My boyfriend has some plants outside... and they're doing well... but he says when he picks his males from females he's gonna give me a female... haha i'm new to the growing process not the smoking process... i know that transplanting will stunt the growth of the plants and such... but since they're outside when I get mine, is it alright if I put it indoors... and if so, how much attention should I give to my one plant? I've read a lot about hydroponics and the lights that are needed, but I'm completely lost in being a "weed farmer" lmao... any help would be greatly appreciated!

hmm. Im not pro here, but ill venture an answer.

Transplanting might stunt growth. But not too much In my opinion. Look at the link below in my signature. Two of the largest ones on the left were left in a TINY pot way too long. then transplanted. so by therory that would stunt the heck out of em. but they are Huge.

Can u bring them inside. YES

Yes you can do hydroponics. but IMO thats alot of work for just one plant and ur first grow. Id go with some Good soil. All i can recommend is Fox farms ocean forest soil. Its all ive used on my first and only grow so far.

Hmm attention. Id let the plant grow. then take clones. then keep that one female as a mother. That will work if u have two lights. One 2 HIDs or 1 HID and some CFLs. basicaly u would need two seperate spaces. one for mother and plants in veg and another for ur flowering things :}

also seeing as ur boyfriend grows, kinda. You can just get more from him or have him do the cloning stuff for u. then all u need is one light, one space.

But I would say do something. Because one plant is better than no plants. you will learn alot. I know I have.

p.s. Read the FAQS on the forums. they give LOADS of info. But we will be happy to help.

Great! Well he's actually growing them outside... and they're a couple of inches tall so far... so they're getting just basic sunlight and everything... i'd planned on putting it in the closet in a spare room so my parents dont find it... although my dad is an avid toker as well... haha i would ask him for some kind words on the bud but I think that would be a bit awkward

def. great pics man... keep up the good work with the plants and cross ur fingers for me... haha he's got like a million plants... so he says he wont care if i fuck up one... although i would get mad, that's bud that woulda been wasted haha... we can't all be gifted at growin tho... *crosses fingers* i hope i can get mine right... hmph
