Get this.

My exp with the plant. From what I'm reading I don't even know where to begin you got a long way to go and once you see the work in it your gonna rethink your prices.


From what I'm reading 5 dollars a gram is what it's gonna be worth. If your wanting to help your friends it's gonna take a lot of work to grow weed that they would pay 15 to 20 bucks a gram for in the first place.

I'm not trying to be a asshole here but but growing in the wild isn't what everybody thinks it is. You don't just plant a seed water once a month and killer gank comes up, just doesn't work like that.

You may wanna start with water supply. Nice and easy now but what about when they are 5 feet tall in the middle of July when a good size plant can use 5 gallons of water a day and that is in the No Cal woods let alone in So Cal where it bakes like a oven in the summer.
Not fun to ad that stuff in the summer when the ground is hard but my guess is that your not gonna slosh around in the rainey season when the ground is soft to pre dig your holes burry the water supply and put in gravity lines bury them all the way to the plant site the cammo the whole thing. Now if your planning to haul water to the site it's either close to home or doomed already.

I agree. If you are planning on growing several plants, which you intend to get rather big (over 5') then there's going to be lots of factors needed to be considered.

However, growing weed CAN be ridiculously easy. I had some clones last year that we're just a dank strain, I put them outside in like June and watered when they needed, and fertilized with Earth Juice towards the end of the budding period and they turned out quite dank.

Like medical grade dank. This is attributed simply to the plants genetics and propensity to make a dank plant.

I plan on growing not because I want profit, but because I want to hook up other people. It sucks getting screwed by weed prices, and I want to help people avoid that, even if only by a little. Also, I really enjoy gardening. A lot. And I want to give weed a try. Weed, poppies, cacti. Fun stuff.

Thanks for the advice, impgl, that is an interesting story. I will look into working with red dot.

The bad thing about selling weed for much lower than market price ($5/gram) is that people will buy it and sell it at market price ($15/g). So in the end you're not really helping anyone get weed for cheap, you're just making money for other people.




Solution: Hook your friends up, and give people a decent price. If you hook them up too fat, they would probably try to sell some... I know I used to.

I mean if you buy a sack for twenty bucks, and it's big enough that you could sell a 20 out of it and still have a 20 to smoke... well... heh. So if weed averages 15 bucks a gram (Jesus Christ that's fucking horrible, thank God I live in Northern California) you should sell it for 10 bucks a gram (which I still consider a shitty price, granted the economics of weed vary greatly from region to region.)


Stoners in SoCal should begin considering making trips to NorCal after harvest, it's not uncommon to pick up ounces for prices like $50... sometimes even cheaper. It's usually last years and they want to make room for this years.

kudos on all of those outdoors! whew! but it is hard imo to tend to these loving plants. but it doesnt mean dont try: you probably will fuck up, but thats how you learn! aw man i cant tell you how man times AFOAF fucked up with that plant! so many heart breaks lol. but once harvest day comes after a hard season, youll be wettin you pantalones! ummmm, it gets really hot in deo, so maybe plant under a lil bit of shade cause around miday in july, they may cook. also, dont plant till later in the season because if your sprouting now, they will get colosal by the end and need more root space and a lot more water. sprout in early june or something and maybe transplant in end of julyish. use grow bags, there cheap. also, start hauling in water. and Herbus: i know ive tried that exact thing lol, going up to the emerald tri around aug - nov when i thought people would be you know, *giving* away last years model.... hehe, didnt work out to well for me because i didnt really know anybody up there! but at least i got to go on a road trip in that beautiful area.

Type in the link to the image you want to post and enclose it in an image tag.

I know the weed isn't going to be that good, but I am just enjoying the growing of it and am messing around with different things.....it's hard to explain, whatever.

I added more soil to the plants with taller stems/larger leaves so that less of the stem height is exposed.
I have one book on growing, and I have wanted to get the Cannabis Grow Bible for a while, but never got around to it.

Good news: The plant which prompted me to post my problems with stems breaking (the one I supported with little wood chips after it broke) is standing on its own. I checked it out today and it was not lying against the wood chip anymore, but instead standing independently. GOOD STUFF!

