Do any of you guys who've grown before think it's possible to grow and harvest a few plants in under three months? Probably closer to 2-2 1/4?

start flowering from day 1 and go with something that flowers in under 8 weeks.

this will be my first adventure into growing my own plants, so you're going to have to talk in less slangy terms. What does "flowering from day 1" mean?

Usually people do vegetation for atleast a few weeks with lights on 24 hours a day or on 18 hours and off for 6 hours.

If you start with 12 hours on and 12 hours off then youll cut a few weeks off your harvest time. Your yield will suffer though and plants wont get as big.

You could start with clones too if you wanna speed it up a bit and dont want to wait for seeds to germinate and all that crap.

pretty sure it can be done, but good things take time.. research how lighting effects the growth rate like mentioned above and look into feeding them things some fish emulsion, basically like miracle grow with out the chemicals!

i agree with mazdakid, the clone thing is gonna be teh only way to produce that soon, i would go though a normal grow cycle and make me some clones for the second batch and go from there. Man ive come home to a whole room dead and to restart. it ***** but it happens. Good luck with your greenthumb lol

are you doing soil or a hydro setup? have your researched anything? what kind of wattage lamp you gonna be using? any growth stimulants?

i was just gonna mention chemistry lol check your levels daily if you do any type of hydro setup, i had good luck with a tray but ended up moving into a bucket system.

2 weeks BAM

Haha, I certainly do have a lot of research to do. I was going to grow just a few plants out of some small pots. But it sounds like to do this properly I should just wait until I have more than 3 months to work with.

what are we growing? orange trees or something?

With your expierence you wont be able to, the only way to do it properly would be to use an autoflowering strain or start from clones

Doing it that way will only get you an eighth maybe 4g's a plant. Cutting corners is not worth the end product. If you haven't started germination I would get on it. A lot of seeds fail germination. If you didn't buy the seeds from a seed bank than also you have to worry if they are fem or not. You do not want males.

I use the sea of green method for the fastest harvest. Just started a batch yesterday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Easiest and best seeds to grow are ruderalis/sativa hybrids.
