-The soil should also contain humus for retaining moisture and nutrients.

I use 2 parts potting soil, one part peat, and one part perrilite.

1 - Germinate
-Place the seed between six moist paper towels.
-Wait between one day to one week for the sprouts to develope
-Plant the seed as soon as it crack open and begins to sprout. Place it on some moist soil and sprinkle a little soil over top of it.

Just drop the babies in a coffee cup full of water and leave it by a heat duct for about 48 hrs., cover the top so it don't get light...don't touch the seed or root...use a tweezers. plant it down about a half inch.

2 - Grow
-Lighting
-One 2 foot flouresent lighting unit, cool white and soft white tubes.
*Keep light 2 inches above plant
*Plants grow during the day and flower during the night
*24 hours of light till plant is 10 inches tall and then 12/12 lighting

When ya go to 12/12 you may want to add some lights to the sides...that'll help with the bud in the under gowth.

3 - Harvest
First, pull the plant up roots and all and hang it upside down for 24 hours. Then put each plant in a paper grocery bag with the top open for three or four days or until the leaves feel dry to the touch. Now strip the leaves off the stem and put them in a glass jar with a lid. Don't pack the leaves in tightly, you want air to reach all the leaves. The main danger in the curing process is mold. If the leaves are too damp when you put them into the jar, they will mold and since the mold will destroy the resins, mold will ruin your marijuana. you should check the jars every day by smelling them and if you smell an acrid aroma, take the weed out of the jar and spread it out on newspaper so that it can dry quickly. Another method is to uproot the plants and hang them upside down. You get some burlap bags damp and slip them up over the plants. Keep the bags damp and leave them in the sun for at least a week. Now put the plants in a paper bag for a few days until the weed is dry enough to smoke. Like many fine things in life, marijuana mellows out with age. The aging process tends to remove the chlorophyll taste.

First I trim off all the leaf that has no trichomes (garbage). Then I hang the full plant for 15 days. Trim off the branches from the main stalk and prune the leaf off your bud. Leave the leaf sit for about 2-3 days and then put into mason jars. After about 7 days put your bud into mason jars. Open the jars for a half hour each day for 2 weeks and then all you have to do is enjoy!

That is at least my method...there are others. Good Luck!!! :thumbsup:
