first of all, hello and welcome to IcMag,

We need to know more before giving specific advice, like what space do you have for growing and maybe how much bud do you need, average of course.

as for great general advice for new growers,

I have a closet 10x4x4 tht im going ti close off, it has to be stealth like also.

and im growing it for myself.

I just want it to be real pontent, just like the bud i got her from,


I need a list of nutes nd soil, im going shoping tommarrow lol,cant wait,

 

[Elsweeto]

Is the miracle grow pre fertilised? Does the soil have little white balls in it? pre fert soil is not good for weed you need more control of the nutrients.

how old is the plant?
Is it indoor or out?

Congratulations on starting down path I promise you you have interesting times ahead

 

[Elsweeto]

What size and type of light are you using?

 

[GranDadPurpler]

Its pre, i also already read kodiaks how to grow @exploz, thank yu.

Can ne one tell if it stitiva or indica off bat?

 

[Mr Pengra]

Well how was the smoke? Thats the easiest way to guess if its indica or sativa. Did it give you some major couch-lock after a bong rip? Or was it more like smoke a joint and go for a walk weed? Downer weed is indica of course, where as sativa can lead to endless energy and sometimes even a trippy-hallucinatory state of mind.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

i was pretty z(o_o)ted layed back feeling it right behind the eye balls lol so indica

I smoke alot of herbal never grown it lol i know theres 3diff species, thanks pengra. Still needa list of things to buy. Bump

Also thinking about pumping co2 through the soil? Bad idea?

 

[Mr Pengra]

Honestly for your first grow, keep it simple, consistent and as cheap as possible. Don't blow money on new gadgets and fancy gear, for your first couple of grows you just want to practice the basics and actually learn how to grow herb in soil the normal way before you start moving towards the professional level.

 

[Mr Pengra]

And I can speak from experience, my first grow was an outdoor setup that was waaaaay over my head, more than 30 plants in pots that were much too small, in an area that was waaaaaay too hot for most strains to grow. Half of them were indoor strains as well, and when the heat went up, they died within hours. I spent hella money on high grade soil and nutes and I didn't know what the fuck I was even doing, and in the end only came up with 3 of 4 ounces.

In contrast, I planned my last years grow very well, used larger pots with the same soil from last year, amended it with bone meal, spent very little $$ on simple liquid nutes like Fox Farms Big Bloom and Grow Big, and researched strains that would make the cut for my climate and yield demands. At the end of this season I ended up with around 2.5 pounds of buds and over 20 grams of hash.

Trial and error is going to be your number one teacher during your first few grows, so really look at your techniques and growing style and figure out if your plants are doing better or worse.

Also you said it needs to be stealth? How stealthy does it need to be? Who are you trying to hide it from? If you're living at home and its your parents that you're afraid will find it, I really don't recommend continuing unless you have talked it over and gotten the okay to. You'd be surprised, many parents in weed-friendly states are okay with their kids growing their own pot because it saves money and provides the kids with a safe and clean supply of homegrown bud.

Also thinking about pumping co2 through the soil? Bad idea?

Yep.

Wait - through the SOIL? I think something got mixed up there, but anyway stick with the basics first - light, ventilation, etc. What's your budget - that's as good a place as any to start.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

All i have is one plant and i live on my own but i live in a neighborhood, nd im in a weed friendly state,

 

[GranDadPurpler]

ima goin to get what i need the most, soil nd nutes im guessing nd before it flowers brinng it in doors to the closet set up ima have.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

And at pengra, dam 30, was you busy? what did u grow,

 

[Mr Pengra]

Ok, what about and friends or girlfriends you ever have over? Are they chill or would they snitch you out? Does your budget have room for a carbon filter to catch the smell before you run the exhaust somewhere?

 

[Mr Pengra]

In my county the limit for a 215 cardholder(MMJ prescription) is 30 mature plants and 3 pounds of processed bud lol, but that was actually when I was underage and doing everything illegally. The 30-plus failure plants from my first year were mostly bagseed and shitty clones from a shitty dispensary nearby, and I was busy as fuck, failing the whole time. Take my word, and keep your shit basic and you'll learn quickly the correct way, instead of slowly the wrong way like I did.

This last year I had around 22 clones and seedlings, mostly from my own seed collection that I've put together, and from a pro grower up north who gave me some of his private strain, only grown in one specific valley in Mendocino.
