Greetings 420 community. I am about to give birth to my first baby (pictures attached) 14 weeks and lots of tender loving care and attention. BUT as this is my first child I am wondering about her growth pattens, is she as good as she can be ? Lots of heads but not all that big ? To cut or not to cut that is the question. I wouldn't want to be the father of a premature child....any ideas ? all welcome..thank you in anticipation...BADHABITSOZ

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster! It’s nice to finally be taking the plunge! Great to meet you all, by the way. I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Ebay thread, but it's pretty long-winded so I thought I'd just make a separate thread. After being fed up with having to get average quality MJ through crappy dealers, I’ve decided that it’s time to start growing a plant of my own for personal use. I already have my feminised White Widow seeds, and after doing a lot of research (from OSA, mostly. ), I’ve decided on all the equipment I’ll need for some indoor stealth growing. Now for the hard part – actually getting the equipment!!! I’m…

Hello All, Excuse this newbie question but if one had an outdoor plant & come harvest time didnt want to kill it would the plant still survive if the main trunk was cut say 10cm from the base leaving just the first rim of outer branches or generally speaking would the shock be to much. Assuming the plant is a feamle & very healthy & about 1m tall & nearly 1m wide & only 3mths old. I've seen other species survive from similiar harsh attacks & knowing how hungry & vigorious these are I wondered if they would survive. Many thanks

Hi again Folks, I'm wondering what the down or upsides are if i take a couple of cuttings from a plant that is in the flowering state as shown in the picture. The pic was taken this afternoon. what i wonder is, will the cuttings work out. will i damage the existing plant. or will it make the existing plant bush out more. I look forward to the wisdom of the forum members. Kind Regards Old Dave

Hey guys i was just seeing if anyone had any other views on pollinating a branch of ur female and putting a bag over the branch i thought that would cause problems with mold or are u meant to open the bag up everyday or two so that air gets to it? Any advice would be great as im about to go for it i have some afghani pollen and it was a beauty that it come off and my girls are ready so as i said any help would be great and i could return the favour if u no what i mean ill keep on posting as i go ill try get some photos up soon.

Iv'e got a few little plants that are hitting the 6ft tall by 5ft wide mark, and in the last couple of days the twin female hairs are starting to come out. It's my first proper outdoor grow ever that i give a stuff about... Question: Are they going to go through the stretch now? I am worried that they will get too large soon, and the neighbours will start seeing ganja protruding from my roof top.. Or are they basically slowing on the stretch now? They havent really grown particularly fast so far. Can i chop them down abit at this stage? Or should i start tying the buggers? They are already a bush, so not sure if tying them down is a good option. I can actually smell them…

Hi all I have read near everything on these forums about cloning and it seems reasonabily easy I have a nice female I wish to clone, but it will be a outdoor clone, I intend in building a small greenhouse to do it in, but it will be comming into the winter months. Will the length of day affect the clones? and make them want to start budding? Can I just cut them dip in cutting powder and place in nice dirt then water normally? most cloning seems to be done indoors. Thanks in advance for any help

hey again i got a dwc almost working finally when i switch the lights off do i also shut off the air pump and fans? or should they just run 24/7?? thanks guys

Hi everyone, now i completed my first ever grow last season and it was awesome to say the least, still surviving off my two plant harvest even now. Although I managed to get a good overall final weight from my harvest I noticed the buds from both of my plants were very leafy compared to the majority of greenery my mates get there hands on. I was just intrigued at why this was, is it because outdoor plants have a natural tendency to be more leafy? or is there some kind of solution to this problem? certain nutrients or flowering techniques? I ask this question because majority of my friends seem to have come to the conclusion that only indoor/hydroponically produced buds ca…

im setting up a small hydro system for 1 or 2 plants i reckon maximum there is about 50cm of height for the plant, so wat is the minimum size of the water container? is two liters enough?
