In my mind, but STAY OUT OF THERE!
Buy a book, or look for the info on the rest of the internet. There's a file out there somewhere called The Complete Guide to Growing Cannabis or something similar. It's got some good stuff in it.

i dare say in about a year people would be happy OG was taken down (although it might go back up...) maybe now the main source of information regarding cannabis cultivation is going to be much more precise and orgenized? less BS and myth? less trolls?
there is'nt THAT much to growing good cannabis... nature takes care of that for us... growin LOADS of cannabis on the other hand is a skill that takes patiance and time to perfect and THAT was OG's greatness... teaching people how to manufacture loads of fine smoke 
still... the knowledge hasn't died it's just a tad less easy to find ATM
if you really want to grow weed just do it!

choose the best looking seeds (grey/brown, swollen). soak seeds over night in water. germinate in paper towels - check every 12 hours
once germinated, plant seedlings tip down, 1/2 inch under surface of potting soil, or compost. pots small enough so they can all sit under a light. let's say you have ten. once they break the surface, turn on lots of lights, 24h a day. cut the top of the plant off after 2 branchings. allow to regenerate into two growing tips. keep the light on, give occasional water, pot up when enlarging, consider re-topping both tips again after anoth couple of nodes. when at least 8 inches tall, change the lighting to 12/12 so they get 12h uninterupted darkness, to sex the plants.
after a week or two of 12/12 light, it should be apparent which are the males, and which the females. remove the males to avoid seed generation. you will probably have three to seven plants left. repot so they can grow, and either continue the 12/12 to promote bud formation, or revert to 24h light to let them bush out a bit more before returning to 12/12 when you're ready to flower/bud/fruit/ripen/harvest. to ensure you make the best use of your lights, try to ensure 30 watts per square foot, and cram them in.
thin the plants. compromise between many small or few bigger plants. cull weak specimens, and allowing for plant deaths, you may end up with two to four prime females for budding. you could take cuttings of these strong female mother plants if you like - each is a clone of its parent, and will need 24h light straightaway so it can grow the necessary life support equipment.
nurture these harvest plants - give them water, fresh air, a breeze (to strengthen the stems), carbon dioxide, and love. you may have to wait between 50 and 80 days from the start of the 12/12 fruiting process until harvest time.
harvest when at least half of the hairs on the bud have darkened, or (if you have a good enough lens) the fluid in the gland cells has turned to amber. harvesting is important; dry plants upside down, cut buds off after a day or two when more pliable. trim off bud leaves and remove all water over several days, as if drying mushrooms. the removal of water stops the plant from breaking down the goodness.
when dry, cure the buds. place buds in a sealed glass jar where some air can circulate, shaking then releasing the air every few days. the chemicals are allowed to mature to maximum tastiness.
there's plenty of dodgy characters here who can show you the ropes.

They had a rather unique hash and oil forum. That was the one that I frequented the most... it had excellent threads and pictures. Better than any other forum I've been to. But I still dare not register. there were far too many lame asses...
But damn, it's still such a shame to see them go.

the same way it was grown for thousands of years before overgrow.
All the info on OG is still out there. Its just not all in one place anymore.

psychonaut-I don't really like that link, there's some questionable advice on there. Fermenting cannabis does not make it more potent, perhaps more toxic...
I personally found OG to be very informative and there was a lot of brainstorming and different setups, creative solutions to common problems. I miss it fer sure, but am proficient enough to not really need it.
