Beginning grower...any tips?

Herbs are a good one to use, because many people grow their own herbs indoors. And marijuana cultivation is very similar to herb cultivation.
 
alright you guys, no biggie. i asked someone about what the best soil is and they asked me what i was growing, i didn't tell them anything. they can kiss my ass.... i was looking online at some organic spray fertilizer called terracycle. sounds good. figure i'll try it on one or two of my plants, not all of them. if it screws them up, then it only screws up a few.
 
by the way, how and when am i going to be able to tell if it is a female or male plant? might sound like a stupid question...
 
You can tell in veg but that's normally at like 8 weeks of veg. So the main way u can tell sex is once u have thrown the plants into flowering they will show sex around the first week for the males and anytime after that for the females. Basically males show up first.
 
i named my best plant so far 'ivory', movie reference...how high. she is really doin good, gettin up to about 5" now.
 
oh and case u dont know, the males plants will show up with nuts lmfao, you will get preflowers, so DONT mistake them for pollen sacks, just wait a few more days, and see if they dont move out with a stem behind the ball, for female, you will see two white hairs called, pistols/pistils, not sure correct spelling but, remember 2 white hairs. vexy, why i say that, is because if you walk into a hydroponics store, you should do your research before you go in, be prepared, that also like urded said is part of growing, oh hey good job on those clones, lookin spiffy vexy, hey bro, dont use terracycle, go get worm castings, those plants are wayyyy to young, only use that during flowering, because it will intake more nutrients trying to keep up with its growth, meaning it can handle the nutes. worm castings are pretty safe.
 
yeah, i wasn't goin to use terracycle yet, i haven't even gotten it yet. i was goin to wait a while, just thinkin ahead. and i was off on the 5" part earlier, more like 3.5" i was just lookin at it from across the room and guessed
 
my dumbass friend came over to take a look at the children. he turns one of my lights off and on again real fast for some reason and it blows...
 
Rule number one:
Don't show dumbass friends your grow area. Do not even tell them you are growing.
 
I'm sorry, but anyone who is stupid enough to switch lights on and off would NOT be worthy of knowing about a grow.

But I trust in your judgement... just be careful ;)
