There is a vast bank of growing knowledge here.. you just need to know how to use it. We can't really help ya out without specific problems or things you need help with. My best.. very best advice for you...and ANYONE that's taken the time to consider growing.

Buy a Book.

A Marijuana Growing Book.

There are so many things (very basic things) that you'll need to know. These very basic things aren't things that need 3 or 4 opinions about (lighting cycle,growing medium..etc). So go get a book! borrow one, buy one.. or download one. It's the only way to go!

Also check out the FAQ's and some other people's setups to give you ideas.

Cheers! Bob.

Ok yea, i guess thanks. I just dont have time, i searched about a bit, but like i didnt really get any help. I did look, didnt expect here to just come and bum off your all knowledge. But please can you help...?

Lighting? 1 plant, indoors. Setup? roughly...
Simple Germenating

Then i can find out about lighting times and all that...

If you don't have the time to read about it. then you don't have the time to do it. It's all about the pre-germination preperation. It's a time consuming, resource consuming hobby that doesn't always produce 4 or 5 ounces per plant.

If you jump head first into the water.. there's no garuntee's you'll re-surface. ..If you know what i mean.

You'll find alot of the answers to your questions on these boards.. you just have to look for them. There's a Search option you can use to search keywords.. try things like "Germination" and "Light Cycles" ...stuff like that. check out the FAQ's. there's alot of answers around you.. you just gotta look

Happy hunting and if you are really stuck..of course you can ask.

Thanks all for your help.

Ok, please answer this...
If im growing indoors, just 1 plant, in a closet/cuboard, what lights should i have? I dont know what bud im growing yet just some seeds i got in my weed. Im just testing out, so i have no desire to kane all my money on it. So lights... and errr where can i find out about the times the lights should be on and off? And when do i have to change that time?

Hello W Firstly you are planning to grow some seeds that you found in you're weed, personally love I would have to say don't bother with them as they are highly unlikely to have been pollinated so nothing will grow.
Seeds can be found in unpollinated plants, I had a few in my last grow.
The good news is you come from England and seeds are perfectly legal here so I would recomend buying Sensi seeds, you can get these from grow shops, market stalls, mail order or direct on line .................

As for lights, well they do cost, that can't be escaped I'm affraid
I use a combination of Metal Halide for the vegitive growing.......this is run on a cycle of 18 hours on 6 hours off.
When inducing flowering I use a High Pressure Sodium bulb and this is run on a 12 hours on and 12 hours off cycle.
As for other forms of lighting the guys on here would have to tell you about that, as I have a very limited knowledge of them.


One thought you might consider doing W, if you really don't want to go into exspense, then try outdoor growing. The problem is we have a short growing season for cannabis in the UK, which means that you would have to start you're plants next year in springtime and would be harvesting around the end of next September/early October. It can be done I did my very first crop like that

A good variety for growing outdoors in the UK is Mexican Sativa which is also cheap at around £10 for 30 seeds, and does produce quite a reasonable bud

Ok thanks alot.

When you say 'vegitive growing' do you mean like, as it just growing, before buds start to form? then when they form you change your light? Can i just one light and use that all the way though? Like does it REALLY matter? Im just looking for simple bud here, nothing to deep.
Errm and can you not tell if there female untill the so big? I have seen pics of how to tell... but is there no other way of knowing before you start propper growing it?
Also if you can just tell me the name for the best light i would kneed, that would be awesome. Thanks again for your help.
