Issue #595 - Sunday, September 17, 2023 Dear Fellow Grower, In today's issue... - Would you like the ability to harvest more than a pound of weed from a tent that's only 4x4? Trick question! Of course you do! You're in luck, my friend. This week, we'll show you how to extract an obnoxious amount of weed from a
medium-sized tent. If you're not interested, I'm guessing you can already harvest more from a smaller place, or you've somehow ended up here from an alternate dimension where weed isn't fun.
- Could your plant be suffering from Beet Curly Top Disease? This strange condition causes the top leaves of your plants to grow in bundles of curls. See the pics and learn how to protect your plants!
- Get some weed in your system and prepare
for pleasant jaunt through some green, sticky, gorgeous gardens. This week's "Trophy Pics of the Week" are a sublime mixture of well-raised cannabis plants hanging out in the outdoor sun, and one plant who is showing why indoors is awesome. Check it out and you'll see what I mean...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Ready to harvest more than a pound of top-notch cannabis right from your own 4×4′ grow tent? Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Turning that dream into a reality is fully within your grasp, and I’m going to show you exactly how to produce a pound of weed in your home. Harvesting a pound (that’s an eye-popping 16 ounces) of your own top-shelf cannabis is about more than just the weight. It’s also about
independence from buying, the delight of sharing your crop with others, and the freedom to have so much weed you never run out so you can do whatever you want, including make your own goodies like edibles, extracts, and tinctures (which can use a lot of cannabis at a time!). A large tent is a grow tent that’s 4’x4′ (1.2mx1.2m) or larger. A grow tent sized at 4’x4’x6.5′ (1.2mx1.2mx2m) provides an ideal middle ground between space and ease of management. This is a manageable size but has plenty of extra height in case plants
get taller than expected.
Example Plants Grown in This Size Tent
Cannabis plants grown in a 4'x4' grow tent under a 600W HPS.
Six plants under a 600W LED grow light in 4'x4'x6.5' (these are only on day 38 of flowering).
Two Hydroponic Plants under a 600W HPS in 4'x4'x7' grow tent - Yielded 23.09 oz at harvest!
Could Your Plant Have Beet Curly Top Virus?

Example of a plant suffering from Beet Curly Top. Curly Top is Usually Spread by Leafhoppers Beet Curly Top commonly affects beets, and has unfortunately started infecting cannabis plants as well.
This is still relatively rare
so most growers don't need to worry about it. It is usually spread by leafhoppers, most especially the beet leafhopper pictures below. Learn more about Beet Curly Top Disease! This species of leafhopper is the culprit that most commonly spreads Beet Curly Top
virus.

High-Yield Strain Spotlight

Kushberry Moonrocks creates big yields of purple buds with a ton of sparkle. 3 Examples of High-Yield Genetics Part of getting 1-lb
harvests is to start with high-yielding strains.
I recommend growers follow today's tutorial with photoperiod strains to ensure you get a full pound or more. Click here to learn why. Examples of excellent high-yielding photoperiod strains (these are all feminized
seeds, which means every plant with be a bud-making female plant) - Wonder Woman by Nirvana – Enormous yields every time. A true commercial producer and the highest-yielding strain I’ve ever grown. Buds are skunky with classic old-school weed effects, but not particularly high potency.
- Platinum Cookies by Seed Supreme – Excellent yields and the bud quality is out of this world. The purple-tinted buds tested at 25-27% THC when we grew it and the effects were a crowd favorite. This strain tends to get tall, but responds well to bending and supercropping to keep it short and flat. It has a 12-week flowering stage, which is a few
weeks longer than average, but the yield and bud quality are worth 2 extra weeks in my opinion.
- Kushberry Moonrocks by MSNL – Great yields, pretty purple color on buds, averages around 28% THC, only a 10-week flowering stage.
Effects are relaxing but very potent (definitely a strain meant to be enjoyed at home).

Look Who's Talking!

"Hello, I've been reading your articles and website for at least 10 years I think it's been at least that long probably longer. (I grew up in San Diego lol how funny. In Clairemont. I miss it.). What you do is so damn commendable I gotta say. I grow indoors in a tent and have been reading your articles and tips for such a long time and it really helped especially with topping and training. I still refer to you when I have an issue or need some instructions or information or honestly when bored also it's my first and usually only place to look for good
advice. Thank you."
~Mike A reader since the beginning and a son of San Diego? That's a double A+ in my book! ~Sirius

Let's Turn Scammers Into A Joke!
|
|
"Hey Steve, you have to see this guy!"
|
Notice the general lack of panic from the other people? Believe it or not, this is actual footage of a man attempting to rob a bank with a meat cleaver. The teller (who he's attempting to rob) turns and laughs at him because this bank has bulletproof windows, probably for this exact reason. I don't know if the robber knew about the bulletproof glass, but that would have been an important fact to know
before initiating the robbery. I only bring this up to illustrate a point. The man in the video above might normally be a scary, threatening, hardened criminal, but without the right tools for the job, he's literally a joke. Scammers are the exact same thing. When they don't have your information, or when their scammer tricks don't work on you, they're essentially this guy: someone who is no longer a real threat and is more of a waste of time. Remember, the only thing that's
acceptable for a scammer to take from you is harsh rejection. Stay safe! Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone
call, email, etc.).

GrowWeedEasy.com has hundreds and hundreds of pages! Check out some articles you may not have seen... 600W Premium LED Cannabis Grow Setup & Shopping List - Don't tell anyone, but I have two large cannabis plants growing right now and they're doing great! I'm using a 600W HLG LED setup which is almost identical to the setup linked above. The lights are powerful, but they make a pleasing colored light which is both good for growing plants and monitoring your leaf health.
My only problem with my lights is that one plant likes them too much and has gone absolutely berserk! How to Research & Find the Right Strain - Researching your strains before you buy them comes with a heap of benefits. One is that you'll be growing something that you really want. Why grow just any old weed strain when you can grow something that excites you?
Another benefit is that you can make sure your strains match. For example, you don't want to be like me and be raising two plants of completely different sizes and growth patterns. Don't be like Sirius...do some research! Topping Cannabis Guide: How to Top Your Plants - "Topping" might be the easiest way to increase the amount of
weed your plants can produce. It seems scary to do the first few times, but for a seasoned grower, topping can take mere seconds per plant. Talk about a massive return on your time investment! All you do is spend a few seconds on a plant and its potential is instantly and dramatically magnified. If you love our newsletter, here are 5 Free Ways to Support GrowWeedEasy.com!

Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics). "Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady
characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