Keeping them well watered now, because the soil has good drainage, so I would rather over water than underwater.

I plan on making the trips to bring the plants water, damnit! Maybe a gallon a day or something, I don't know.

nah man i get it, thats how a lot of people start growing. when you get into the hobby for the money, then youll get heart breaks.... but for real, which one of us didnt start growing for fun, got interested in the hobby, read all sorts of acounts for plants (a pound plus of dried sweet goodness, outdoor) and started dreaming of that sweet ipod, new clothes, etc? haha mebbe just me... just do NOT expect pounds of dank your first time around.

Dude, I don't expect a single pound of shwag.
To me, success will be getting a plant from seed til mature and budding.
My goal is to just get some basics on growing before refining my technique to get better potency.

well. I just checked on them again today (I do almost daily, but I haven't had much noteworthy stuff). I think I must have fewer plants, I would say I have 3-4 that are what I would call healthy(I will check later).

Two of them are doing great, and I am happy. They have two 5-leaf sets each. I am pretty happy. One is much larger in comparison to the other, but whatever.
I can't believe this is going so well! I am just so happy to be witnessing this growing at my hands :smile:

Okay, checked and water them. 5 of the 7 are doing very well. 5 leaves on some, 3 on some others.
The two that are fucked up have either yellow leaves that are shitty (not dead....been growing like that for a while now...) or fucked up looking leaves. Whatever.
I'm happy with what I have. Hopefully not too long before I can plant somewhere and just water it regularly and have that do the job.

Coming up on a month now, anyone care to help me out on some advice/experience? How does the speed at this point relate to how it has been? Do they grow a lot faster about nowish, slower? Any problems that might arise now, more than before?

Ok, I pinched the tops off of a bunch of them(just above the second node, right?) last week. That should help keep them lower, correct?

Well, I haven't checked on all of them recently. but the one large one I had has 6 leaves (3 points of height at which two stems come out with 5 or more leaves). I just moved that one into the earth, and was so happy to see how nice the rootball was. It sort of let me know that I chose a good time to transplant, because roots were everywhere, but it was still loose enough that you could seperate a few roots on accident and a tiny amount of dirt would fall, but it was dense enough that I knew I had chosen a time in which it could really take advantage of all the extra space.
Cross your fingers for me in hopes that it doesn't get jacked!

By the way, this has very little response recently. Do any of you guys still care?

No, I JUST planted it and posted when I got home. I am going to water it tomorrow, maybe, or perhaps on the weekend. I will water it well, for sure, but I will probably wait for the roots to get readjusted and acclimated to the new spot, first.

Just above the second node IS the top...or was.

the roots will be able to adapt the to soil to strengthen or be able to handle not being waterd for a couple days, but like you said earlier abut the White Widow from the bad growers... It does all depend on how you grow the weed, you could grow the best strain and have the shittiest bud youve ever smoked... it all depends on hwo you grow it, the lightage, and care ect ect.... you should round up 25.00 and go buy the Cannabis Grow Bible, it helps alot

Thanks for the advice, but all my money goes to mushroom cultivation at the moment.

Apparently there are two tiny potted pots I may have slightly kind of forgotten about and found today, one with bleach-white leaves on the lower branches (which it has, like, 2 of. it is just a seedling) and the other with leaves that were drooping and as limp as Bob Dole. Watered the suckers, but whatever. I have several other much healthier main plants I am concerned with.

Hey, do drooping leaves mean that the plant is lacking water? I assumed it did, because they drooped whenever I forgot to water them, and the day after I watered them well they were crispy again. Is this right, or is there some other, more sneaky, cause behind this?

hey i would have started them in the ground but thats just me. wilting would probably go away if you throw them in the ground, also it would keep the roots cooler they got to be burnin up it that sun. nice pool by the way. is that your pad(props to you) or your parents? im moving to vegas in the next year i hope to find a pool half that nice. shouldnt you top those babys by now if you want to be bushy and short instead of turning into green helicopter flags.
