I use cheap walmart soil (nute free) and perlite... and 3 200 watt equivalent CFL's in clamp lamps.... 1 gal pots. works great for me! not the biggest yield but it gives me what I need!

Good Luck to you!!

Ok, all 6 of my seeds have popped. They came from a bag of some really good smoke so the strain is unknown. now what. how many seeds make one plant? how many per pot?

any help will do at this point

Only 1 seed per pot.

You want females, who's colas are smokeable.

Males are good for pollen.

a big welcome goes out from everyone at the garden. have you read the grow bible yet??? all i can say and i can't stress this enough READ READ READ. the more information you get from this site and other ones like this the better grower you will become.

so as your plants begin to sprout use the search feature located on the site and search for any and all questions you might have. if your still having issues post a thread in the proper location and im sure some of the good people around here will be more then glad to help.

The grow bible should answer most of your new growing questions.

happy growing

Yea, I have printed the bible out and have a little more information than I had. Thanks.

How long after I put them in the soil should I begin feeding them nutes? and the watering, when should that begin?

IMO nutes should be added after 3 alternating nodes or when the 2 smallest leaves on the plant start to yellow around 2 or 3 weeks old depending on how their doing. and only add a 1/4 dose of nitrogen ritch liquid nutes(i use fish emolsion 5-1-1 its organic and wont burn your plants). then building from there increasing dose to full strength over a few weeks. and i only nute every other watering or so if my plants are looking bright green then i don't nute as much so i dont burn them.

The bottom leaves will begin to yellow when they lack nitrogen.

as for watering - seedings like humidity so watering everyday for the first few days is what i do. after the seeds sprout then i water as needed. let the pots dry completly out before watering. put your finger about a inch in the soil and if it feels dry then water. about every 3 days in half gallon pots for me. but every situation is different.

the first mistake most new growers make is over watering. you can tell when your plants are thirsty they will start to droop a bit.

hope this helps

Hello MrT

Here is a cola shot:

Here is a pic of male/female preflowers (only one I could find)

Pollen is for seeds. If you leave a male plant in your garden you impregnate your females..your females will then focus their energy on making seeds...you don't want this unless you are breeding
