Awesome videos...just wanted to know a couple of things cuz im new to this on a budget...how much light is needed for the seedlings that just spouted...i have a 60 watt cfl and a 27 watt cfl hanging now...i just germinated and planted them...
hi jason i just planted my seeds in soil i feel real confident abouth this one for the past couple of days i been trying differ ways one came up green but stem was short and it seem like it stop growing it was curved over so i got a cup of soil didnt have pot seal it with wrap how long should i wait
great instructions jason. Ive followed them to the t however, my plants all lean over and die around week three. I use marical grow for soil,my light is strong enough and i also provide enough water.. I grow in a corner in my room and the weather where im at is humid. Any suggestions?

A seedling in the window will stretch however if under a good T5 it would not be aplicable even thoshgh the video is old I remember where I raised the seeds and it was in the window thus with the stretching came the need ti stake the seedling.
hi jason, i have a question about what kind of soil and ingredients to grow a healthy plant.also, i'm lost and confused about ratio and measurements. i need guidance. i'm a firs time grower.
Hey Jason..I am a beginner...and I think your germination video was friendly and informational...I dont have the proper grow space ..I have been using space by the bathroom light inside a plastic covering..to conceal the surrounding elements...the seed I dont know where they came from.. can I get an awesome strain from Canada I'm the U.S. and will I get caught by customs if I order from Canada...could you please get back with me...I enjoyed your lessons and want to get better..it started as fun
hey jason, just wondering is you can recommed any reliable places to buy seeds online from canada. hopeing to get bc god bud or god bud, is vancover seed bank ok?
LOL! Someone posted Part 1 in a cannabis forum I frequent, and that was my comment... how does it take over 8 minutes to tell people to poke a 2mm hole in soil, plop the seed in there, and cover it with plastic to keep the humidity high? LOL
im sorry but u should have talked just a little about light even with floresent lighting if u keep the plant close to the lights it wont want to stetch out as much and thicken up stalk instead of wanting to fall
depends whats wrong with it.. is it pale? or does it look really dirty and dull? no shine? you might have one of many infections.. or they might be too dry... too heated... could be a lot of things.. describe the problem better than "funky"..
i need help this is my first grow i baught some rockwool 5 kush seeds from a dlo seed bank it says guarantee 8 of 10 female i put 2 seeds in 2 cubes soaked in ph 5.5 water left it for a week kept it moist n then a week l8r i got tired of waiting so i opened oneto see if any root production started or anything but wen i opened it i saw that
jason you are my canabis guru, if you get any time i have a couple questions ( mainly being where i could get that book you mention ) keep up your good work !!
what did you do with those seedlings after you finished this video? did u put them back in the green house? under a light with that heating matt? your video doesnt really explain much
When a male enters the stage of flower development the tips of the branches where a bud would develop will tart to grow what looks like a little bud (little balls) but it will have no white hairs coming out of it. Females are completely revealed when the characteristic "V" shaped pistils become visible. Outdoors males will uncover themselves usually around three weeks before the females, indoors sexing of both males and females happens within a week to ten days according to the variety.
Jason, i saw all three of your videos, very nice. How come you did not mention anything about lighting. I have been growing for a while also, and i also use the same method. My seeds seem to sprout in less then three days. I plant them just as you did, but place them under twenty four hours of light. Have you tried that. Also I see that your mother plant is very tall, have you tried topping it off to make it more bhushier. Nice videos though.
I found an old seed in a drawer a couple years ago, dropped that in my flower garden and it popped up in 3 days and was growing a new node every other day. it was a super plant, grew to 8 inches 5 nodes in 2 weeks and then somebody jacked it.
Now i just picked out some ordinary seed that i had from smoking some good shit. I planted it And about 1 week later it sprouted without any light @ all.. Its 1 week and 2 days now. But i havent given the seedling any light do u have any advice u can give me?
Like what Kind of light should i use?
Should i keep the light over the plant as soon as it sprouts?
Great video.. but to mAke a Long story Short.. I used a 250 HPS when my plant was about say 3 months or so & it just started to show signs of budding but unfortunately i had 2 put the plant outside 1 day because i was moving and someone had 2 come look @ the rooms.. Seems like when i Brought it back inside & it started withering away lol. that was my first grow.
