A friend of mine gave me a seed he found. I'm thinking about planting it in my backyard, but have a few questions.
If I allow it, around how tall will a plant grow?
What happens if I harvest too early?
I'd just thought I'd say, I don't even plan to take care of the plant
very much, this would be my first one so I just wanna experiment, see what happens...
You better check with your parent's before you plant that growing seed!
i'm new to growing myself, but there is a little more to it that just planting the seed and watching it grow. although, it's not completely unheard of!
So you want advise on how to put a seed in the ground?Quote:

It's all in the math...a half-assed attempt plus a half assed interest in learning the basics, equals 1 crappy result.
Experiment away. (however, reading CanCom's grow faq's may help)
i like what rusty said...........basically it all comes down to "you get what you put into it.".........with a half assed experiment you will get half assed results.
are you willing to risk security for a half assed result, i know i wouldnt be:twocents:
not totally true. theres a level of required care in order to make amazing buds, but its doable without much work as well. and remember, 95% of the plant problems on this site were caused by giving the plant TOO MUCH attention.Quote:

(outdoors expect 3-7 feet with minimal care and training)
2)if you harvest 1-2 weeks early, your buds wont be as potent. if you harvest 3-6 weeks early, you may have trouble just getting a buzz.
i dont see where you came up with that 95 percentage. out of the blue?
you read it yourself, the post said "i dont even plan to take care of the plant"....with that mentallity i dont see how you/anybody can get 'amazing buds' rather than if he does his research and puts some time in with his plants. still only my :twocents:
Ummm, hows he gonna let it get big or small? U want him to go outside and cover it with a tarp when its sunny??? Is that how he keeps it manageable?? I dont grow ouside, but im sorry i dont think he can manage the size of a plant as easily as u presume, when mama sunshine is beeting down on little baby MJ plant. :fish:Quote:

a plant can be kept small 2 ways:
1) you can cover it if you actually wanted, but its stupid
2) either prune it back constantly (and have a ludicrus number of branches as a result), or use training to keep it short and wide.
3) or you can plant later on in the season. :rasta:Quote:

Ok guys, thanks for the interesting replies. I have it inside a plastic Jiffy greenhouse, and since its Winter, I put it in my closet with a Compact fluorescent light. I'd say its about 2inches and has 4 little leaves. I must be doing something wrong because there are also 2 yellow spots on the leaves. Its looks like they've been burned to me. Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on my little experiment. :thumbsup:
oh yeah I forgot to add the temperature in my closet is about 65+
and I open the window a little in there often.
only one cfl?
you should have 2 daylight 23w cfls now, and plan to add a third in a week or 2
no nutirents until its got 4-5 leaf sets. if you havent given any yet, soil may just be "hot", but should be ok for now unless it worsens
There is a lot of water in the middle of the seedling, is that supposed to happed? Theres also less water on the ceiling of the greenhouse. I would assume that the seedling is taking up the water but just to be sure I'd thought I'd bring it up with you guys.
