Hey i just started growing three bluberry dutch and one G-13 Armagedon and so far all three are pretty small sprouts(About an inch). I just had a couple of questions for people who know what there talking about cause i dont lol. How much should i be watering it? How long will it be until i start to see the sex? And how long should i keep the light cycle on 24/0. Get back to me soon.

Thanx,
Newbiegrower12

Water the plants every few days..You can water them and wait for the soil to dry out before watering them again..But do not over water the plants! Marijuana like's water but not alot!...You will not be able to tell the sex of the plants until they completed Veg. stage..(apx. 5-8weeks, depending on lights and other things)
Keep the lights on 24hrs throughout the whole veg. stage..Some people prefer 18on 6off. but i do 24hrs on, because it speeds the process up by 15%.
Once the plant's are Large with a quite a bit of leave's. Switch the lights to 12/12.
But do not do this until the plants have been growing for atleast 6 weeks i would say. You can wait longer. The longer u have your plants in veg. stage the larger they will be and the more bud they will produce. But not all growers have time to keep there plants on for several weeks after the average time to switch to bloom.
Cheers!
good luck on your grow!

I suggest you wait about two weeks before you actually water again. Until then use a spray bottle to keep the soil moist. I also suggest you stay away from 24/0 except for clones. plants grow at night. I suggest you do your best to reproduce the environment the plants have evolved to thrive in.

Sex will show when it shows; noone can tell you when exactly...just the way it is.

I dont know what that guy is talking about...Do some research and you will find out that it is perfectly healthy for a plant to live in the veg.stage for 24hrs on.
Alot of growers do it.. Why you may ask? because it speeds up the growth! Proven FACT!
u can also do 18/6.. but 24hrs onn. is best!

yeah this is true...many people advise people to do 18/6 just because they hear it and believe it...but ppl's actual reason for that is because they think that they need a dark stage to process their stored glucose(made during light hours) into energy...but many have found that marijuana has the ability to do this process non stop in the plant...now one reason that is legit to not go 24/0 is sometimes this can cause light burn...it can also hike up your electric bill a little more....good luck:mrgreen:

BULLSHIT!!!
OVBVIOUSLY YOU LACK THE EXPERIENCE YOU CLAIM TO HAVE.:confused:
THE ONLY POSITIVE THING 24hrs. has it will PREVENT FLOWERING!!
I HAVE HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS.
PLANTS DO GROW DURING NIGHT CYCLE.

yeah they grow during dark stage but they grow more during light stage...it can depened from plant to plant...but usually 24/0 is all around better other than price..and it may cause it to burn.:joint:

lol ya ppl seem to not go there haha...

but that's why it was created lol...

ok look... first off, get your plants out of 24/0 life cycle... there is a big argument on growth... and Yes i'm a firm believer, plants grow during the dark cycle ... 18 on 6off... set your timer for 18/6 if you dont have a timer, go get one... and as for watering... if your in the seedling / veg stage.. you can over water very very very easily... if you do not have the money or resources to buy a light meter use common sence and a basic test... pick up your pot and feel the weight of the pot first off... if it feels very light and looks very dry on top that's almost an indication that it needs watered... next.. stick your index finger an inch down the side of the pot .. is it dry ? then water, if it's moist then dont water, very very easy... another good way is take another pot that doesn't have anything growing in it and fill it with the same soil composition as the soil your growing in and leave it dry... pick it up and use it as a reference,, when your pots feel like that pot water... get what i'm saying ? as for everything else... do what almost... "almost" every one else does here and read read read... when you become stumped and cant seem to figure it out after you've read then create a thread ... :)

Good luck and happy growing...
