I have just decided to possibly pursue interest in growing indoors. I have several questions that I need answered so I can yield the best product for personal use. So, I'm relying on all you experts out there!!! Basically my questions are:

1) What is the best type of fertilizer to use? Is Miracle Gro an option I should
consider?

2) How often should I water and/or fertilize young, just started plants?

3) How much light should I use? 24 hours or just normal daytime sunlight?

4) Are there any special considerations i should take since i live at high altitudes?

5) How long till I can expect to harvest or how long to wait till harvest?

6) Any other suggestions?

Thanks for takin the time to read this and help me! I really appreciate any information! Take it easy!
Peace

1. Ferts depend on what stage of growth your plants are at. You want a well balanced fert for veg with plent of N P and K something like Peters 20-20-20 works well. And once you switch to flowering you need something with a little less Nitrogen and a little more Phosphate(sp)? lol I'd go with something like 10-20-30. Be careful not to over fert, its easy to burn your plants....but for the most part they'll tell you when they need fert.

2. Indoors i would water once daily and DO NOT fertilize your plants untill they are at LEAST 2-3 weeks old. And when you do, use 1/4 strength at first. I'd say fertilize once a week or once every two weeks depending on how bad they need it.

3. Lights will depend on your grow space. A general rule of thumb is 5000 lumens per square foot. I would use 24 hour light because it keeps your plants growing strong and much faster than if you wernt using 24 on. If power is a concern you may be able to get away with 18 on and 6 off.

4. High altitudes shouldn't be a problem, after all it is a type of weed that you're growing.

5. Usually a good time to start flowering would be 4-5 weeks or when they are around a foot tall. After that it usually takes anywhere from 30 days to 60 days of 12/12.

6. I suggest using HID lighting. You will only be disappointed with floros. 1 to 2 ounces are possible from a 150w hps. Just remember Light = Bud. A bigger light will give you bigger and more dense buds. A 250watt hps is a good light if heat is going to be an issue.

Hope that helps ya!

what about using a 100watt hd light

would that work ok

Captain Bud

Miracle grow is fine. Follw directions on box, they will be fine. Water once every 2-3 days. 24 hour light is fine until flowering where you go 12-12. Not that I know of. 2-3 months minimum. Yea, read the grow guide, it would have answered all of these questions without all the typing.

Maybe this may help: This is all personally

1. I do not use fertilizer and my plants have grown just fine.

2. I water, depending on soil wettness, once or twice a day.

3. The larger the light the better if you ask me, put it on a 24 hour cycle or on a 18/6 cycle(if you are strapped for cash)

4. Shouldn't be a problem for anything.

5. Depending on strain and how well you grow it can be anywhere from 4-6 weeks or longer.

6. Experiment with different techniques and you will soon find the one that works the best for your plants and you.