Nicely done Jason, I myself know the pains of Cultivating Cannabis and support you in your efforts. It is a strong plant type and at times a very annoying one Im sure you have noticed, but isn't the reward far greater than the price.
Nirvana's White Widow was my first grow. I wish I could have seen some of your videos before I jumped the gun. Drowned 9/10 of my seeds. I planted them and waited for weeks. Lucky for me and all my Acquaintances 1 survived and she is the mother to many.
so do u just kill the males? also if ur not happy with a plant i heard u break it up into 4 parts and bury it and it grows back stronger? is that true?
hello mate, uk sheepy hear, just lookin at you video again, has helped a lot in the beggining to get better germ rate's cheer's,, um in this part all of ya god's are up, from look'in at the screen looks like you got three boys and two girls am i right or completely wrong???? from the screen front left and back right are girl's??? would you let me know please just from my own reasons really to see if i got it right or wrong.. cheers for all your help
hay jason..great video man,im just getting ready to plant 10 lowryder2`s,ur info really helped me alot even though were growing diff plants,its my 1st indoor job and just hoping they come in time for christmas! anywayz thanks again. (leprechaun country!!!)
yer mate as soon as you see it crack and or a little white tail shows put it straight into your medium of choice,then i suggest you follow jasons advise and greenhouse em,,see ya sheepy
ive got some seeds in jiffy pellets in a propogator under a strong light (600 watts ) . i was just wondering how long was it before your seeds germinated under the 400 watt light , im asking because mine is 3 days old now and still no signs of growth
i dident even put my seed under the light untill they popped above ground and were like an inch tall..i just had them in little container of soaked dirt in my dome with a heating pad under it. it took 3 or 4 days tho
hey iv got my three 1week old seedlings under a 25w cfl. how long shouldi have them under this untill i have to change to different lights or more lights?
I have been living with HIV/AIDS for 15 years and indeed cannabis is medicinal for me. As for loving weed hell yes that's a given!
As for recreational I see more recreational users finding they use cannabis for medical reasons they were not even thinking of. I guess what I am saying is that by smoking or ingesting the cannabis flowers of the plant we all medically benefit in some fashion. Cheers!
i wouldn't criticize Canada about not giving out info on growing ur plants...i applaud them for even letting u grow! wish we could here in the states. theres info everywhere on the net and at the shops to help people grow dont criticize and just be happy with what u got. thanks
You are so familial with our Medical Marijuana Program or MMAD would it surprise you to know we have only 3400 of 400,000 estimated medical users in Canada after 10 million and 7 years there is no excuse.
As for the US programs in Oregon, California, New York and so forth all have 10X the number of state run cannabis programs. Some with more then 10,000 people registered to grow. Just not federally for you. So with the facts on the table who suck at this cannabis war. We are not legal we are regulated to grow temporarily till the feds phase out the regulation allowing us to grow and not a LAW!
Stay concerned with your own country for you have your own problems and without facts you look .
hey thanks for the help, ive grown a plant its about 6 inches but it kept seeming to bend over at the top so i burried up to about and inch from the leaves, to give it a better base, any advice would be great
hey man thanks for the advice, i am keeping the plant in an area with about 2 hours of evening sunlight, i will take your advice and move it to and sunnier spot. do u know approximatly how many hours of sun a growing small plant needs per day?
is the general standard ... but this is for artificial lighting, i'd assume it'd be just about the same for sunlight, you can fiddle with the veg times if you want, just keep them consistent once you've decided on a time regime.
When you're inducing flower, don't fuck with the timing (if you can) :P most importantly, DO NOT let ANY light reach your plants during the dark cycle, it'll confuse em, you'll end up with hermies, or no flowering at all

ooasdf 3 years ago
Good day,
If the plant is falling over I would be inclined to think it may not be getting enough light with the correct spectrum.
You did the right thing by re0inforcing the base. Now check to see if you can get better lighting on the girl then the plant should be fine.
The next time it is falling over let's hope it is from large heavy buds, thus you would neet to stake them up with bamboo sticks to finish flowering.
May the grow gods be with you!
