How to Save Electricity when Growing Weed |

Growing weed indoors uses electricity to run grow lights, fans, pumps, and sometimes an AC. What can a grower do to save electricity to reduce the electricity bill each month and keep growing costs as low as possible? Over the years, I’ve learned a few tips to save electricity without hurting your cannabis yields, bud quality, or growth rates. Today you’ll learn how to save
electricity in your indoor cannabis grow! 1.) Choose efficient cannabis grow lights (Most Important)
There are a few ways to look at efficiency. I think most growers should be thinking about, “How do I get the most premium weed out for the amount of electricity I put in?” And that means being smart about choosing the right grow light for your cannabis
plants. For example, LEDs typically use less power than other grow lights, but if you use an LED model that is not that great for growing cannabis, you can get poor yields and buds that lack potency. Using a bunch of electricity to power an unsuitable LED grow light is terrible for your electrical efficiency (even if the LED is technically “efficient”) because it results in less good weed for how many watts you put in. To help guide you, I put together
a list of the best cannabis grow lights I’ve used that get great yields-per-watt while producing high-quality potent buds. Most of the suggestions are... Keep Reading to Save Money on Your Electricity Bill!

"Well hats off to Nebula (with her lovely green hair) for this year's holiday buying guide. I grow for fun. For friends and family. I grow pure CBD for myself due to random testing at work. The others get the fun stuff. After looking at your list last year I decided to buy an Arizer portable vape for
myself. Nice to smoke in the house (especially in Michigan winter) without the nasty after smell. Thank you! This year I bought the book (I'm selfish - me, me, me...) 'What a Plant Knows'. Just read the first chapter. Nyce. Very Nyce! Thank you again! I look forward to the newsletter each week. Your writing skills are top notch. All your articles are informative, easy to understand and best of all error free. I write short stories for fun and one thing I
hate is errors. Thanks to both of you for all you do. Happy Holidays!!!" ~James Hey James, I'm so glad you're enjoying What a Plant Knows. It is a fun read and also hands-down one of the most helpful books I've ever read about
growing plants. Even though it's not specifically about cannabis, so much of what it talks about is relevant to cannabis growers. When you're done I hope you let us know what you think! ~Nebula |
"I just wanted to thank you for all your help and great advice! You may find this funny - I have not had a grow in my second bedroom for 3 years now - I got two Mason jars of keif from the last one which has lasted until now! The funny part is even though it has been three years my cat is still constantly going to
the door of the room and meowing like crazy! She wants in!!
I can't seem to stop her from doing this! She did used to like eating the lower, THC-free leaves, but would recoil from the smell of a bud. I have also caught her a few times with her head in my rum and coke glass, and she has now also developed a fondness for Pina Colada's!
I am afraid that I am going to have to take her to rehab soon! Anyways, wishing you guys a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!" ~John Hey John, my cat was the same way! She loved eating cannabis leaves but hated the buds. It's funny your cat is
still looking for her leaf fix all these years later. Thanks for writing in to share. This email made me smile :) ~Nebula "Love your weekly input. Just started my journey in 1972. Never successful until I started reading your publication. Still a green horn but getting better. Thanks for all you do
for my education. Looking forward to starting some Purple Haze and some Fat Bastard in January.
Happy Holidays to all!" ~Susan Hey Susan, that is wonderful news. I know how frustrating it can be to try growing without all
the information and I'm so glad the website was able to help. Can't wait to see pictures of your Purple Haze and Fat Bastard buds! ~Nebula Haze

"Can you tell me which is male or female please?" ~Green Lady Hey Green Lady, Unfortunately, I am not able to tell from these pictures whether these plants are male or female. Typically it's a lot harder to tell the plant sex while they're still in the vegetative stage. Their sex is "hidden" until they start growing pre-flowers after several weeks in the vegetative stage. They also reveal
whether they're male or female when they enter the flowering stage. These first two plants look like they're still too young to have started growing pre-flowers. |
With this plant, it's big enough that it may have started growing pre-flowers. Some strains start growing pre-flowers as soon as 3 weeks from
germination, while others take 6 weeks or more. In order to check for pre-flowers, you need to check really REALLY closely at the joints where the fan leaves hit the main stem. Cannabis plants make little growths that are the beginning of flowers, and the shape of the growths can tell you whether the plant is male or female. "Latest grow, which is close to harvest. I did one Blueberry Auto, one Gorilla Glue #4, and one Critical Purple. This grow was pretty smooth.." ~OneMarty Hey OneMarty, Your plants look marvelous! Just look at those buds. You've got a beautiful harvest coming in soon. Great work! ~Nebula Haze "My first tent grow. White Widow feminized, 2x4 tent, 5 gal bags. Followed the Just Add
Water tutorial, Living Soil and coco coir. It was such an easy system, no worries about nutrients. Exceeded my wildest expectations! Trimming big fan leaves today and harvesting tomorrow. I’ve learned so much from this site as well as getting excellent advice from the forum. Thank you so much!" ~Sadpygmy Your plants are picture perfect! Thanks for taking the time to write in and share. Look at those trichomes 😍 ~Nebula

Don't let scammers sneak up on you!
|
Scammers often hide out in the open, like this enormous racoon. Often a scammer isn't very slick. They will sloppily copy the profile of someone you know, DM you with a "too good to be true" offer, and hope you don't notice something is off until it's too late. If you ever receive a questionable offer, ask questions and be skeptical. Make sure to watch out for scams, especially 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.).
