Growing weed aint so damn easy....

[vampvixin]

I have just started to grow sum weed indoors just to see if I could now I see there is more to it than I 1st thought. I am now hooked and very curious as to how and when i got the why. lol Anyway can sum1 tell me about how long after i see a sprout does a plant start flowering? mine are now in an unused 1 window bedroom sum are about 6 weeks old and newest are only a week old.:confused:

The "about" will be a pretty large window, but to help narrow it down can you provide some info on your grow? Lights? Soil? Hydro? Nutes you are using and how much you have used? What kind of plants?

well from my bagseed I didn't see alternating nodes (sexual maturity) until about 50 days into veggie and then I turned the light cycle to 12/12 and they have been flowering for a week now. You trigger flowering indoors, it doesn't just "happen". You change your light cycles from 24/7 or 18/6 to 12/12 and the plants will think the days are getting shorter (fall) and will start to produce bud.

you don't have to wait till alternating nodes to flip the lights... you can start the flower cycle anytime you wish. However WHEN you start the cycle is 1 up to you and 2 will determine how much you yeild.

the majority will veg for 8 weeks and flower for 8-12 depending on strain.
but yeah, you can flower after a matter of days of veg, you`ll end up with little bud though, but your mini plant will look cool.

Ok info on my grow is very unknown I have collected seeds from FL, NY, VA. NC, I had sum Blue widow, lemon ice, cant remmeber all names,so i aint sure whats what and as far as Nute just plain ole miracle grow as directed on bottle and potting soil mixed with sum sand.Im gonna take a pic today of older 2 and I have 4 new ones that i planted on may 30th that have shot straight up and are tall and skinny they look quiye different from 1st ones.

just sand? that won`t be sufficient drainage for MJ. try adding some perlite or vermiculite, you can pick it up from any garden centre or hydro store.
sand is used to aid in drainage,only around 5% though. i`ve never heard of anyone using sand alone. give no nutes for the first 3 weeks,only water, then "gradually" give nutes starting off with a small amounts and increase over time.

I think she said potting soil mixed with some sand...

yeah i gathered that, sand alone with soil won`t do for drainage:p
