Oi!

So, i have just gotten a pretty little sprout. and like i posted before, i am looking to keep this a very ToP S3kreT MisShun.. as in concealed.. it will be a closet grow in my apartment. In that case, i need to constrict its growth and was wondering from anybody who knows.. if i let this baby veg for say.. a month.. how long should i let her flower?

also.. for all you closet growers.. i found a nice way to avoid the high electricity bill.. just cut back on the use of your dishwasher.. i did that and put my computer into hibernate when we aren't at home, and my bill actually went down like 10 bucks

This is the growth stages

1. Seedling...for the first 3 weeks of your plants life it is in it's seedling stage.

2. Vegatative...after week 3 your plant will enter it's vegging stage...it can last for as little as 1 week if you want, or you can make it veg for many months...best is to let the plant show it's preflowers.

3. Flowering...is done when ever you want the plant to start...usually alot of people let the plant get about 4-5 weeks old and then induce flowering, i however like to wait till preflower's are showing then i start flowering stage, just mean the plant is ready and mature to start it's flowering stage, and also to, the more you let the plant mature...the better the bud will be as well. Flowering stage will be anywhere from 8-11 weeks depending on strain.

To keep your plant shorter...top it when it get's about 7 nodes on the stem...it will then start to grow 2 or more cola's instead of just 1 long one, and the plant will be fatter then taller.

No problem...any question's just ask, we're all here to help. Look at my gallery and you'll see a plant that was topped. If i did't top it, it would probably be about twice as tall.

one more thing.. i can't exactly decide if these other seeds are healthy.. and i can't afford to germinate a bunch of seeds i cant grow because i only have room/equipment for 1.. i wish i had a cam but to describe them.. dark brown.. shiny slightly hard shell but i know the inside is all meaty, and no cracks in the shell itself.. input?

i know to be patient.. i just was wondering if they are healthy enough to start with.. i havent tried germinating them because i can only afford 1 plant at a time for now

hahah oh man.. sorry about being unclear.. this is my first day off work in a couple weeks and im a bit slow today hahaha.. I have one plant already. I want to do another when this one finishes.. I am not sure what to look for when trying to determine healthy seeds. what do healthy seeds look like?

To be honest just 1 plant is not such a good idea...always chances of it dying, or turning male...best to do at least 5 seeds...then just take your best female...if you get 1, and just clone it.

You want to look for dark seeds with stripes through it...those are usually your best bet. Green and pale looking seeds are of no good to you at all.
