so my first grow went great thank the lord! dank ass buds!!! but i need to know what is next for a first timer, and what i need to do with my buds as far as curing goes.

So first ? is what do i do with the soil left in the pots. its happy frog and ocean forrest.

2nd how long do i need to cure to get the best results i live in the south btw if that helps

3rd could i use my 600w mh for the seedling stage

4th anyway to get the bag seed plant i had going agin? i still have the skeloton in the soil?

5th what should i be working on to improve my game as far a first timer goes. its obivious i have a green tumb!!

I would say to cure for 1-2 weeks but it really depends on whether you want the bud real crispy or have a softer feel. The MH is probably a little too much for the seedlings. Currently I have some seedlings and I haven't used the 400w MH yet. That's all I really got hope it helps.

i dont know much about curing as i never really grow enough to cure it long enough mines normally gone to quick lol,get rid of the soil throw it away,no 600w will just fry your seedlings,i normally just use a simple houshold fluorescent for the first week of the seedling and then a 200wcfl it needs to have a strong backbone before you stick it under the big guns,and if youve left any folliage on the lower level of the skeleton it can re grow to get a few cuttings,search the net for this method or it will prob be here on riu and to up your game work on quality and then work on quantity

u take it and fill in any holes in the yard or around u ...............if got none then put it in a trash bag go some place and dump that root ball keep the planter


to cure 100% correctly is about a 2 month thing ............get a cure/dry rack ..........hang it some place that is dry dark and has air movement ........lay it out there let it go for 7 days .........after the 7th day starts u can clip and trim down put them in glass jars (i use mason quarts to 1 oz)
jared every 3 4 days open up the jars let the air move in and out for like 20 mins then cap it .........do this for 2 weeks then u move it to once a week u burp the jars after 3/4 weeks of that u are done with 100% cured weed .........during this cure time u keep them in a cool dark place (temps above 80 bad and light bad)


no your MH is to strong for seedlings and dimming the bulbs shortens life of them............cfls or a t5 set up for the hits 7 to 10 days of veggie then u can move it to MH or direct sunlight (veggie does not start untill the first true leaf comes in not that little baby one )

4 i got no answer

5th always up your game i am pulling 2 oz out of plants that they said lucky to get 1 oz ...............my personal vote is always autoflowering since i can grow more kinds in a year in the same area as u doing photos ..............my best so far is just short of 7 oz off one plant .............learn pratice try more ideas aslong as the results end with breaking even or profit go mad
