I'm growing for the first time and, with all the extensive internet research I've done, this is one of the single most helpful tutorials I've found on ANYTHING. You answered so many of my questions with this! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

This all started off as a joke 2 months ago, i never in a million years thought this would ever grow, then bam it started growing.



Hello does anybody know where i can buy seeds sent to america. Im a pot smoker trying to grow my own because i think it will be fun.

And also im growing my own plants now and i was wondering how long before i can cut them and dry them out to smoke, there about almost 2 feet long and have been growing for 2 months.

When can i start smoking them, i dont even know, but the leaves are SO BIG.


Another note, i was growing them outside but they started turining yellow the leaves so i brong them inside and keep them by the window, is that just as good?


Im took pics of them and posting them now, please give me tips.
Straight up telling you, Im not a seller, just a bored guy that likes to get high all the time.


thanks

what pot size should i use for full time grow (no transplants and shits...)?

don't double post! at least wait a few minutes before posting the same question in other rooms.
by the way, plants need room for the roots. you have like 5 plants in half the dirt 1 needs, and they are getting filtered light through the window. imagine if you were stuck in a 4x4x2 foot box, without light, and 3 more of your homies you would die too.

Ok, sorry again

They live outside, that day i took them inside because it was about to rain hard.

Yeah i know i messed up by growing so much together, but i didnt think the seeds would grow.



And also when is it ready to smoke, when do you know the leaves are good for smokin? Its been almost 3 months already.

When can i cut the leaves off and smoke them?


thanks

This might sound real nerdy, but is there a glossary of terms somewhere for all of this? What are HID lights?

Ummm leaves arent usally the best smoke unless they are right on the bud... Is that plant not budding at all? I dont think its far enough along, soil growing takes anywhere from 4 months +. I had a soil plant take about 6 months until it started flowering on me, it grew real tall then just blew up with buds.

Just be patient and hopefully you have some nice bud to smoke and not shake.

soil = patience

i understand the concept and could easily rig up a system for my DWC grow, but what is the rough percentage of increase we're looking at in the end 25% more, 33%.....
