Yes you need more light. The light will do more in a small space, a lot of folks say about 4,000 Lumens per square foot. Some others say you need 150 watts of CFLS per plant. There are tons of threads on here about cfls to sleuth through.

Welcome to our forum. All you will need is to post a journal, you will get more help than you wanted. lol Nice avatar, the plant is not looking bad from what I can see. You will want to trim those lower inside branches off of it, the plant is done with them.
Welcome (insert you name here)here is what i would do. I will click on the subject that I want to start a thread in, Lets say I want to start a Grow Journal. I would click on that subject, Grow Journals, its the last entry in every thread line, Subject. When you click on that it takes you to the Grow Journal Forum, you will see there are a few there. At the top left hand corner it says like New Thread or Start a Thread, some thing like that. Click on it, enter your Title, and share your plan. Details are helpful, pictures are a must. Before you are done with your post, Scroll down to the bottom where it says notification, and make sure you are getting notified if someone posts in your thread, That way, you can put all of your unanswered questions in one spot. I think you start out in Advanced Mode, if not select Go Advanced. This will allow you to post pictures right in the thread. You just scroll down to Manage Attachments>Brings up a new WIndow were you can Browse> and Upload>Close this Window> and Preview Post. They will show up as thumbnails in the bottom of the post. Submit Reply.
We do have a Grow Journal Contest going, GardenKnowm is heading that one up, check it out, second place is still open. lol Welcome VV:blsmoke:
The more details you provide the better the information you will get back. One of the most important pieces of information is an idea of a budget, it will be a while before your plant pays you back. We have the author of Marijuana Buds For Less as a member of our forum, and he is heading up our grow journal competition, you will all want to check that out. VV:blsmoke:

Hey all!
I've been lurking around the forums for several weeks now just absorbing as much knowledge as I possibly can while acquiring the things I will need for my first official indoor grow. I finally decided to join and come out of the shadows. I plan on eventually submitting a grow journal and hopefully can help contribute something useful to the community. I'm semi-new to growing but am no amateur with using the drug. I'm sure you will see me around in other threads. Thanks.

Is it easy to grow some good plants in a field next to my house from scratch or do they have to begin life in-doors? What do i need to get started? i live in Ireland where the weather isnt always great.
Any advice would be much appreciated :weed:

Hey redeye, welcome to the forum. The answer would depend on the medium you are going to grow in and the system you use. If you are going to use soil for your first try you would want 3-3 1/2 gallon pots. Some of the hydro system use 3" net pots. So you are going to have too help us out here with some more information.

notoriousHello to all and to all a great night....
Hello too you as well and welcome to our forum. VV:blsmoke:

So I believe that I have found myself with two males!! I'm really sad. I only have one purple beaner left. I decided I am going to give one of my plants a little bit longer, just in case, but I'm sure the other is male. It has clusters of round balls. I was thinking about buying feminized seeds from a seed bank. Does anyone have good or bad things to say about doing that?
