If you read this article and follow the three steps, you’ll produce exceptional weed (and tons of it) even if you make a bunch of mistakes. These techniques also increase overall marijuana bud quality, looks, and potency, so your homegrown buds look like this! Today I’ll break down the 3 things you need to get right to become a legendary grower. If you understand these three aspects of growing, you will get good results. Yes, even if you mess up quite a bit! Growing cannabis doesn’t have to be as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be. Typically, when growing weed feels difficult or frustrating, it’s because
you lack the information on what to direct your efforts toward. You just need to know the following three things, and you’ll be able to grow exceptional weed and get the yields you want. - Understand the cannabis life cycle
- Use the right equipment
- Start with quality genetics
Get ready to transform into a legendary indoor grower! 1.) Understand the basics of a cannabis plant’s life cycleA solid understanding of a cannabis plant’s
life cycle will make everything a million times easier for you! This cannabis life timeline is a quick overview of the main aspects you should know as a cannabis grower. Seed Germination – Seeds germinate into seedlings. Tips: I love modern versions of
the classic OG Kush strain. Easy to grow, lovely unique “kush” smell, with excellent bud effects. Vegetative Stage Plants grow only leaves and stems at first. Since all growth is vegetative, this is known as the vegetative stage. On average, plants gain half their final size in this
stage. Tips: - Pay attention to the environment – If it’s comfortable for you, it’s comfortable for your plants. Learn about the optimal cannabis environment. Getting your environment right now makes things easier when buds start forming.
- Watering habits – Learn how to water your plants perfectly, and pay attention if you notice drooping or signs of overwatering.
- Vegetative nutrients – Give all-purpose or
“grow” nutrients in the vegetative stage. In soil, wait four weeks before giving nutrients. However, in coco or hydro, give nutrients from the beginning. An example of a extremely simple vegetative nutrient that works great for cannabis plants in any grow medium is Dyna-Gro Grow (give at 1 tsp/gallon). For more advanced growers, Fox Farm nutrient trio (for soil) or General Hydroponics Flora trio (for coco or hydro) offer professional results. Learn about cannabis nutrients.
- Plant training (optional) – Helps increase yields and maximizes the size and density of buds, but plant training is not necessary for success. Skip this if you feel overwhelmed! Learn about plant training.
- Start flowering/budding at the right time – Move on to the next stage when you cannabis plants reach about half the final desired size. They will about double in size after they start budding in the flowering stage, which is their next stage of life. Initiating flowering at this point sets you up so your plants are the perfect size (not too big, not too little) at harvest, so you get max
yields but not overgrown plants.
Flowering Stage Initiate the flowering stage by giving plants a 12/12 light schedule (except auto-flowering strains, which start flowering on their own after 3-4 weeks). Once plants get a 12/12 light schedule, they start growing flowers/buds within 1-3 weeks. Plants can double in size after getting
12/12 on average, though the amount of “stretch” depends greatly on the strain. Once buds form, the time until harvest is determined by the strain. Tips: - Initiate a 12/12 light schedule when plants are about half the final desired size. Learn about “12/12” and cannabis light
schedules.
- Pay attention to the environment (especially make sure it’s not hot or humid) – Learn about environment effects on bud quality.
- Watering – Watering techniques should be about the same as before, though plants will be drinking more overall. The main
thing that changes is the amount of nutrients you provide.
- Nutrients– Switch to flowering or “Bloom” nutrients. Dyna-Gro Bloom (at 1 tsp/gallon) is super simple and effective. If you’ve
been using professional nutrients like Fox Farm nutrient trio (for soil) or General Hydroponics Flora trio (for coco or hydro), switch to their included
“flowering schedule” which will change up the ratios to give plants what they need while buds form.
- Plant pruning (optional) – These two main techniques increase yields by ensuring all buds get tons of direct light. As a bonus, the top buds on the plants get the biggest, densest, and most potent, so these types of training maximizes bud quality, too, since all your buds will be top buds.
- Problem resolution – Many growers notice leaf symptoms in the second half of the flowering stage because plants are much
pickier than in the vegetative stage. This is normal and a common issue for beginner growers. Don’t panic, but don’t ignore problems either. Check the plant doctor for help diagnosing the cause, and then fix the issue before it affects your harvest. Also, here’s some help on controlling height.
Plants are a bit more picky about the environment and nutrients in the late flowering stage, but they’ll reward you if you follow the above tips!
Harvest Harvest cannabis buds when they’re mature, dry them, then jar them for storage and curing. Tips: Harvest cannabis buds when they’re ready! How to Use a “Grow Cube” to Grow CannabisA beginner grower recently asked, “How do I grow cannabis in a grow cube like that?” I realized this grow setup really is like a “grow cube” for marijuana plants. It keeps in smells and nurtures small cannabis plants from when they’re seedlings to a productive harvest. A Cannabis Grow Cube with a good LED grow light can produce a ton of weed in a small space. For this size tent, I recommend an LED that uses about 100W of electricity. A bigger size tends to get a bit too hot
for this small space. All of the pictures on this tutorial page feature either the HLG 100 V2 4000k or Spider Farmer SF1000
(which are both 100W LED grow lights) and those models work great. However, any high-quality cannabis LED grow light in the 100W size range should work. When set up right, you can produce a surprising amount of weed in a tiny space! Ready to Master Your Grow? Join Us! Hey growers!
