How to grow cannabis seeds

The technology of cannabis cultivation is fraught with pitfalls and secrets to help get around them. Not a single textbook has been written on the art of hemp growing, in which the whole theory is described from, to z. But progress does not stand still, which is why the features of the hemp business change regularly. All the subtleties of the lesson cannot be conveyed in one story, so we will talk about the basics of growing grass for beginners. First of all, it is preferable to stock up on feminized seeds that are thrown into the water for a day. "Femki" give life to female plants, which is what we need. We put the sunken seeds in damp cotton wool and put them in an airtight container in a warm place. After a couple of days, the seeds should show the root, and will be ready for the next stage.

Growing cannabis seeds at home

The most popular way is cultivation at home, in pots filled with soil. To do this, you need to equip a growbox. It is not recommended to grow marijuana on a window or windowsill. Cannabis is unlikely to be happy with such conditions and will give a deplorable result on the harvest.

Having germinated the seed, we throw it into the soil to a depth of 0.3 - 0.7 cm and moisten the soil. A few days later, a sprout should appear, which for the first time is placed under a transparent glass with holes. So the shoot will be protected from drought and light burn. As the young hemp gets stronger, we remove the glass, after which the vegetation begins. At this stage, the plant is actively gaining green mass.

Growing marijuana seeds outdoors

An alternative to indoor cultivation is outdoor or outdoor cultivation. In this case, you can do without a grow box, planting a germinated seed immediately on the street. You can also wait until the plant gets stronger, and then move it to the yard. Outdoors is cheaper than indoors, allows you to get a solid harvest, plus nature takes care of providing a comfortable environment. Do not forget about the cons: pests are waiting for hemp on the street, and in cold regions, the season of suitable weather is quickly ending. The method is more suitable for owners of country houses. Of the varieties, it is worth giving preference to autoflowers, due to their strong immunity and unpretentiousness.

How to grow autoflowering cannabis

The cultivation of autoflowers will fit perfectly into the framework of the first experience in raising a cheerful bush. Varieties with an automatic flowering period are easy to learn and also do not require close attention, unlike photoperiodic counterparts. Among the advantages of this variety it is worth noting: automatic transition to flowering, fast life cycle, unpretentiousness and strong immunity. The downsides are the smaller size and low THC levels. The last point is debatable, as the modern seed market has many varieties with a capacity of over 20% THC in flower resin.

How to grow photoperiod marijuana varieties

Wishing to get a round number on the scales when weighing the crop, growers prefer photoperiod bushes. "Fotiki" differ in the way of flowering, the highest concentration of THC, the large size, as well as the immunity, which is weaker than that of autoflowers. To start flowering fotik, he needs a transfer to a 12-hour daylight hours. Since the growing season in them can last an unlimited amount of time, the shape and size of the plant become subject to the grower. To get the best yield, training is performed - changing the shape of the crown. Various training techniques allow you to illuminate as much of the bush as possible, which further increases the power of the cones and their number.

How to grow a good marijuana crop

In the dreams and plans of every hemp grower is a quality harvest. Generous harvest can be achieved by providing the plant with the necessary nutrients, comfortable temperature and humidity, the right soil PH level, and avoiding diseases of the bush. An important detail is the volume of the growbox and planting capacity. With a small space, marijuana will be crowded, while too much space will make it difficult to control the desired parameters. Avoiding stress will speed up the growth rate and increase the final number of buds. This is especially true for autoflowering strains. With a limited time in the genes, cannabis may not have time to move away from stress, which will negatively affect the quality and quantity of bos.

How to increase the potency of buds

The level of the psychoactive component of THC, which is responsible for the strength of the bump, directly depends on the growing conditions. If the plant is doing well, the grower will get a strong product. An important factor is the time of harvest. The highest concentration of THC, the plant has during the yellowing of the trichomes. By skipping the amber trichomes, they turn brown-red, indicating a decrease in THC. Additional methods include fertilizing with specialized additives that are added both to the soil and to hydroponics. Experienced gardeners before harvesting deprive the plant of light for 1 to 3 days. The response of the plant to the resulting stress will be the production of THC.

Beginner mistakes

The first grow rarely goes without errors. In order to avoid negative experiences, it is worth knowing what most beginner cannabis growers face. Common mistakes newbies make are overwatering, overfeeding, and incorrect PH levels. There may be other problems, but smart newbies tend to have difficulty in these areas. When overflowing, it is necessary to suspend watering until the cannabis returns to normal. Nutritional problems and PH are closely related to each other. It is important to remember here that it is better to “under” than “over”. The rule also applies to watering, since the consequences of flooding the soil will be worse than the consequences of underwatering.
