" what exactly does that mean? it means one pound per nine square feet = bullsh*t How many plants is a square meter? as many as you want -If Im only doing 2 plants, and i do them right, with the proper lighting, temperature, watering, fertilizing, etc, what yield can i expect? grow them ten feet tall and six feet wide and expect four pounds. I know when the plants start budding, i will need to switch to a HPS light, but what kind? meaning what lumen output, etc.. nine 1000 watt HPS will grow those trees any more questions ?
