    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Okay! So I've read the first 300 pages of this thread, and I have decided I'm building this system. My only question feels like a stupid one; the plants drain nuts/water from the reservoir, do I add nutrients to bring PPM to the desired level when adding water? Or do you bring PPM up initially...

    Putting in soil tomorrow. Right bulb choice?

    Rad. Thanks, man. Sorry to be asking sooo many questions, but when exactly do I begin flowering, and is 68W the equivalent of 6500K? I already have the 2700K, and the wattage is 14.

    Putting in soil tomorrow. Right bulb choice?

    I also need to pick up a lamp, and it has to be affordable. I'm planning on going to Home Depot, and most of what I'm looking at is labeled incandescent, but can something like this...

    Putting in soil tomorrow. Right bulb choice?

    Well, my first plant is going in the soil tomorrow night. I'm doing it in my closet, and am planning on using a 6500K CFL on 24/7 for the vegetative stage and 2700K at 12/12 for flowering. Just thought I would double check with people who know something about this before I do something...

    How close should they be to CFLs?

    Quick question about a plant's sex.

    So, I'm super new to growing. My first seed is germinating as I type(just picked it out of a sack, so it isn't feminized or anything). What I am curious about is whether a plant has both male pollen sacks and the female buds? Or are they exclusive per plant? bongsmilie

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    Yeah, I'm not preparing to get like, six ounces out of the plant. Lol. This is more of an experiment, especially because the sack I got the seed out of wasn't exceptional to start with, :). So, Fox Farms, and somebody mentioned Perlite? I did a little bit of reading and the general consensus...

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    Where would one acquire auto flowers? Soil is another thing I'm clueless about. I read Widow Maker's "How to grow Marijuana" sticky, and figured I would find one of the three soils he mentioned, since he seemed to get solid results from them all. Miracle Grow, Scott's, and Fox Farms are what he...

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    I'm sorry. I have no idea what an auto is, and no clue what 18/6 is referring to. Is that the light/no light ratio?

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    Oh, I'm definitely not looking to sell. I live in a tiny town and everybody who sells gets caught, no matter what. I do have a few seeds that I got in the last sack I bought, should I just see if they will sprout and start experimenting? Sorry to be suuuch a newbie, but is there a post/video...

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    Father, yes. Mother, blissfully unaware. Did a little research(probably should have done that before I posted), and was looking at feminized AK-48? The main attraction to that particular strain for me is the fast finish they advertise. Suitable for the environment I plan on using?

    First grow- gonna' be crap?

    So... Been smoking for yearss, but I'm tired of buying weed. Really, really tired of buying weed. Haha. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so we've got some decent stuff around, I'm just straight broke and finding a new job is proving difficult. So basically what I want to know is if the simple...
