First off, are you growing indoors or outdoors? There isn't really a tek for growing MJ like there is with Mushrooms. There FAQ goes through the steps for growing, but one single tek covering an entire grow (from seed to curing) would be HUGE.

I can't really help you since I am going to do an outdoor grow. Go check out the indoor growers forum at OG, the stickies should tell you a lot. Then check out posts and search around. If you still can't find your answer then post a question.

growing cannabis is MUCH more in depth than mushrooms, very different options at every step and more complex setups.
I spent hours upon hours browsing through all the different setups and whatnot at overgrow. It requires alot more reading than the shroomery does IMO.
So get to reading!

Yeah, I think growing MJ is much more difficult than growing mushrooms. There is just more to it.
The first time I went to OG, I swear I read for like 2 hours straight. There is so much to read when growing MJ.

I've said this a few times, everyone is always looking for some simple concise information for plants, and it's just not out there. there's too many different plants with too many different variations, and it's hard as hell to make a hard and fast rule about them. There simply is no PF-Tek for plant growing.

That would be a long book, and by the time someone finished it they wouldn't be able to remember everything since it's nearly impossible to make a hard and fast rule. You'd be referring to the book every time you wanted to do something, unless you started to only work with a select few plants repeatedly.

No I mean it would be nice if there was set rules with plants. Like if you do this, then this will happen. Obviously it doesn't work this way and it would be impossible for any sort of tek on growing MJ because so many things can happen along the way (to many things to take into account).

it's like comparing bong hits and tripping!!?
in my experience to do anything correctly i need a book on the subject not just some forum posts.
so for mj here it goes. rated in order of usefulness, to me. hope this help some one.
INDOOR MARIJUANA HORTICULTURE by Jorge Cervantes, Robert C. Clarke, and Ed Rosenthal
MARIJUANA GROWER'S HANDBOOK ( THE INDOOR HIGH YIELD GUIDE ) by Ed Rosenthal
THE CANNABIS GROW BIBLE by Greg Green ( the newest of these books, really the best, if you can find this book it's all you will need. )
MARIJUANA CHEMISTRY Genetics, Processing & Potency by Michael Starks ( some interesting sections on hash oil.)
MARIJUANA QUESTION? ASK ED by Ed Rosenthal ( taken from High Times )
CLOSET CULTIVATOR by Ed Rosenthal ( this book is cheap around 15 bucks, quick overview of growing, you could read the whole book in half an hour. )
if you had never seen overgrow and all you read were these two books INDOOR MARIJUANA HORTICULTURE and MARIJUANA GROWER'S HANDBOOK you could grow perfect grass. you can find all the same info on the web it's just been easier for me to read step by step in books, i'm old school i guess, so sorry. also when i needed guidance there was no overgrow.
I will never forget the guy at the check out line tell me ," wow,er um 20 dollars for a book!" i guess he meant for a book about pot.? i instantly thought to my self if only one of these seeds grows into a female! and if this twenty dollar book helps me figure out how to make that seed grow into the best plant ever, well then , twenty doesn't seem too much,,.

Keep things simple for your first grow.
Veg under fluros for the first two weeks,you wont light burn your plants that way.
Get a 400 or 600 Hps for the second half of veg and flowering.
Plenty of ventillation. This includes a fan for extraction,possibly one for intake if you can afford it on top of all the other costs. An oscillating fan blowing on the plants is a must.
Dont bother with a confusing automated hydro system first time around,just hand water. You'll learn more about your plants this way and not have to worry about keeping nutes and PH balanced in the res all the time.
Soil sucks,use a hydro media. I'll recommend a mix of coir/perlite 60/40 with a few inches of hydroton in the bottom of the pots to keep their feet well drained and airated.
PH is very important. Get a cheap indicator solution type PH test kit used for aquariums. Use citric acid for PH down. Dont use the sodium based chems supplied with the test kit. I'd be very surprised if you need to raise PH.
Mix nutes much weaker than reccomended on the bottle. Start at 1/4 strength and work up. Full strength nutes wont be needed 2/3 strength is about as high as you'll need to go. And remember no nutes for the first two weeks.
Hope that helps. any more Q's,post them here.

The Marijuana Growers Guide by Mel Frank is a good read.Its pretty long but it's also easy to understand.It goes through each stage in pretty good detail such as germination,flowering,curing etc. There is no substitute for hands on experience though,trail and error. Just be careful especially if you reside in the US,most important thing to remember is tell no one

Hydroton/geolite it's the same stuff. Any hydroponics store will have it. You could use lavarocks if need be.
