New to growing seeking advice

Welcome.
You are in the right place. What kinda soil, lights, dry nutes, containers, fans? Clones are a great starting place as well. Clean well established cuts. Something everyone agrees is :fire:. Seeds are wonderful because of the opportunity each seed brings. Those I95 and Lavender Daydreams are interesting. Could find a keeper. Or you could grow a pre identified keeper from someone like Farmer Joe.

You’re off to a great start either way.

Peace

I kinda wanted to get at least a couple grows under my belt before I start thinking about pollinating anything. If I should open pollinate those Ancient OG perhaps it would be better to wait? Wouldn’t want to kill them if they are worthy of being preserved lol

I just have a couple bags of fox farm (happy frog and ocean forest) a bunch of plastic pots, LED’s (not sure the brand). I am not sure where to get clones and heard they can be pricy so I think I’ll try my hand at seeds first and see what I can find.

There are 20+ seeds in both of the lavender daydream and I95 so those might be a good place to start since I would have more if I kill any.

That is exactly what I was thinking, I imagine I will kill at least a few😂

Maybe a few fems are the best starting point. Let Og know if u need more fems. You have 20+ of each?

Edit: you mentioned dry nutes and plastic pots?

I have some smaller pots as well as 1, 2, and 4 gallon pots. Was thinking of flowering in the 2 gallons for my first go.

I have about 20 or so fems, which should be a good starting point I think. I appreciate the offer though. I may end up going with regular seeds to start just depends on where my research leads on what I think I should grow first.

small pots are noob booby traps and an egregious waste of time. dirt is literally dirt cheap. four ten gallon pots.

Noted, I guess I’ll go with the 4 gallons just because that’s the biggest I have at the moment and see how it goes!

Bigger pots more room for roots
Big pot = big roots = big plants

Remember water to the size of the plant not the pot
Meaning if you put a small plant in there use less water till the plant gets bigger
The plant will tell you what it needs

I will keep that in mind, is there any sort of watering guide to follow somewhere or is it just based on plant size?

I have to disagree here, this is true if you are doing autos but photos, you can vegg them as big as you want and a huge pot won’t lead to a tree, 4-5 gal Pots are ideal for Autos, for photos I would go with a 3 gal pot. At least that was my sweet spot.

About the strains, pop 2 of the same kind, don’t start up with mixes of strains because they are all pitty and slightly different so a starter should go as plain as he can.

Any strain will do, you try and move to next one next run.

I found out that there aren’t very specially hard strains to grow, they are all weed, they just have different needs and if you do right waterings and right ph, you can grow.

4 gallons is small for dry nutes. You did say you were feeding with dry nutes right?

if you went with fabric pots, effectively your only danger is under-watering. learning to hand-water is just doing it. lots of pot lifts and feel calibration

How tall are the tents? Definitely need to think about how much headroom you’ll have to world with to keep the lights an optimal distance above the canopy when they stretch in pre-flower. Some plants stretch a little, others stretch a lot.

Yeah dry amendments are what I have currently, down to earth to be exact. Was going to try to stick to what I have, but am open to suggestions of other nutrients if anyone has them. The more simple to use the better lol

The 3x3 is like 6ft and the 2x4 is 5ft I believe.

You’ll need to train the plants short, especially in the 5ft tall tent.
