“You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.” ~W.

Home grow gives you an unlimited supply of cheap, high-quality weed. Are you ready to grow your own weed at
home? Growing cannabis can seem like it's complicated, but often it only seems that way because you haven't been given the right information.

This cannabis growing guide will help you discover the best way to grow cannabis, for your unique situation. Find a grow style
for... - Your grow space
- Your budget

Outdoors is the most cost-effective way to grow. Sunlight is free. For indoor growers, a grow tent is worth the small investment. Grow tents give you bigger yields from the same grow light because reflective walls reflect back up to 97% of light. Plus a grow tent with a carbon filter lets you contain the smell of weed so no one knows you're growing weed but you. A small 2'x2' grow tent with 100W LED can grow up to
4 ounces. Growing cannabis plants is actually pretty straightforward, and almost anyone with a few extra minutes a day and a spare closet, a corner of a room, or a garden in the backyard can grow their own professional-quality buds at home. If you can follow basic instructions and remember to water your plants, you already have what it takes to grow great
weed. Homegrown Blue Dream buds. Don't Make the Most Common Cannabis Growing Mistake! The most common grower mistake is not following a proven guide. Don't reinvent the wheel. You can benefit from the mistakes of other growers to ensure your grow goes smoothly. If you follow the steps below, you'll grow great weed. Yes, even if it's your very first grow and you've
never grown a plant in your life. And of course, use the new improved search bar on GrowWeedEasy.com if you have questions. Our free tutorials cover every aspect of home grow.

Your Grow Questions: Answered
|
|
by Nebula Haze I recently asked you to share your toughest grow questions and it humbled me just how many of you took the time to share your struggles. I believe every grower should be smiling about their cannabis garden. Today let's close that gap, starting with 3 extremely common questions we received. More answers coming next
Sunday.
|
1.) How do I get consistent seed germination?Struggles with germination are extremely common. Luckily, seed germination is easy to master once you find the right technique. Learn how to turn seeds into fast-growing seedlings below. Example question "Only a handful of seeds have opened up while soaking, and none have sprouted. What do I do?" First off, if you buy seeds that don't germinate into healthy seedlings, contact the people who sold them to you. Most reputable seed companies have a germination guarantee, which means they will replace seeds that don't sprout. Most good seed sources have a germination guarantee. Second, try a different germination method. Don't keep doing the same thing over and over if it's not working. In this case, the grower mentioned soaking seeds, which typically means they either put seeds in a glass of water or used the "wet paper towel method". These are both excellent germination methods, but some growers
struggle with them. Solution: Plant Seed Directly in Soil If you've struggled with multi-step germination methods, try one of the simplest. This works for most growers if you just follow the instructions exactly as stated. - Plant the seed directly in the soil or coco about a knuckle deep. See the picture below.
- Cover seed loosely with soil. The seed shouldn't get direct light until it
sprouts. Add no more soil than necessary to accomplish that.
- Give water, warmth, and light - Give 2 cups (500 mL) of water so the soil around the seed stays moist even with the light on. Keep your grow light turned on for warmth, but not too close.
- Don't touch - Once a seed is in soil, don't mess with it. If it starts to dry out from the grow light, very gently dribble a few more spoonfuls of water, but otherwise leave the seed undisturbed to do
its thing.
- Sprouts appear 1-3 days later on average, though certain strains and older seeds might take up to a week.
2.) Why do some seedlings grow slow at first?Seedlings can feel so mysterious, but they're actually simple things with simple needs. Give them a good environment plus a little bit of water, and they're happy. Example Question "I use organic living soil (mild not
hot) and organic bottled nutrients. I always see really slow growth during weeks 1 through 4 🤔 What can I do for faster seedling growth." Slow growing seedlings in good soil are usually caused by one of these 3 things. - Too Much Water <-- Probably This - Watering too much or too often is the #1 cause of slow-growing cannabis seedlings. Underwatering makes similar symptoms, but is less common.
- Hot or
Cold - Temperature should be between 70-85°F (20-30°C) for happy seedlings. If the grow space gets too hot or too cool on a regular basis, plants tend to grow slower.
- Light Starvation - If a seedling grows tall and stringy without many leaves, it needs more light. Either increase the light intensity or number of hours of light per day.
Droopy, small seedlings like this one in the middle usually aren't getting the right amount of
water. Solution: Keep cannabis plants warm and breezy under a proven LED grow light the recommended distance away (or sunlight). Insider Tip: If the pot feels heavy, give less
water. For the first week after germination, give seedlings just 2 cups (500 mL) of water every few days. For the second week, give just 3 cups (750 mL) of water every few days. Raise the amount as they get bigger. With good watering and environment,
3-week-old cannabis seedlings should be about this size. 3.) Do autoflowers need special nutrients?Many of the questions we received involved autoflowers, including what nutrients to give them so they start fast and grow big. Example Question: Can you give autoflowers organic nutrients like you would do a photoperiod plant? I have
good soil, which has some nutrients, but I want maximum growth. I heard to give autoflowers very small amounts of nutrients during the first few weeks. Can you give autoflowers regular cannabis nutrients? Yes, when it comes to nutrients you can treat autoflowers essentially like photoperiod plants. - Vegetative Stage - Give "vegetative" or "all purpose" nutrients until buds start forming.
- Flowering
Stage - Once you see fluffy white buds, switch to "flowering" or "bloom" nutrients until harvest.
Learn more about cannabis nutrients. For example, these autoflowers got "regular" cannabis nutrients. See the grow journal.

I have been growing weed non-stop ever since I finished the Masterclass. It gave me the confidence I needed to grow great weed. Since I took the class my average yield has increased. In fact, I had my biggest harvest last December with 42oz from two manifolded
Purple Haze/Malawi sativa plants from Ace Seeds. Now my focus has changed from quantity to quality.
~golfnrl Golfnrl, there's more bud than plant! 42 oz may be the most weed I've ever seen anyone harvest with just two plants. An actual masterpiece. ~Nebula
