How Many Cannabis Plants Should I Grow? 🌳🌳🤷♀️🌳🌳 |
|
|
Should you grow just one cannabis plant or many to maximize your yields? What’s the best number of plants to grow considering your grow light and the size of your grow space? What’s the best number of plants to grow? There are a few different schools of thought when it comes to the best number of marijuana plants to grow in an indoor setup. I’ll walk you through the benefits of growing just one plant vs the benefits of growing many, and then give you some real-life examples with specific setups. That way you get the information you need to make the best decision for your garden. One or Many Cannabis Plants: Costs vs Benefits Growing Just 1-2 Cannabis Plants at a Time Pros - Easier - Fewer plants make it easy to pay attention to each individual plant and it's often easier to reach all the plants.
- Much Simpler - You won't need to compromise as much between plants with different
needs.
- Less Time Daily - Spend less time on a daily basis caring for plants (making nutrient water, watering, training plants, etc).
- May Be Only Legal Choice - Many growers live in an area with a limit on the number of plants they can grow (for example in Canada you are only allowed to grow 4 plants at a time, and each legal US state has different growing rules). These growers don't have a lot of choices when it comes to how many plants to
grow.
Cons - Less Variety - You'll only be able to grow one or two strains, instead of many strains at once.
- Fewer (or Smaller) Harvests - Yield is based on how well you fill the grow space with plants before they start flowering. With just one or two plants, it takes extra time for each plant to fully spread out in the vegetative stage so you achieve the best yields. This results in
fewer harvests a year. Alternatively, if the grow space has empty spots during the flowering stage you'll end up with smaller yields.
Should you grow just one or two plants at a time? Here's an example of growing just one plant. It took 8 weeks in the vegetative stage to train the plant to grow this way. Yet it was a joy to focus on just one plant and get to form a relationship with it. In the flowering stage, the plant rewarded the effort with buds that filled the space where the plant was trained. Growing Many Cannabis Plants at a Time Pros - Faster Harvests – Especially in a large grow space, several plants can fill the space faster during the vegetative stage than just one or two plants. This allows the grower to switch to the flowering stage sooner.
- Max Yield for the
Time and Electricity – A shorter grow period results in extra harvests. If you are looking to get the biggest yield in the shortest amount of time (maximizing your yield for electricity), this is an effective strategy.
- More Strain Variety – With a higher number of plants, you’ll have the ability to grow a greater variety of strains at the same time.

What causes seeds in buds while growing cannabis? |
|
|
There’s a seed in my bud! What does it mean to find seeds in your marijuana buds? Is it something to be worried about? Seeds are the end of the world but most growers don’t want them. Seed growth is triggered while buds are forming in the flowering stage, but can be easily prevented with the right steps. What causes seeds in buds while growing cannabis? |

"First time growing in coco coir-----just found out on your site that a 10-pound brick of the stuff will fill 4-5 gallon fabric bags before the perlite is added and after it's rehydrated. I could not believe how much a little brick can swell into a pile big enough to fill an 18 gallon plastic tote! Amazing stuff! Many thanks for all your
tips!!" ~Uncle Skippy Hey Uncle Skippy, I love coco coir as a grow medium for cannabis. Plants grow so fast! I was also shocked the first time I added water to one of those bricks. Here are pictures of adding water to a big brick for other growers in the newsletter who haven't seen the incredible expansion before. ~Nebula |

"Barneys Farm - Peyote Critical at 8 1/2 weeks in Black Gold Organic soil amended with Dr Earth organics and fed 3x Roots Terp Tea Bloom teas.
Sub Irrigated with a wick platform in a reservoir." ~Hash Hound Hey
Hash Hound, Your buds look excellent. Sparkly and beautiful. I've actually grown Peyote Critical in organic soil before, and the potency/effects were superb. Those buds were the crowd favorite from that grow. I know you're going to be happy after harvest. Thanks for writing in! ~Nebula |
[No message included]
~Kalikid Hey Kalikid, Thanks for writing in. Those seedlings look remarkably healthy, but weed plants like
to grow in a pot alone. If you can separate those into multiple pots, I would. Or possibly consider keeping the biggest one and culling the rest. Having even one of them by itself and alive would be a win! ~Nebula "Zkittlez photo period from seed found in dispensary weed. Five gallon Dutch bucket setup with home made dirt. Eight 9 watt LED spot lights. This plant is just loaded with 9, 11, and 13 finger fans. You really have to look closely to find a 7 finger leaf. ...This particular leaf had 17 fingers. I'm trying to find
out if this is some sort of record, but so far I can't find any with more than 13 fingers. ...I 've heard a claim of 17, but there was no photo, so hard to say if it's true." ~Michael Hey Michael, Thanks for writing in. That is an incredible
plant, especially considering it was grown under just 72w of light in total. It reminds me a bit of my first plant, only I used CFLs because we didn't have the superior LED technology back then. I took a
look at your leaf and counted all 17 fingers. That is definitely a record to me. The most I've seen on one of my plants was 13, and we've never received a reader pic with more than that until today. I give you the unofficial record! ~Nebula With 17 different "fingers" I think this may be a record for the most number of fingers on a cannabis leaf. At least, it's the most I've seen so far! What about you? Reply to this email and let me know! ~Nebula

Often you can smell something is off even when a scammer is being convincing
|
What's that smell? Scammers are smelling up the place all over the internet. These stinky loafs lie to you, take your money, and send nothing back in return. If you receive a DM from an unfamiliar account on social media, even if it looks like it belongs to a company you know, use your scam smell detector and do some extra research before sending
money. 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.).
