How to Grow Marijuana?

[mediator_ram]

Growing weed can seem so complicated, but it's probably just because you don't have the right information. Growing weed is actually pretty easy and anyone with a few extra minutes a day and a spare closet can grow weed. And you can try by playing some marijuana games like king-of-pot.com to make yourself use to their time intervals in the stages of germination, growth, flowering and drying.

You see, even for those who can legally grow marijuana, there aren't many simple resources that explain from start to finish what you need to do to grow cannabis successfully, especially if you're on a budget or only have a small space to work with.

Cannabis is a weed in the wild and can actually be really easy to grow, but it can seem impossible to get started if you don't know what to do.

Introduction to Growing Cannabis: How to Grow Weed

How to Grow Your Own Marijuana - Cannabis plants are weeds with simple needs. In order to thrive and grow, your weed needs:

1. Light (this has the biggest effect on yields)
2. Air (well-ventilated with a slight breeze is best)
3. A Grow Medium (place to grow, soil isn't your only choice)
4. The right Temperature (room temperature or a little warmer is perfect during the day, cannot stand freezing at night)
5. Nutrients (usually half as much as what's recommended on the package)
6. Water (maintain pH for best results, 6.0-7.0 for soil and 5.5-6.5 for hydroponics)

When growing marijuana plants indoors or outdoors, you will need to ensure that it gets the proper amount of all six of these resources.

One of the most common mistakes made by new weed growers is to conduct spur-of-the-moment experiments and kill their plants.

You should always at least do a quick google search before you try any new technique.

Why make your plants be the guinea pig of an experiment that someone else has already tried before?

For example, it may seem like a good idea to feed your growing cannabis with Miracle-Gro, but Miracle-Gro does not contain the right formulation of nutrients for cannabis and using it can actually hurt your plants if you don't know what you're doing.

You don't want to lose your entire crop to something that has already been tried before and proven not to work, so make sure you do a little research and experiment with caution and moderation.

Another common problem new growers have is the tendency to skip crucial steps like maintaining a proper pH or getting the right kind of nutrients. While you can get lucky and succeed at growing weed without taking these steps, you are a lot more likely to end up plants that die or just never produce any buds.

It can actually be really easy to grow marijuana, so start by reading this simple grow guide and you will have all the knowledge you need to start producing your own potent buds today!

Growing Indoors vs Outdoors

There are many considerations to take into account when deciding whether to grow your plant indoors or outdoors.

There are two major ways to grow, indoors and outdoors. Some people will use a mixture of the two and grow their plants indoors during the vegetative stage when they need constant light, then transport them outdoors when they are ready to start flowering and only need 12 hours of light a day.

Growing Marijuana Outdoors

Major Considerations:

Grow area must avoid detection for several months by potential thieves
Grower must have easy access to grow area and should be able to visit once every 1-2 weeks
There needs to be a convenient source of water nearby
Area should be well lit and optimally has light from at least 10am-4pm (more is better)
The climate should have a warm growing season, the longer the better
Plants must be planted at a certain time of the year and often there can only be one crop a year
Longer Grow Time
Potential interference from bugs, animals, flooding, and other uncontrollable factors

Benefits:

Easiest method since marijuana plants need less tending in their natural environment
Cheapest start-up costs since there is free light and ventilation
Bigger plants
Many people feel that outdoor growing just produces the best pot

Growing Marijuana Indoors
As someone who lives in the suburbs of a city, far away from any wilderness, I can only safely grow weed indoors.
Attachment 293779
Major Considerations:

Must have enough room to grow indoors and be able to avoid detection
Start-up costs can be pretty high depending on grow system
Maintenance cost (electricity) can get expensive depending on the grow system and number of plants
Must have good ventilation and keep grow area clean
More upkeep than growing outdoors

Benefits

Shorter grow time
Easier to be discrete about growing
Ability to control all aspects of environment to produce a consistent good bud
Can have many crops a year

Choose Your Growing Medium
Attachment 293780
Your growing medium is what you will grow your plants in.

You can successfully grow marijuana plants in soil and other sorts of non-soil (soil-less) mediums, or you could grow your plants directly in water or even in moist air!

Each growing medium that you use will have different care and watering requirements. You may want to research the different options and choose something that's right for your grow area and experience level.

If it's your first grow, I personally recommend learning how to grow weed with something easy like coco coir, and then feeding your plants according to a regular hydroponic feeding schedule (at half-strength to start). You will get great results without having to invest much money or time.

I think we have a writer in our midst. Good job

[Shovelhandle]

I've read this same article on "Hipforums", "Stonerhaven" and "Growweedeasy" .coms. Is this your work? Nicely Done!

[1st timer]

where do you buy all your stuff from? Is all of this available in India? I can imagine hard to get and expensive, if possible at all?

[Esteban1]

Stuff meaning pizza? If so Italy, better yet Taconellis.


:hippy:

In from India originally and never found things like this too easy to get. Not a big growing culture there because the growers grow huge quantities outdoors and its easy to buy.
Stuff meaning coco coir, lighting and ballasts type of thing. But thinking about it now, why would you grow indoors when you have wonderful constant sun everyday
