I'm thinking if cantharis stops wearing panties all our problems would be solved.

One thing I think you should add. I know not too many people have gone this route, but maybe you could add something in about LEDs for growing. And to add to what someone else said, it's good that you listed actual product names. I think that's the biggest question a lot of us "noobs" have. We always want to know what other people use. +rep

Re: Beginners Guide To Get You Started in Growing Cannabis

Jcj's thread has been helping newbs since 07-26-2007 I am pretty sure if he was just spitting out BS the whole time it would of lost its credibility years ago. I know he helped me many times.Yes my questions may have been buried in a thread made 4 years ago. But Jcj always came through.

A one stop shop for all basic information on marijuana cultivation is a great idea. I hope this grows.

I've been using them for supplementals in my flowering rooms and for starting seedlings/cuttings for almost a year now. Let me know if you ever want to chat about the pros and cons of them

Re: Beginners Guide To Get You Started in Growing Cannabis

Just wanted to say that I have gotten good info from jcj. Had to change plans on my growing medium and this was alot easier and quicker than searching everything out one by one. I got my seeds today and going to give my hand at my first LST grow. So here is hoping. and hey man +rep to jcj for taking the time to compile the info to all of us either too lazy or too stoned to read all the stickies!

Re: Beginners Guide To Get You Started in Growing Cannabis

hi Jcj, i'm a complete newb to growing but have been tarring my lungs for over 45 years. Perhaps thats why the last 3 hours reading hasn't answered my question, heheh.

I'm sure you can give me the advice I need.
I bought 2 clones a week ago to try my hand at growing with led lights. They were about 3-4 inches tall when I bought them. Put them on 24 hrs in pro mix 3 gal pots.
Watering with filtered city water, no ferts yet. Problem is they are now about an inch taller but showing white hairs already. Found out that the guy who sold them took them off 24 hr and put them outside for 2 days, didn't tell me until I called him to ask.
So can I do anything to put them back into veg or should I just go 12/12 and live with small yield? They are afghani clones. I'm worried i might end up with 2 males if I leave them on 24, or do you think they'll revert to veg if I pinch the the hairy bits off.

Appreciate any info and I AM reading but old and slightly not so bright when it comes to growing.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

just leave them as they are, put on 24/0. & u can prob start 1/8 strength veg ferts & superthrive for root growth. alot of my clones get hairs on them, its semi-normal, & nothing to worry about, & females cant turn into males, they can go hermi, but nothing to woory about at this point
