Starting fresh.. I need help with everything.

[ZoSo]

My goal is to grow the most potent autoflower sativa in a 4x4 tent in my normal height room next to my window. I'm a disabled vet who has no clue how to do this, but I really need this and I'm calling out to you guys for help.
Thank you ahead of time.

Potency is only one aspect of what one may need when utilizing marijuana for whatever malady that came from military service. And potency is not always the answer. You should begin researching CBD and the many various strains available.

For instance, if you suffer from paranoia/anxiety, less can certainly be more. Some users only need one hit to feel better. More hits, then it's down the rabbit hole they go. You will want to find out how well indica and sativa works with your body and at what amount of hits. I put my body through many tests when I first began using marijuana for pain. Effects of time frames. Vaping every hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours. Every 1 or 2 hours stacked too much in my system and made me feel too damn lethargic. Like a hangover in a way. Not good. Every 4 to 6 hours was much better. Even 3 hours was better. And I have no need to go beyond 2 to 3 hits. The most consistent has been 2 hits.

For sleep I use indica exclusively. With and without CBD. Sativa and CBD keeps me more up, so that is for daytime. Try not to get too hung up on potency. I can get my desired high with 10-15% THC, as easily with say 23% THC. There is much to learn and wish you good luck.

Hey 420, thanks for the welcome.. appreciate it. When it comes to this whole growing thing I'm a "Fool in the Rain". All the knowledge I need is "Over the Hills and Far Away". You see that?.. double zep shot. lol
I have nothing. That is what I would like advice on. What equipment I need. All that I know is that a 4x4 tent is ideal. I have severe chronic conditions such as neuropathy, back pain, depression, and fatigue. I definitely want one indica, but I got to have the sativa, too, or else I'll be laid up like an old "Black Dog".

Hello,
I understand what you're saying and I would like to try a couple of some good strains of sativa and a good strain of indica.. just for starters. I'm just at a loss as to how to start. I don't know what equipment to buy, I don't want to buy the wrong equipment, I want quality, but at a reasonable cost and so on. Is there an official guide with all of this type of info.?

Hiya @ZoSo if you have a look around the grow journals you'll get a good idea of setups folks are running, mostly they'll list their bits n bobs on page 1. Also some of us have tables in our tents to make them more user friendly. Welcome to AFN bud

mmm, seemz ur feelin a bit trampled under foot, eh-? :smoking: well, there are so many diff factorz involved, and after the cowz come home, a whole lot of it boilz down to jus good ol' trial & error (lotz of errorz, haha) and experience...it'z a constant learning process, whether u've done one grow or a hundred...it'z all about finding your groove, and above all, never giving up

so let'z see, off the top o' me head, are u in a legal state-? or wait, are u even in the statez-? lol either way, is stealth an issue-?...as far as smell, nozy neighborz/family, etc-? for instance, smell izn't an issue in me own grow, so a charcoal filter izn't needed...i'm basically a semi-micro grower, on an extreme budget, so a good part of my setup is old school diy & ghetto, lol...the point being that good growz can def be achieved without havin to spend an arm & a leg ...or at least not yet trust me, once u get started, "the list" never endz, lol

ok, anyway, there are nevertheless certain itemz u def wanna have in ur toolbox, such as a good ph pen & soil ph meter...and of course, there'z the whole soil or hydro thing, and bein ur first go, i'd suggest soil...and yes, u'll get a thouzand diff suggestionz on what kinda soil to uze, but truth to tell, dirt is dirt, lol the whole key to it is nutrientz really, and again, if u wanna make thingz simple the first go round, i'd suggest goin with Megacrop, made by Greenleaf Nutrientz...great stuff!

and of course -> lightz that one i'll defer to otherz, as i'm by no meanz a light guru, lol...hell, i grow under a combo of cfl, t5'z & reg household led bulbz but hey, it workz u'll also need fanz...intake, exhaust, and a couple for general airflow in the tent...plantz hate still, stagnant air & good airflow is all-impotante'

now, as to strain choice, i'm a diehard indica man meself, so my reco'z will be a bit bias, lol...for indicaz, i alwayz reco NL, blueberry, and/or granddaddy purple however, one sativa dom i def like is tangie

and this is turnin into a book & i need to get to bed, lol...i'll be followin along, but otherz will be chimin in too, and like sab said, g'head & cruize around the site...jus take ur time & sponge up sum info, cuz there'z a lot of it here, lol...for now, i'll leave u with theze morselz -> 1) the plantz will tell u everything u need to know...it'z all about learning how to read & listen to them, 2) KISS...Keep It Simple Stupid...don't overthink, overanalyze, and def don't overwater! and last, but by no meanz least -> 3) p a t i e n c e grasshopper, p a t i e n c e ppp

Kinda excited for ya Zoso! Its a really nice, therapeutic hobby to get involved in, remember everybody here was where you are now as far as a grow goes and everyday is still a schoolday for all of us

Bro,
As heres a link for you to check out some strains for neuropathy another site the easiest way to get yourself going for a good crop is a bubble bucket ( plastic bucket with aquarium airpump and stone in the base ) the roots hang in and all you need to do is change the water every week or 2 ... you can even make them yourself... you can get all caught up in different styles of grow- living soil coco coir dwc rdwc and the list goes on but reality is us disabled veterans just want to sit and look at the pretty green thing getting bigger under the bright glowy thing while listening to the humm of bubbles and thinking of what a shithole Fallujah is.

my advice is get a 20l bucket and an aquarium bubbler and an elcheapo light from the local hardware store and be on your way for $50 tomorrow- get cracking on while you ponder the complexities of the best lights grow-styles and nutrients etc .... out


edit... veterans not fuckin veterinarians...ffs
