  1. i havent gotten my own place yet so i cant start growing right away, but what are some steps i can start doing now to better prepare myself for when i actually get down to growing.It seems complex to me now so i need whatever prep i can get. any suggestions?
     
  2. go into all the cultivation forums, open all the stickies in tabs, and start reading.

    thats really the only way. its gibberish at first, but keep at it for a week and it starts to make sense. this place is a goldmine of information, but you have to be willing to really sit down and read. smoke a bowl, put on some music, and get to work.
     

  3. *Read up on growing:

    Marijuana Horticulture
    Plenty of others at the bookstore

    *Sign up for a lot of forums and start reading.

    *Sign up for growing information: Urban Grower | Advanced Nutrients Medical | Medicinal Marijuana Cultivation Information

    *Read up on the various nutrients available - Advanced Nutrients has a great site for growing info and nutrient info.

    *Find a safe space for growing.

    *Visit some gardening stores to see what nutrients are readily available. Hydro stores are great places for advice if you ask the clerks questions.

    good luck!
     
  4. Read!!!! Get some books if you can, read the stickies, do your research.

    Is there ANYTHING you can grow where you're at? Veggies, flowers, houseplants?

    MJ is nothing special to grow. If you can do a decent garden, you can do decent mj. Just get the experience growing SOMETHING.

  5. ya its very intimidating but thanks for the advice i plan on doing that
     
  6. thanks for the replies i will start reading up. I have no backyard its all cement so i cant really grow anything. thanks again
     
  7. It is intimidating, so ask yourself some questions.

    Does your grow have to be stealth? This basically splits in half the grow journals you should go read. There are many about both.

    Do you have some money to pump into this, or are you going to try to do it cheap? If cheap, look into CFLs and maybe a grow tent. If expensive, look into MH/HPS ballasts and bulbs and maybe into converting a room.


    If you try to tackle it all at once youll never get anywhere, so knock off little chunks. Go learn about lights, forget about seeds and dirt and nutes etc. Learn everything you can, then move onto another aspect of it. It aint too bad when you get going.
     
  8. To start off I'd like to do a stealth and the cheapest way for now until I het experienced enough.I've seen those pc grow boxes, are those possible to make on your own?
     
  9. yes they are easy to make on your own. Just read around in the Micro grow section
     
  10. Learn how to grow tomatoes. It will give you an understand of soil, nutrients, watering, etc.
