Many Different Questions from a First Time Grower

how big should a clone be? do i need rooting compond to root a plant? how big should they get before i start to flower them? Do i have enoghf lighting?
How much genetic diversity is in seeds? can you tell if they are indica or savita by the way the leaves are shaped? (i thougt i herd the skinnier and longer leaves the more of a savita influence it had and the wider and shorter the leaves the more indica influnence)

info: i got 4 plants vegitating under 190 watts. 3.5 foot x 1.5 foot area. i would like to keep it as cheap as posible. seeds were from mids that i had smoked. I figured that who ever is growing it must be doing it for mass production cause the bud wasn't the best. also i have gotten 2 simmiler plants, 1 super plant with mutipule branches(twice the size and leafs of all other plants and 1 short plant with a wide leaf all together. all from the same pack of bud.If you need any other info just ask idk a whole lot.

P.S. sorry cant post pics cause i dont have a digital camera but i hope to get 1 soon.

P.S.S. sorry for the typos and spelling

Like 4-5 nodes. It helps. When they have alternating nodes. No.
Don't know. Don't know.

BTW: Your hushmail eMail, in your signature, fine... don't use it for any online transactions... but your AIM address? That, probably, is easier to trace. I suggest you take it out.

thanks for the tip but whats a node? can u give me an example? and how many watts should i have?

A node = where the leaves come out of the stem.

And, because I'm psychic, I'm anticipating your next question:::

Alternating node = when the plant is young, leave sets (nodes) come ONE-on-the-left and ONE-on-the-right. When the plant is mature, the nodes are ONE-on-the-left, nothing on the right... a little further up the stem, ONE-on-the-right, nothing on the left. Alternating.

Watts... as much as you possibly can afford. Never too much.

can anyone answer the other 2 questions

How much genetic diversity is in seeds? can you tell if they are indica or savita by the way the leaves are shaped? (i thougt i herd the skinnier and longer leaves the more of a savita influence it had and the wider and shorter the leaves the more indica influnence)

thats right pulse remember indica is a better indoor plant cause it grows shortish and bushy where as sativa are better outdoor as they grow very tall

ok i still think theres something unigue with 1 of my plants it has been vegitateing for abotu 1 mounth and all other have well established typical marijana leaves but this one dont and im positvie it came from 1 of my seeds. it has thicker leaves than the rest and its leaves are shaped like only 3 leaves on a on 1 closter. also instead of the typical riging on the out side of the leave its smooth. is this something new or am i over reacting

probaly over reacting m8 yake a look at this thred http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=54706
me and my m8 legalizdahurb went halfs on some seeds and both planted one at the same time but the difrence between them boths is unbelievable
cheers hope this helps
