Growing Weed For Beginners

Once your grow is complete you are going to want to harvest your crop right? Hell yeah you are. Start by cutting the stem at the bottom and then cut of the branches that have the buds on. Now what you are going to need to do is trim around buds to remove the leaf growth that has happened during the grow. Be carefull doing this as you do not want to cut bits of the bud off.

Once you have trimmed the leaves off your buds you are then going to need to store the buds, preferably hanging them on a bit of string at room tempreature for the buds to dry out and cure.

Well that sort of sums it up, have phun smoking.

Once your plant's are under going 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness (flowering stage) your going to need to start adding nutrients to your water in order to feed your plant's as the soil they have been in will have no remaining nutrients left as the plants will have used them up.

The nutrients i would advise if this is your first grow is BioBizz - Bloom + BioBizz - Grow. You should choose these nutrients as they are a little more forgiving than other nutrients out there such as canna. Your going to buy the grow and bloom variations of the biobizz nutrients because they seem to lack Nitrogen but by using both grow and bloom we defeat that object.

To start with give your plants 2ml of grow and 2ml of bloom per 1 liter of water and from then on watering your plants with the added nutrients every 2-3 days. as your plants grow and start relying on the nutrients your going to want to up the amount of nutrietns added to each liter water by 1 maybe 2ml accordingly.

Above is a picture of 2 plants, the left is male as stated in the picture and the right is the female. Notice the ball shaped sacks on the male plant, these are called pollen sacks. If these pollen sacks were to open up around your female plants the females would be pollenated and you would end up with some very seedy bud. If you do not want seeds in your bud it is advised that you remove of and kill the male plants as soon as sex starts showing which is usually after about 2 weeks into the flowering stage.

Watering your plants is a vital stage throughout your grow. Over watering can damage your plants more than a severe dry spell can. When watering your plants your going to need to use either mineral water that can be bought in any super market or boiled tap water to remove any chlorine traces as chlorine can damage your plants root system. When you are giving your plants water you should give them enough so that you see a few drips come out of the drainage holes at the bottom of your pots. Your going to follow this process every 2-3 days.

A good way to check if your plants need watering or not is to put your finger about an inch down in the soil to check whether it is still moist, if it is still moist then they do not need watering.

Throughout your grow you are going to need a basic mechanical plug socket timer to force your plants into the different stages of growth. It is best to start with 18 hours of light and 6 hours darkness through the vegetative stage of your grow.

Depending how long you leave your plants in the vegetative stage which is entirely upto you (the longer the bigger the yield) your going to need to move onto the flowering stage which requires the red spectrum light i mentioned in an earlier post and 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

The main piece of equipment you need when growing weed if your growing indoors in some lights. What i found most cost effective were envirolites, they are fair priced and do not use alot of electricity like other lights do such as HPS and MH.

Your going to need to two lights throughout your grow, 125w blue spectrum envirolite for the vegetative stage and a 200w red spectrum envirolite for the flowering stage.
