General Cultivation Q&A

Hi peoples. Just wondering how old plants usually need to be before i can tell its sex? Also my plant seems very short , yet stocky and compact. Its 11 days old. Unknown strain. It looks very healthy with moderately fat leaves. System is aeroponics and drippers. 1x400w hps is 30cm away. Im a newbie and just trying to get a scope on a plants average size at this age in optimum conditions. Thanks any help would be appreciated.

So I am going to order some new genetics over the internet, probably from greenhouse seeds and I have a couple of questions if any of you have had experience with this. What I'm wondering is should I use my real name for postage address?? If the beans arrive in a regular envelope then an alias will be fine, but I am concerned that they will come in a box/package that I will need to provide photo ID to pick up from the PO. Or If they send TNT do I just need to sign? What is the safest way to get beans in the post?

Hello - I'm not only a first-timer here, but also a first-time grower. I'm growing a couple of plants outdoors in the sun, in large pots. They're doing really well, so far. (10 weeks old) I have a problem with nosey neighbours, however, and wondered about pruning the plants to keep them low. Could someone please give me some advice on how and when and where to prune my "babies"? Many thanks in anticipation, Oz1

Hello All! This is my first post on this site and I just want to start out by saying I am proud to be a member of this greatly established community and hope I can learn and share as much information as possible with yall. A few months back I was charged with a DUI, therefore I am under supervised probation with random drug screenings every few months (Bastards!). So in the meantime while I wait to smoke again, I have decided It would be enlightening to grow my own crop, so when I can enjoy my smoke again, I will know the quality, and also not have to be ripped off by money hungry pot dealers (no offense, I know everyone has to make a buck) I think I have a pretty goo…
