oooo.... could I use a 60w lamp for the timee being until I get something more potent? Im about 3 1/2 weeks into growing?

[The Shamen]

errm i wouldnt like to say to be honest , dont want the responsibility of killing someone elses plant .. i done enough murdering of my own haha .. if its not all that cold atm then it should be ok till you get something sorted .. even if its a couple more of them 60 watters ... 3 or 4 of them should be ok .. im not saying they will produce masses amounts of bud but they should keep your plant going ...
try making a thread as this is really a guide ..

Kudos Vokal!!!!!

Ive read a few guides, took the best from them and am trying to apply them to suit my needs.
I must say your LST technique and prerequisite methods suit me best thus far..

I look forward to my first bush and asking for help from the gurus here.

Take care all and use a vaporizer then there is nothing bad at all about smoking.



Legalize and tax it already, then make alcohol illegal, dumb arse government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great guide it helped a lot although I for some reason cant see the "LST method" when i click it my computer freezes. This is the easiest and most complete grow guide i have seen it covers everything nice work man.

Although I am not a "virgin" grower I seem to have major changes each time I start another group. I am more fortunate thatn most as I have a well protected both for privacy and weather grow area and my lighting setup is great. Although I am still growing from a large variety of seeds from many sources the group of 10 plants I had this time was much stouter and the buds were much denser and all plants had over all good health. The only problem I've had is as the the buds got heavier the plant began to fall over. Did I starve the root system and therefore weaken the Stalk? I did not fertilize at all this time but made sure the soil was nutrient heavy for first planting.

Very nice guide!

Well this is the straw that breaks the Camel's back. This guide answered all my questions about growing, so now I must. One question though, for the fan CFM calculation, the LxWxH measurement is in feet right?

Thanks Vokal! I've been wanting to grow for quite a while but I've never been able to find a guide that made me confident enough to grow. But now I do : ) thanks again!

Alright well there are a lot of different methods used to germinate seeds, personally I’ve only used 3 and well with The Paper Towel Method, I’ve had a 100% success rate. I’ve also tried the Jiffy Pellets but only had a 50% rate with those. I have also tried the Water Method but had about 70% success rate.So I’m just going to explain The Paper Towel Method, since I think it’s better and well just about as easy as can be. <O</O

Paper Towel Method
The first step is to get yourself either a Tupperware container or a plain old ceramic bowl (really anything can be used these are just some ideas). Next you need some paper towel, make sure it is paper towel not toilet paper or facial tissue. Ok so you now have a container and at least 2-3 sheets of paper towel. The first step is to take one paper towel and fold it so that you make it 2-4 layers thick, once you have done this place it into the bottom of the container. Now it’s time for the water, for this you want clean pH adjusted water. For most the easiest way to do this is just to used bottled water (thought tap water should be ok but the pH may be off). Slowly pour water into onto the paper towel and tip it so the water flows and saturates the whole paper towel. You don’t want a pool of water just enough so that the paper towel is dripping wet. If you are unsure just turn the container on it’s side and wait till the water is coming out as drips. At this point place your seeds onto the folded wet paper towel, be sure to leave at least a half inch between the seeds. Once you have placed you seeds, grab another sheet of paper towel fold it into 2 layers and wet the same way as the other paper towels. Once wet lay it over the seeds, if you used a container with a lid put the lid on and place it in a warm dark place (on top of your computer monitor, or tower). If you used a bowl then place some saran wrap (cling film) over the top and poke a few holes, next place a saucer or plate on top to keep the light out. The purpose of all of this is to create a humid, warm and wet environment so that the seeds can begin to absorb the water and come to life.

A pity that you are ignoring the only method that does not introduce a totally unnecessary extra step - putting your seed directly into soil - and the only logical method for those who will be growing in soil anyway.

As it is becoming the fashion, I will have to write my own grow guide - at least it will be spelt correctly.

FTFY. "Spelt" is an edible grain, akin to wheat. Great Grow Guide. I may re-edit it and fix the editing codes that are strewn about
