Hey, I'm new here. New to smoking and growing. Smoked for my first time about 2 months ago, now I ordered some seeds and will be planting 1 or 2 plants soon. I'll make a post in the outdoor forum.

Thought I would come in and post here, as I have been lopin' around for a week or so. I am new to growing, and have a small CFL set-up going, with soil. I will eventually go hydro, but I am very cool with what I got at the moment- it's moving at my pace.
I am a little concerned one main issue- nutrients. I have started them out with Miracle Grow, so I know they are okay for a few weeks, but what about after that? I have time, and I am in no hurry, and I plan to let my plants veg for at least another month or two. What should I be feeding them in this stage? I know it's gotta be more Nitrogen than anything, but any recommendations on some brands or specific supplements?
Other than that, so far so good, and I know this community has all the knowledge I need to continue on...awesome website, awesome clan!
Nice to meet y'all, and thanks for all of your support and help.

Hey everyone Ive been on here a few weeks and really enjoying this site. I havent got around to the newbie threads becuase I took it more as new to growing tomato plants instead of new to the site. I am a very small grower out of california (strictly under the prop 215 guidlines) Ive been a patient for about 4 years now and every year I enjoy getting more involved. Not necessarily with growing I always keep it under my limit, but as far as spreading the good word of what medical MJ does for people. There are very narrow minded people out there and if one person can make a difference why not try. As far as growing It has become a passion of mine. I enjoy everything from start to finish and enjoy learning many new things. Shit almost want to start growing vegetables. SERIOUSLY. Growing up I had many issues like ADD, Axniety and even drug addiction. ( have been clean for almost 6 years now from perscription drugs and all other drugs) Im a firm believer in vitamins and organic supplements. MJ has literally illiviated my axniety and I have become an even more productive person becuase of it. Ive had great paying jobs since I started using MJ medicinally and just want to share my experiences with you guys. Sorry if Im going too in depth but just wanted to introduce myself and what Im about. I still have many questions about growing ( I dont care to know names or any personal info just advice) and the political side to medical MJ and anyone willing to help in the future just know that it is much appreciated. thanks again everyone and happy tokin

victor when leaching every 2 weeks assuming you mean flushing are you following the flush with more nutrients??? I flush once a week but as soon as I flush I follow with a fresh batch of nutes. This illeviates robbing your plants of nutes and still flushes the nasty stuff. And like people said above removing the bottom portion of the plant will help focus the plants energy on bigger colas. If your looking for pop corn nugs then just let the plant go. If your looking for big long colas veg your stuff for however long you do and right before you switch to flowering cut of 1/3 of the bottom portion. When you about 10-14 days from harvest stop using nutes and use just water and maybe even some clearex or some kind of solution that rids the salts for about a week. Then when your about 3 days from finish use just water. They also have products like final flush that help rid the salts and add flavor.

check your equipment, you might need to invest in some stuff like a chiller or air conditioner for the fresh air, any will do, alittle space heater to control the humidity plus a thermometer to always check it, then fans well one will work, i used two an ocilating fan and a air ionizer that helped with both the smell and air movement, that should help sustain your plants for as long as you want.

sorry guys....i posted in the wrong place and i cant figure out how to delete it...ive never really used a forum before.....I am new to growing in fact this is my first grow. i am using a rubbermaid tub 29"L x 20"W x 16"D and lined with heavy duty aluminum foil with 5 cheap wally world 24" grow strip lights that claim 17 watt input 75 watt light output but all the bulbs are 20 watt full spectrum putting out about 4000 lumens i think with a 4"cpu muffin fan for air circulation. i have 6 plants that are about 4 weeks old and i topped em an bent all the branches down and ran em along the ground letting the tops grow up towards the light. when they get too close to the light i just shape em some more. i have tons of beautiful looking leaves except for what looks like dried out brown tips on some that extend down the ridges of a couple and it looks like i have alot more plants than what i do. i have been in to 12/12 light/dark for 3 days. i would greatly appreciate ANY advice anyone would like to give on any part of my setup.....thanks very much in advance

HAHAHAHAHAHA, he probably just watered it every day and drowned it, that is the number one problem for new growers. Welcome to our forum both of you.VVski high Quote:

No, you do not have to, most of us want to so that we maximize production. No one forces us to. VV
Welcome pothead. VV
Bingo, you should quit worrying, and wait a day or two or not its your choice. If you put them in a dwc system too early you may need to top water for a few days, until enough roots get out the bottom. It will be evident, if that is necessary the will be dropping in a day or two.
A single root out the bottom? DWC? Your top watering now? So the only thing that changes is the location of the plants. Chill, good start. VV
Breath!!! wow, that is one long sentence. GOT ANY PICTURES. You are asking for our opinion about the size and health of your plant. You can see it, we can't.
In general, if only the bottom leaves are having this problem, and you 'transplanted it again' and if you have buds forming now, move back 20 paces, do not kill it with kindness. Many of us that grow indoors cut off the bottom branches so we have only the top bud and nothing else, is that a problem? VV
I think you are going to need a bigger set up and more light. Thanx for the pictures, ditch the aluminum foil as soon as possible. VV
