Hello This is my first time posting on this forum , ive ordered some seeds today , 5 big bud seeds and 5 hindu kush seeds. I will start growing them , i am very very new to this , im just growing becouse i love plants , and taking care of them its a great hoby for me , i have a few bonsai trees , and a plant like big bud called my attention , well since i never planted one before i need to know what kynd of materials will i need ? what tipe of dirt should i use ? and is it possible to grow them in my bedroom window wthout any fan and with no artificial light ? Thx to all who disposed the time to read my post , i hope you guys can help me , i will keep posting here my progress , and hoplfully i will have a big happy strong plant "soon" :thumb:
 
Hey what's up bro, ill answer some questions and ask some of my own, first off your going to make sure you have a dedicated space for this, your going to need to germinate your seeds when they arrive and everything is set up. There are many methods for this, personally I put them in a cup of water till they sprout, but to each his own. Start off the sprouts in a mix of perlite and fox farms ocean forest 30%ff/70%per , once you get there, we will be happy to guide you more, you will need a fan and at least some cfls to get you started... K.. now where do you live? U.s.? Cuz then you def can't do a window grow right now.. , maybe take some pics of your area?

Come to the site and read, read, read my friend.

You paid good money for seeds so I'm guessing you want the very best for them...right?

Like my friend kamykazi3 said

and

Do not just fly blindly into this because marijuana plants take some TLC to make them turn out to their fullest potential so you need gain as much knowledge as you can before you even germinate these seeds...K? :peace:

P.S.; Our grow moderators are in place for just this reason so you should pick their brains for the knowledge you need to start a 1st grow.

Exactly, thank you for the backup :thanks:, your def. Going to need some artificial light, as I believe its winter there also? And your going to want to keep them on a strict cycle for maximum growth.., you can use regular soil, but it may have some crap you don't want, especially soil from outside, comes with disease, pests.. unless you have a dedicated soil place where you have compost and are constantly maintaining it.. I would use bagged potting soil, you can always order from eBay... Lol

ahh many thanks ! i will buy some soil to avoid any problems , i will have to think about the light , your right its winter here too , my house is quite cold , willl i have any problems with the cold ? can the cold kill my plants ? :S i dont want the to dye , as warrior said , they where quite expensive :) im not worried about maximizing the plant grow , becouse as i said i dont want the plant for the drugs , i just like the looks of it :)
 
Ah my friend.. I see.. well yes cold can kill your plants, but the lights will help with that issue, and I've never heard that one before.. I love how these plants look too, but Ive never seen someone keep one as a house plant..lol, your going to need to keep the lights in veg if your not interested in the medication...not drugs.. medication... Lemme see if i can post a few links on here in a little bit..

I have to ask, what your going to do with the end result?

Do you plan on even making them bud out?

You might have just bit off more than you're willing to chew my friend.

These plants produce medicine as their end result, so do you at least have a friend to give the harvested buds to?

Maybe you should try it yourself and see just what you have been missing out on...you might just like or even love it. :thumb:

The light cycle and color spectrum of the lights affect budding, my honest reccomendation for you is to get a lil indoor area goin, strictly veg there as you can use cfls and keep the need for ventilation down, (you always need some, but no need for an 8"inline fan with cfl..lol, unless youve got a sealed room) but anyways, veg inside and then plant in bigger pots outside when the weather starts to warm up some, aka, couple months, and then you don't have to worry about light and everything else that gies with indoor growing, and you can see the plants get to their full potential:peace:

All I'm saying is, just do your homework on this and not to just throw your marijuana seeds in the dirt and expect miracles...ok?

We have tons of great information for you to read and get informed before you take on this adventure.

I will answer your questions;

1. "Bite off more than you can chew" means; To take on more than you are willing to take the responsibility for.

2. These plants grow in two stages and can end up as either a male or a female plant which, as far as I know, is the only plant in the world that has two different genders, the first stage they will be in the "vegetation" stage kept under 24/7 hours of lights on until they are ready to show their "sex" either male or female.

When you establish this you will keep the females because they are the ones that produce the "Bud" or flowers which is the part that gets you high when smoked.

When they are "budding" (flowering) you will need to set the lights to stay on for 12 hours and then back off for 12 hours until they are ready to harvest...understand?

I know it's a little complicated at first but as you read more, you will learn more...cool?

Spend a lot of time on this site reading about how to grow and then start asking all these millions of questions.

Your doing good and well on your way, lil pointer get rid of the foil in there.. I'm assuming that's foil.. and either get a space blanket and cut it up or paint the inside flat white, foil can create hotspots which will burn your plants, males give off seeds, so to you , right now they are worthless, if you get way more advanced then you can do breeding and such... but that's a whole other topic
