Now i know this is cheap as hell, but this is more me trying to get the hang of things, and seeing if i can achually do it first before i start to seriously grow, ill keep you updated, and any tips and tricks for the "cheap" would be greatly appreiated.

Thanks Kriss

Good Luck to you krissyg :thumbsup: There's a lot of good people on this site to help you if you run into any problems. Do some searches, like watering, soil ph, lighting etc. There's a whole plethora of growin' info here to help you out also.
I started my first grow on the cheap too and learned a lot. Each grow after that got better and better.:jointsmile:

that is a lot of stretch. What kind of lights are you using, you could probably stand to lower them a little bit.


other than that, welcome.
I have found that cannabis growing is more rewarding than growing any thing else (but you should try other plants like tomatoes, it's also fun)

hey, thanks for your reply's, nice to be a member, and im glad to know help is on hand

Jtinger....im currently using two of these light bulbs and around 6/7 inches from the top of the stem

+1 to both parts,... Lower you lights,.... and also try some other plants, I love peppers, bit more challenging than tomatoes, and frankly I love spicy food!


Good luck and welcome aboard! :jointsmile:

[krissyg]

thanks for your tips guys, i have moved the lighting it now sits roughly 4inches from the top of the stem...

@canniwhatsis....Hey, thanks for posting in my topic, at the moment im just learning how to grow the basics really, but once i get the hang of it, the more fruits / vegtables i shall grow

Thanks

Well, after much thought, i bought a 400W grow light, and it has worked WONDERS with the plant, as you can see with the fans, im having alot of trouble venting the hot air from the light, so if you have any ideas? would be greatly appreciated, anyway, picture time!!!






thanks

Still amateur but not the cheapest anymore

-Big pot
-LST
-No foils. Correct materials or white paint.
-Exhaust
-If you don't want vegetables, strawberry or melon can be a good idea

LOL! Tevfic...good observation! Welcome Krissyg! Tev's right...you may be a rookie, but now you'll need to make that light pay for itself! Ak is my fav...I'm in the middle of harvest now, but thought I would take a break and encourage you. Fans, fans, fans are what ya need now...be careful...weed may not be addictive, but growing it is! Get a ph meter and start using it now and have fun! And read, read, read! Just about everything you could possibly want to know is here somewhere! You might want to consider topping , FIM, or LST to get the most from your plant and light. Looks good so far! :thumbsup:
