Crop Steering for Home Cannabis Growers: Optimizing Plant Growth and Yield |

Introduction to Crop Steering for Cannabis Growers
What is cannabis Crop Steering? “Crop steering” means manipulating your cannabis plant and environmental variables to increase plant growth, yield, and bud quality. Essentially, you take everything cannabis growers have learned about getting the best results from a cannabis garden, and use this knowledge to guide the plant’s
physiological processes.
Crop steering uses science and efficiency-based methods to achieve big yields of potent cannabis buds with less money, time, and effort. Crop steering can help indoor and outdoor cannabis growers, though indoor growers typically have a lot more control over their environment and can utilize it to the greatest effect. Two main types of cannabis crop steering - Control the Environment – First, learn how variables in the environment affect the way cannabis plants
grow, including light, temperature, humidity, and more. Then take this knowledge to encourage plants to grow the way you want (fast-growing with big potent buds).
- Specific Crop Steering Techniques – Directly manipulate the cannabis plant with pruning, training, environmental manipulation, watering techniques, and other specific tactics.
Today’s article will cover both types in detail so you gain complete control over your cannabis grow and the resulting
harvests. Click here to learn how to use simple and (mostly cheap or free!) crop steering techniques to magnify your grow results!

Example of a cannabis leaf injury from four-lined plant bug. What are these weird spots on my outdoor plant leaves? A common cannabis pest in the United States is the four-lined plant bug (officially Poecilocapsus lineatus). This bug leaves spotting injuries where it sucks out all the juices from inside the hemp or cannabis leaf. Each spot on your cannabis
leaves were essentially the meal of a four-lined-plant bug. Learn about this common cannabis pest! |

"Great website you have here. First time grower, I used your website and advice and had a great first grow. Start to finish found answers to all my questions and had very successful grow. From what equipment to use to tutorials on every part of grow to harvest and cure, your website had it all and helped me immensely. Great job thanks for all the knowledge and help. Keep it up." ~Michael That's our goal. If we can help get you from nothing to weed in your hands, we've succeeded! 🏆 ~Sirius |
"Five years ago Weed became legal in Canada. Every city had stores selling weed. There were stores about a block apart and big Growers starting to supply them. Now 60 % or more of the stores have closed and the farms that were supplying them are downsizing with weed they throw away. Thanks to you and the lessons people are growing indoors or in their yards and not buying from suppliers or
stores. We were buying seeds online or getting from friends. This last month there are growers now selling seeds for about five dollars. Wait!! I just found I can now buy clones. There are a limit of types of seeds and plants but they are great. They are selling for $10.00 or twenty each. Without your help and lessons we are so thank-full for your help even if we don't always respond to you two." ~Norm I love every part of this. Power to home growers! 💚💚💚 ~Sirius "I appreciate you folks and what you do. Thanks."

Thanks, Oliver. We appreciate you reading our stuff 🙏 ~Sirius

"The almost done one is a white O.G. and the 33 day in is a bubble gum." ~Shawn You've got a real weed forest growing there. This is the only kind of forest you should burn down...one bowl at a time. ~Sirius "First and foremost I want to thank you for all that I have learned through reading your tutorials. I find that your website is very informative and your way of explaining is easy to follow. Attached are pics from my first grow which was very successful thanks to your pointers along the way. However, my curiosity has grown and I am wondering if you know of a magic mushroom community or
growmushroomeasy website out there that is as user friendly as gwe. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks ✌️ " ~Thomas First, you're welcome! I'm glad we could help you in your growing journey. As far as mushrooms go, we don't really know of a site with a similar style of dispensing info. That being said, Nebula is an absolute beast of an expert
when it comes to growing shrooms. Seriously, she's an artist and I can personally attest to the quality of her work 🤣. If there's enough interest for it, we could make a short tutorial to get people going. Luckily, it takes a lot less info to learn how to grow shrooms and a lot less time to grow them (weeks from start to finish). ~Sirius
Politicians? Stealing? Nooooo... |

FYI: This is Lebanon in Maine, not the country near Syria. Small town politicians with sticky fingers Take a look at the two gentlemen in the picture above. They thought it would be smart to help themselves to a person's legal weed plants. Now, the guy who instigated the idea has lost his position after the town voted to remove him from office. How did a politician turn into a dirty, rotten weed
stealer? Unfortunately, that's the upsetting part. Weed is legal where this happened (in the town of Lebanon, Maine), but the newly elected official decided that he would steal this guys plants "...to make the town a little safer". Fortunately, the community didn't like the news when they heard about the theft and voted out the planner. If you ask me, getting kicked out isn't enough and he should've been arrested just like any other thief. Stay safe! 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.).

GrowWeedEasy.com has hundreds and hundreds of pages! Check out some articles you may not have seen... What is “Schwazzing” & How Does it Increase Cannabis Yields?
- Just like "Crop Steering", this is another cannabis training technique that's essentially a renaming of an existing technique. If you don't want to learn about schwazzing for free in the article above, the person who came up with the name sells an instructional book on the subject at the low, low price of only $300! What is High-Frequency
Fertigation? - This technique sounds like you're going to need a high-grade laser, a permit from the FBI and a degree in astrophysics before you can do it...but I think that's on purpose. In reality, "high frequency fertigation" means watering your plants often with nutrients. Yup, that's it. If you're disappointed with that answer, it's not you, the answer is indeed disappointing. Bigger Buds with Nebula’s Easy Manifold (Cannabis Main-Lining Tutorial) - If I'm going to bag on techniques for being pre-existing techniques, I have to mention manifolding since it's a clear spin on mainlining. However, in defense of the technique, I will say that manifolding and mainlining are actually notably different in execution. Also, it's nice to have a name that isn't/wasn't associated with heroin
use.
