Welcome New Members! Read this before posting!

Hey everyone...coming to you from Cali. This past summer my uncle gave me 2 seedlings (unknown strains) to see what I can do with them. BTW I work at a growing media plant, so I have some knowledge in regards to soils, pH, etc. Yet in regards to cannabis...it was all new to me. Especially since (please don't hate me) I don't smoke. That didn't stop me from watching countless youtube videos and reading numerous blogs/forums to obtain as much info as possible. One of the two seedlings ended up being a male and therefore was disposed of. I just finished harvesting the female a few weeks ago and even though I made numerous mistakes, I enjoyed the whole process. I've already ordered my 1st batch of feminized seeds (https://www.swarleyseeds.com/) with the hopes that I've learned from my mistakes & will be able to provide peeps with some legit stuff. I just don't know if I can wait till next season or if I should give indoor growing a try.

Hello,
Just signed up on RIU. Been growing since 2008 and wanted to join since im on this site reading all the time.bongsmilie hope to see you guys around the site.
 
Just joined up and I'm from Australia. Unfortunately, almost everything weed-based is illegal here. We have a very dumb government. A relative recently gave me a couple of ounces of dried leaf that I'm currently trying to convert into cannabutter. Fingers crossed!
 
Morning All , I think today is the last day I can say HAPPY NEW YEAR ! For those of you in the freeze, stay warm and keep those plants alive ! -MVP

Greetings all!! Just signed up but been lurking for some time now. 20 yrs experience under my belt but always open to learning. Big on water only and living soil.
 
Greetings from Southwestern New York...!!! I am back growing after a 20+ year hiatus, and legally this time... Still stealth growing using a small 2 x 2 x 4 grow cabinet... Loving LED's (primarily SIL's) compared to the Fluorescent's, HPS, and MH lighting I was using years ago... Currently using nylon rope wicking pots and soil, my preferred watering method, but have also used inert mediums as well as ebb and flow hydroponics...

Thanks... Very true... Been missing growing... Have picked up a few new hobbies but the calling was too great and had to return...
I hear ya with the "other" hobbies. I dabbled with cubensis mushrooms for some time and then went full blown into medicinal and gourmet. Same thing with craft beer.
I never stopped growing tho. The mycology side has bulk substrates that are spent and turned into compost for the garden, and the brewing has malted grains, hopsfor the worm farms and yeast for a powerhouse nitrogen addition in AACT.
And just the money saved by DIY of those three is immense.

Hey everybody, I'm 59 years old and going to retire in a couple years and I just found out I have glaucoma. I smoked and grew inside and outside in the 70's and 80's. I live in Southern California and will be getting a medical m card. I have
n't smoked since 97' and the reason being I'm a truck driver and we have DOT drug testing. I plan to start growing in 1 year so I'm trying to get current on indoor growing. I have money to invest and I wanted to try a good led system like maybe grow pro in a 4x4 tent. With soil. Also looking for good medical strain for glaucoma.
Don't buy a 4x4 .too small.you will only fit one plant.always get more than you need then you won't be wishing you did.
Good luck with your gro.

Hi All,

On my 2nd grow ever and have ran into an autoflower white widow mutation that is supposedly very rare (no idea). It grows like a vine and has turned into something resembling rosemary (sort of). Will be posting photos but wanted to say hi. This mutation has made me finally join a forum because I would like to know a) what y'all think and b) how should I harvest this thing? Trichomes coat so much more surface area. Don't want to screw this up.
