so i am thinking about growing but i only know a little about growing so who can help me out
check out all the grow forums on the front page :)
Not trying to sound bitchy, but there is a whole other forum on this site dedicated just to growing.. indoors, outdoors, cabinet.. you name it.
You'd probably have better luck on those boards getting questions answered correctly. :)
Well, no one. Not on this forum.
The BEST advice ANYONE could possibly give you, is simple.
READ. READ. And when you die, and your brain dribbles out through your ears, READ some more.
Read the FAQs, and then ask questions in the grow forums, where people will respond with an answer.
But dont ask questions before you've read everything.
Seriously.
No point going about it hlaf assed, do it right, and smoke it all night.
Goodluck on your quest for knowledge.
See I told you, if you're gonna grow you gotta do it PERFECT!
Read, then grow, read some more, grow some more. Growing is all about educating yourself, then using that knowledge to run trial and error until you get it right. Some people who really want to put the time and effort into growing a good smoke, will get it down on their first or second grow. I have seen some peoples first grows come out amazing because they really wanted to learn.
If you're not into learning it and just want free smoke quick quick quick, then it is going to take you a few times, and who knows, you may never get it right if you really don't want to.
It's like people who want to lose weight, do they really want to, or did it seem like a good idea at the time.
Read the growing forums here, ask questions, read the FAQ's, get the basics down and start growing.
Good luck.
Ok me an tyco are growing together, we decided. I think we're going to grow indoors but not hydro. Thanks whatever you said finally made him agree to do it perfect because before he just wanted to put a plant under a lamp.
If you're just starting out, don't fill your head with info. that is not needed at the time. Skim the basics, then concentrate on the first step, once you get the first step beat, then move onto the next and focus only on that stage.
Growing comes in 3 basic steps: Germination, Vegetative, and Flowering.
Read about germination, concur that step, then move onto the next. That's what I did anyways and it gave me a good handle on each step in great detail.
Thanks you don't know how much that helps, I was trying to cram all the info in my head but what you just said made me realize I need more time. I think I may practice with legal plants first.
If you want to practice with legal plants first, learn basic tomato growing. Cannabis and tomatos have almost the exact same growing pattern. Catnip is a good one to practice on as well.
I suggest practicing on some bagseed. The seeds are free, so why not.
Growing cannabis is not really that complicated at all.
Germination requires only dampness and a dark room. Take 2 paper towels, take a saucer plate, take one paper towel, soak, place seeds on top of first layer, place another layer on top, soak. Keep the paper towel moist at ALL time, but no sitting water either.
Once your seed pops and gets a small taproot, you can now transplant to dirt.
Once you have that step done and down, read about Vegetative growth, what is needed, then do it. Give yourself a few days to read and gather supplies for the next step, then do it. The best way to learn is to grow it, make your mistakes, then not make those mistakes again. Some people make no mistakes hardley. It's like learning to play an instrument. Sure, you can read about it, but when the time comes to play, you have no clue what to do. :p
If you ever need growing advice, just ask. :)
I have heard that tomatos make good plants to practice on... Maybe it's just because people like the way they look, and they are good for making pizza. :DQuote:

Cramming everything in your head in a couple days and starting a grow would be difficult...
1 Day research on Germinating
1 Day pick a box and get the mylar + fans + thermometer in there
Begin germinating... this gives you about a week to research veg lights and nutes
Begin veg... this gives you about 4-8 weeks to study flowering. :) Plenty of time!
Begin flowering... this gives you 4-8 weeks to study drying and curing, also hash making if that's what you want to do...
Harvest and enjoy!
Another thing to mention, is the cost of everything will be spread out nicely versus dropping a few hundred bux on a box in one day, and then deciding later you want something different. :)
