Growing Marijuana

I don't know if anyone said it or not, but here's a small input from me:

Use a white light (fluorescent lights, like they usually have in school, hospitals, things like that) and put it above the plants. I'll have to see about how much light you give them, how far away you put it, etc,and I'll get back to you later.

im pretty sure its at least 8 hours of light a day which isnt hard at all.

Yeah, definately at least eight hours, but I'm thinking of something that's more complex. So many hours this day, then so many hours the next day, something like that. It works though.

hhhhmmmmm well i can tell you what my friend did which worked.

he painted the whole thingy he had his plant in white because it reflects the light without cooking the plant.

and he used a growing lamp which i think he lifted from somwhere.. or he ordered it off line iunno iun care but w/e.

[smokeweed420]

yea the growing lamps are good what my buddy used was those lamps that you use for a turtle an that shit cas its really hot.

[superflysuperwhite]

well you dont want it to get too hot cus youll cook the plant

[smokeweed420]

thats true but maybe if you do what you said you friend did it might not burn.

Yeah, I've painted the PC casing inside white... Then I have the fans to keep it cool.

No thats wrong.

16-24 hours of light a day when it's first starting to grow.

Then when its budding you want like 10-12 hours of light a day.

I pretty sure the good seeds are the darker ones an you gotta make sure there not cracked an you should plant them at least 6 inches into the soil.

No... ive grown trees for the last 4 years. you want to start them in a cake pan or some kind of pan about 2 to 3 inches deep and a foot long by about a foot wide. use miracle grow potting soil (u can buy big ass bags of this at walmart for CHEAP). soak the seeds in drinking water for about 1 or 2 days prior to planting. this will make for faster sprouting. plant the seeds about 1 inch under the soil. i usally plant 30 or 40 seeds to 1 pan an inch or so apart in rows. keep the soil moist but not soaked. also keep 2 2 foot long florascent bulbs about 6 inches off the top of the soil. keep the bulbs ON 24/7 for one week. u do not want to do this in a fish tank because the seedlings are gonna need ventilation. after one week at least half if not more of the seeds should of sprouted. these seedlings are ready to transplant. use a spray bottle to water the seedlings with. and as far as seeds go the little (usallay bright green) seeds are female, and the larger darker seeds are male. it does not matter if they are cracked or not. female seeds tho are very hard to get to sprout. ive only ever had male plants but if u can get both male and female plants groing in the same pot they should grow faster and produce more bud (that is what ive heard from other people tho) ive always had large plants with alot of bud and none of them have ever been from female seeds.
