how and what to grow?


Recommended Posts

gday fellow stoners,

 

my questio to you all is , do i grow a mother then clone it or grow many plants from seeds?

 

im growing for my personal use only, i only use 1 gram a week, so i think one plant will be enough, ?? can you keep a plant going for years, and just keep picking from it, as you need it? i like the idea of picking once a month, letting the plant keep buding, or do i have to grow, bud and then pick and start all over again? ive never grown before, im tossing up weather to grow outdoors or indoors, i just want one or two really nice plants. can anyone help me? i live in a hot humid place with a wet and dry season, ive heard you can put ice around your plant to keep it in bud,(the plant thinks its winter al the time) does anyone know how to get a plant to grow bud only, i did it once by accident, i had a plant only 4days old go to bud, with in a week the bud was an inch tall, it only had two leaves on it..but my stupid flat mate thought he would fertilize it for me while i was away, and he killed it, with fertilizer, (i kicked and punched thewanker for doing it) lol

 

so any advice would be good..

 

thanks for taking the time to read this..

 

ive seen some cool l.e.d lights they look like the go, no heat, no u.v, no i.r..no need for fans.either

hey mate,

 

First off the cannabis plant is a seasonal plant, so unfortunately you won't be able to keep a plant and keep picking buds off of it.

 

Not sure of your grow space, but planting a few seeds and letting them grow out sounds like the best bet in your case. In respect to L.E.D lights, i honestly don't know enough about them to comment. As for not needing fans, you will always need the air in your grow cabinet to be exchanged with fresh air, Fans are a must!

 

peace

"ive heard you can put ice around your plant to keep it in bud,(the plant thinks its winter al the time)" :doh:

 

Do a lot more research before you start. The plant reacts the the amount of light ours in the day, has nothing to do with the temp. In summer the plant will veg because the daylight hours are long enough. When winter comes the sun comes up later and goes down earlier and most strains start to bud when daylight hours reach 12/12 or less. Therefore you plant in summer and harvest in winter.. If you grow indoor you can control light hours and dictate when your plants bud.

 

Sounds to me like you need to learn a lot more before you start or you will be likely to fail. Spend a few months doing more research and you will have a good chance of success. Especially if you are growing outdoors, Best time to plant seed outdoors is Sept-October so you have plenty of time. I think you should pop a few in outdoors and see how mother nature does it before you spend money setting up an indoor grow.

yes fans are a must even if u don't have heat issues. They need to breath.

 

Cloning is the way to go. Just have one always in flower. If u smoke 1g a week one good plant, one good harvest will supply you for 1 to 5 years of smoke..

 

u can keep a plant in veges for many years but not one in flower.....

thank you very much for your imput, its greatly appriecated, i have just started to germinate some seeds i had collected, a random number of strains, i was just going to try soil and a grow fluro , just to see what happened, with growing out of season.and just repot it outdoors, in summer..i hope just to have one nice plant, i want to pin it down along a fence line, could that work ??

 

im going to keep reading and learning, and with a bit of good luck i might grow some nice buds..

 

cause the shit i get atm, is the worst ive ever had in my life..seriously!! id love some nice well grown outdoor.....

problem your gunna have is, you will be growing it indoors under a fluro... for like 5 months in veg, the plants gunna be pretty friggen big when you take it outside

 

but you could tie it down along your fence, each time it pops up keep tying it down to grow more horizontal

gives more light to lower bud sites

 

but what about security with neighbours and smell ect

 

as far as mother plants, you can either keep one mother and take a new clone from it as you need

or you take a clone from your plant before you swap it to flower, and raise the clone as the new plant

while ur main plant buds up

thankyou for you comments, im still trying to decide weather ill go indoors or go outdoors, im germinating some seed, im thinkin your right ill just put them out side in pots, im

 

dealingwith a very shady backyard, and ive trying to be as stealth as i can, so this is my problem, hiding the plants and gettin them in the sun or under lights,

 

im hoping to get one good plant going and just keep cloning it, over and over..

 

still not sure im just going to keep researching for as long as it takes, to get the plan happening..

 

i should be able to get a years worth of vape out of one plant, as i only use 1gram /week.. and if it was really good weed (white widow/bubble gum/ etc, i would need less..

 

as i can only get shitty bush atm..which is very depresssing.

 

im hoping to make contact with someone who can help me solve this tragic problem..

 

mmmm remembering the good old days of filthy sticky stinky buds.mmmmmm(drool)........lol.
