Im thinking about beginning myself but

Post by WeedGuru_Flow »

well, im not realy a gardener at all, i know shit about any plants ... only their names ever so once in a while :roll:

ive read some internet growing guides, but goddamn they use all these techy cool important sounding words that just make the whole more complicated :x

so, could anyone that has had a good experience growing plants (preferably in doors, i live in belgium ... the weather isnt good enough to go for outdoors i think) send me a bit of a reply in which he explains (in normal, clear sentences) how i could grow some bud myself... Im talking like 1/2 plants, not a while farm

Sorry, this has been asked a million of times ... just think of me as a retard :P

txh in advance

oh and please, no nonsense replies here people im serious about this[/i]

Hi mate. Heres a basic setup for you...

Lights... 250, 400, 600 Watt High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights. The higher the wattage the more heat they put out so youll have to consider more appropriate ventilation above 250W.

Soil... I used to use John Innes Potting Soil. Its a good soil. You want to mix it with Perlite and Vermiculite to assist water drainage. Not too sure of the ratios anymore as its been a while in soil.

Pots... start off in small 3-4 inch diameter pots with the john innes and water when you think the soil is too dry. Dont water in the first 2 weeks, just make sure the soil is moist, use your brain a little here, we've all had to experiment. They dont need nutes at that time. Not until they have a set of true leaves. Then move them to larger 5 gallon pots when they are established in the smaller pots. (A basic rule of thumb is you need 1 gallon of soil per foot of plant height)

Nutes... I used Canna Terra Vega and Flores. Instructions are on the bottle. Use at 1/4 strength for the second 2 weeks and play it by ear from there on in. Your plants will 'tell' you what they need and dont need. ( A rule of thuimb here is always under feed rather than over feed ((delayed feedings, drier soil, encourage root growth))

oh... and keep your room clean. Go to the garden center and get some of those sticky yellow white-fly sheets. Youll soon see if you have a problem with pests.

If theres anymore, just holler!
