I am VERY new to all of this... I was in a serious trucking accident.. I have been given Morphine 100mg and Oxycodone 30mg... It does NOT help.. Smoking & eating cannabis HAS HELPED me.... I am able to function better...


Again, I am VERY new to this.. Lights I have T-12 fluorescent (running 24/7). temps are 77-83 degrees Humidity is at 33-38.. <--- What are the ideal settings for room temps and humidity??

2)Also, I just planted a sprouted seed in a 5 gallon grow medium <---- do I need a bigger container?? I have several drain holes and I planted just 1 seed in some GREAT soil....

3) from seed (I just planted today) about what time from am I looking at to start reaping my reward??

4) when do I start changing the lights over to start growing some buds?? and what are the light settings and when?? Is it a few weeks and what?? 18 hrs daylight and 6 hrs of dark

5) I have heard of CO2 <---- BUT where do you get that at???

I do NOT know what type or kind I am growing I got the seeds from a friend of a friend of a friend <--- I know thats a REAL dumb idea.. I just wanted to give it a try and see what all happens... Some have said they are skunks <--- is that a good strain?? OR which one is better and from where????
I also have a fan blowing on them just about 18 to 24 hours a day.. light 24 hours a day..

I know that plant food is too early BUT what is the best and where do you get it at??? what should i be looking for?? Is Miracle-Gro all purpose plant food will that do??? what should i look for as plant food???

I have read some BUT I learn better by trial and error.... at times I just want some expert advice.... Thats why I call myself Darfurian :) smile We all have to start from somewhere

Your temps sound good...

t12s will work for veg... but I recommend HPS and/or cfl when it comes time to flower...

A 5 gal. bucket is plenty, it all depends how big you want to grow your plant...

Rule of thumb 1 gal. per a foot... I bud 3 ft. plants in 3 gal. pots...

You can do 24/7 or 18/6 as long as you'd like to veg the plant to desired size, it won't start to bud until you flip the switch to 12/12...

You could do 12/12 from seed for a small plant... but if you want a larger one I'd suggest a minimum of 4 weeks ( I personally veg for 8-10 weeks )

So if you transplanted your seedling today, vegged for 8 weeks, and flower for 8 weeks (give or take) you could reap your rewards in 4 months time, throw another 4 weeks on that for a good cure...

There's plenty of homemade ways to introduce co2 to your garden, like a 2 liter bottle with a hose and some vinegar and baking soda...

There are way more sufficient ways of getting and using co2, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner... Get a grow or two under your belt before worrying about that...

There's plenty of good plant foods... miracle grow all purpose isn't the best, but is better than nothing IMO...

You just need to make sure to pay attention to the NPK levels on your plant food...

Veggin' plants require higher N (Nitrogen) foods and flowering plants need more of the P&K (Phosphorous & Potassium).

Hope this helps and good luck with your grow! :eyesmoke:

try searching the sites and read other peoples ideas.

also, for all the answers to your questions, Marijuana Horticulture, The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Growers Bible, Jorge Cervantes, 2006. google that, there may be a free copy online you can read. it has everything laid out very clean.

This is your baby: where do you shop? Got Miracle Gro? Start Nutrients half strength indoor when first leaves yellow needs food! Then ease up to full strength given time and patience up to outdoor mix. Have fun it is a long run!

1. nights cooler? 83 daytime like outdoors 73 night? Again, I am VERY new to this.. Lights I have T-12 fluorescent (running 24/7). temps are 77-83 degrees Humidity is at 33-38.. <--- What are the ideal settings for room temps and humidity??

2) early or long strain? I had tomatoes in 53 days Also, I just planted a sprouted seed in a 5 gallon grow medium <---- do I need a bigger container?? Tomatoes grew to 8 feet in 5 gal. depends on water and neuts!!I have several drain holes and I planted just 1 seed in some GREAT soil....

3) early or long strain? from seed (I just planted today) about what time from am I looking at to start reaping my reward??

4) read about pre flower when you can sex them them start changing the lights over to start growing some buds?? and what are the light settings and when?? Is it a few weeks and what?? 18 hrs daylight and 6 hrs of dark

5) I have heard of CO2 <---- BUT where do you get that at??? Your new at this get a couple grows then start throwing money at it.

12/12 is a start >>I do NOT know what type or kind I am growing I got the seeds from a friend of a friend of a friend <--- I know thats a REAL dumb idea.. I just wanted to give it a try and see what all happens... Some have said they are skunks <--- is that a good strain?? OR which one is better and from where????
I also have a fan blowing on them just about 18 to 24 hours a day.. light 24 hours a day..
When the first leaves turn yellow start half strength indoor Miracle Gro then follow directions
I know that plant food is too early BUT what is the best and where do you get it at??? what should i be looking for?? Is Miracle-Gro all purpose plant food will that do??? what should i look for as plant food???
