first go at growing

Hello I became a MMP inlays Sept. I broke the bank for my hid,nutes, testers, soil, ect. Prolly a dumb move but whatever. I cannot afford to order seeds or buy clones from the locals.I'm using handmedown and bag seeds.I can only have 12 plants. 3 I know are skunk that was prolly stressed to hermie, 4 I was told are amnisia, and I have a bag full of random. How can I tell the green from the brown and the good from the bad in and in the earliest stage of growth possible? ?? I could really use the help. Thanks. And I will post pics as soon as there more than 2 leaf sprouts .

Well, they look healthy. I would say they have a bit of nutrient burns, especially the one on the left/bottom. Plants this size don't require much in the way of nutes. Your next step is to determine their sex. I suggest you read up on that.

you veg them, when you are ready to flower you start flowering and monitor the plants closely and be on the look out for any plants with male pollen sacs and remove the male plants from the grow room and kill them so you dont end up with seeds in yor buds. or you make a cuting (clone) from each plant that looks the best in your 12 seeds and identify your clones to know what plant it came from. when the clone are ready flower them and identify the males from female clones. And use the mother plants that you identified as females to make clones for your next grow!

go to the gardening store what they sell there for all plants is gona be fine cheap and effective, it does not have to always be expensive and bought from an hydroponics store to work,plants are plants.Well most of the time in the basic aspect of the thing! seaweed extracts are just seeweed extracts and liquid worm castings... you get where i"m going!

It's been gone for a couple weeks now, I also had a huge male (fan leaves bigger than notebook paper). My problem now is I think I got a little mute burn on a couple but, there's a little yellowing and everything I read says that's low N. I don't want to risk more burn but I don't want to starve them.

That flowering pic with all the plants in veiw.. It looks just like a scrog,if you don't veiw the plant count. Looks good!:thumbsup:

It's gonna be cold all week here,with a chance of snow 3 of 7 day forecast. I saw a heater at homedepot. It's a ceramic heater with a thermostat and it occsilates. Tower type. Digital display,too.

I just think personally that the kerosene heater is not a safe or cost effective manner of heating.. Even for human use,as a heat source.. I'm sure you would want an honest answer,without the BS,right?

Looks great man good work. Are those nug pics after they were dried and now they're ready for curing? Or whats the status on those?

I'm guessing this is all for your own personal smoke, correct? That being the case.. something I like to do during harvest/dry time is to trim my buds up about as much as you have trimmed them there, and put all those trimmings into their own bag for making hash or whatever you might want to do with them. Then I would take my buds and trim them further until they're nice, tight nuggets with no external leaves exposed by trimming all of the leaves even with the outer most flowers. I take those trimmings and put them in their own separate bag and use those to roll blunts/joints or any other type of large pack form of smoking since they are plenty frosty for smoking purposes. Since I don't like to smoke a whole lot at once or go for a strong "buzz", I prefer just enough to feel good. If I use the "round 2" trimmings and roll a blunt, I can sit there and puff on it for a while taking a fair amount of tokes, without getting too overwhelmed because they're a bit less potent than the buds.

End result is you get a nice bag of quality shake, ready for rolling/packing. And in addition to that your buds will be perfectly manicured without feeling like you lost something from excessive trimming. Personally I just enjoy the feeling of smoking a "cigar" while I'm just hangin' out, and a big joint of powerful buds is just too much for me.

Don't take this the wrong way and think I am saying you didn't trim your buds well enough because they look great. Just suggesting my personal preferences since its your first time growing. Oh and I almost forgot... the extra detailed trimming has another hidden benefit... its a great excuse to sit around and examine/stare at your hard earned harvest.
