[hotnorthernguy]

Well like I said to all of you the last time I tried growing and asking for help that I would be back.Well anyway's had so many guys put me down and insult me cause I posted pics of my first grow and asked questions on what to do and what to use that I turned out to be the laughing stock of the chatroom for awhile so I just took the plants and threw them into the garbage!.....But not this time.I started growing again and I have just one plant so I can see what it take's and what kind of real help I'll get from people on here this time?...I decided just because a few wannabee growers put me down for attempting to enjoy growing that at least I don't pretend to know what I'm doing.I'm a first time grower and I know I will need help along the way to truly be a good grower and that's why I'm here today to say thank you in advance for the help that the true growers on here will offer whenever I will need help and advice!....Anyway's here are a few pics of my plant that I just started to grow.....this plant just started as of March 14th,2007 hope u like it so far?...I know I'm happy

Don't ever let anyone put you down for asking questions. That is how we learn.

A good general guide for growing is

http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...cts-guide.html

This will answer most beginner's questions.

If you have a problem or question ask me or any other experienced grower.

We will need to know what lighting you are using and what fertilizers or nutrients you are using.

Remember seedlings don't need fertilizers for the first few weeks, as it will burn them.

Good luck, do your research and ask if you have questions.

Good for you for trying again, but at the same time, you should always take everything said on the internet with a grain of salt. I've found that lots of people go online purely to be assholes, because they themselves don't have any self-confidence to be proud of, and can only feel good about themselves by deriding others.

So tell us about your grow!

thanx for the support folks,well here goes...these seeds were found inan OZ of WhiteRhino I had bought and I decide to try growing them again.This time I had them in a paper towel that I kept wet for 3days and then it sprouted and then I put into potting soil and then another 3days went by and this is what I have!...I'm doing an experiment with this plant.From sunrise it is placed in my window till sundown and then in a dark corner with no light what so ever for about 11hrs and it seem's to be going great!!!!!!!...Looking foward to how this method will workout for me?...I still have another 15 seeds just incase this doesn't workout....LOL....like I said I'm new and just want to see if I have a green thumb for growing and if I do well lookout cause the others will be awsome..LOL......here are some better pics I took of my plant today....remember this is just day 6 of the growing process and thanx to all for the future advice and encouragement you give me!!!!!!

I started my first grow (which i'm currently on) the same way, but I quickly found that I had to get serious about an indoor grow "system", if I was going to get any sort of yield from the plants. Also found that starting them off growing in the window somewhat stunted their growth, as now they're kinda short, but really thick and full. I'd have liked them to have grown taller, but I'm LSTing them anyway, so maybe I'm wishing for something i didn't really want...

I let them sun grow for about two weeks, and two of them got to be pretty large (for seedlings), but they I don't think they would have grown into something budworthy. Maybe you can do better, but I definately couldn't have.

You might want to invest in a rubbermaid tub growbox setup or the like. it's not THAT expensive to get a decent growbox together, and i think in the long run you'll be much happier for it.

Whatever you choose to do though, good luck and enjoy!

Thanks Primus I'll look into that and see what I prefer?....Like I said this one is just an experimental plant and if everything work's out good, then I'll get semi-hightech LOL.....wish you luck on your grow

Ditto.....the only dumb question is the one you never asked.

Have a good grow!:jointsmile:

Looking Good!!

Ok folks,How do I stop it from stretching so much?....I'de like to see it start to leaf out....does it take a long time for it to start leafing out?....so what should be my next step to do?......and when should I start using nutes?

[Primus]

it's going to stretch quite a bit if it's only source of light is daylight. With mine it took about a week and a half until I started seeing nodes. You'll probably have to stake it to keep it upright too, because a lot of the plant's energy is being put towards growing upward (to find light) rather than outward. The only real way to stop it from stretching is to give it some artificial light.

As far as when to start using nutes, you should probably hold off for a while until you start to see some side branches, and then only use nutes at a very weak strength, like 1/8 normal dose.

I hope that helps.
