Issue #687 - Sunday, June 22, 2025 Hey grower! In today's issue... - Give your seedling a strong start! You might not be able to make your seedling an athlete that attends MIT or Harvard, but today's article will show you how to do the next best thing. Don't just baby your seedlings, make them into child
prodigies!
- Top-Shelf Bud. Multiple Ounces in as little as 90 Days. Guaranteed! We made an online course, and it's what Nebula used to teach her dad how to grow weed for the first time at the age of 70. He was already a happy guy, but now he's really happy.
- Yes, autoflowering plants can be safely trained! Check it out as Nebula carefully teaches the plants to grow in a flat, table-like manner. This technique is a
must-know for any cannabis grower.
- Grower Spotlight: If there was a such thing as a weed-hammock... This would be it, I would take a nap in it, smoke it, and never get out. This picture is courtesy of one of our students in Home Grow Masterclass.

"The beginning is the most important part of the work." ~Plato How to Start Strong: Fast-Growing Cannabis SeedlingsMany cannabis growers struggle with seed germination and seedling care. That’s normal! But cannabis germination and happy seedlings become easy with the right techniques. Here’s what to do: Follow the steps in this “fast start” seedling tutorial. Your cannabis seedlings will grow so fast that other growers
won’t believe how big they are for their age. These autoflowering cannabis plants are just 1 month from germination. They got off to an ultra-strong start using the techniques in this tutorial! Starting strong is an important aspect of achieving big yields with cannabis. Especially autoflowering strains, which have an extra short seedling period. 1.) Germination – Plant Directly in SoilMy recommended germination method for the strongest start is to plant the seed directly in the coco or soil. This way you never have to move your seedlings after they
sprout. Plant your cannabis seeds and keep them warm during germination. Warmth is key to fast, strong seed germination. 2.) Light Schedule – 18/6 ON/OFFMy recommended light schedule for seedlings is 18 hours light/day. You can give cannabis plants up to 24 hours of light a day, but giving a 6-hour night increases the overall hardiness of seedlings vs giving them no dark period. Use a cheap electrical timer to turn your grow lights on and off for you. Set it to turn the lights off for 6 hours a day. Perfect for cannabis seedlings. Just plug your grow light into the timer, and the timer into an electrical outlet. Now you’re good to go! The timer turns the lights on and off for you on the 18/6 schedule. 3.) Watering Seedlings – In a small circle around the base, every 2-3 daysThe easiest way to stunt autoflowering seedlings is from poor watering. Give them the right amount of water (not too much, not too little) so they’re growing fast right out of the gate. Give just a little water at a time in a small circle around the base of new seedlings at first. Water every 2-3
days. 4.) Environment – Like a warm Spring dayAnalogy: Seedlings are kind of like the story of the 3 bears. Just like Goldilocks, seeds want the temperature just right. Not too cold, not too hot. Ideal Environment for Seedlings - Warm – 80-85°F / 27-30°C is a lovely warm-but-not-too-hot temperature range for new seedlings and young cannabis
plants.
- Medium-high humidity – 50-65% RH is a good humidity range after the seedlings have popped their heads above the soil.
- Breezy – Make sure plants have fresh air, plus a gentle breeze to strengthen stems and help prevent the possibility of mold or stem rot.
5.) Measure Your Success – How big to expect seedlings to be.Aim for 6 sets of new leaves by day 21 from germination. If plants have grown at least 6 sets of leaves in 3 weeks (day 21) from germination, you’re perfectly on track. If plants have fewer leaves than that, it’s okay, but you may still have room to improve your start. An average
“strong start” looks like this. These cannabis plants are 21 days from germination. Some are bigger than others, but overall they’re all growing fast and healthy. Even the smallest one has 6 sets of leaves (though the 6th set has just started growing in on that upper right plant). In perfect conditions, with fast-growing strains and a strong grow light, cannabis plants can get even bigger in that time. These autoflowering plants are also just 21 days from germination. Now that’s a STRONG start. By germinating seeds in their final destination, giving 18 hours of light a day, watering seedlings perfectly, and giving a perfect environment, you’ll get strong fast-growing seedlings that get big quickly and can start flowering as soon as possible to produce a big harvest. Give great care to your cannabis plants and they

Instructors for Home Grow Masterclass Grow Journal Update: Auto-Flowering Plants Trained to Grow Flat These are the plants a little over a month from germination. Today I used bending plus the supercropping technique to "train" all the plants to grow flat like a table. I bent all the tallest stems and tied them down
with plant twist tie. The result? A flat, wide plant canopy! This technique dramatically improves yields by increasing the number of top bud sites, as well as ensuring all buds are about the same distance from the grow light. By next week, plants should be covered in buds, and we should be only about 5 weeks away from harvest! Stay tuned! Nebula

"Just finished a harvest of Wonder Woman and a few Sour Diesel. Thanks to the masterclass I had a remarkable canopy from topping and relentless LST – attaching a Pic…made a fabulous tincture from that bud, and since there was so much more than expected I got to be the neighborhood Weed Granny for Christmas. Talk about putting smiles on everyone’s faces!!!! My very best to you." ~Tika A literal sea of buds! A beautiful sight 🏆 ~Nebula

Now, it is my mission to make it easy for new growers to get started while helping advanced growers get bigger, better yields with less time and money. We update/add articles every week. Anyone and everyone can grow if they want to! Learn which seed sources are recommended by Nebula Haze Sirius Fourside: 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!"
