"The best fertilizer is the gardener’s shadow." ~Unknown Dreaming of growing organic weed in your cannabis garden? Want a “just add water” cannabis growing experience? Whether you’re thinking about growing weed for the first time, or you’ve already grown a few cannabis plants and want to try something new, today’s organic growing method keeps it natural with zero fuss. This tutorial was made for you if you want to grow top-shelf organic weed the easy
way. As more people are legally able to grow cannabis at home, organic grow methods are getting more popular. Consumers demand better choices. It used to be difficult for many people to get access to organic cannabis (black market weed was rarely grown organically). Now you can grow your own! With the right technique, it’s surprisingly easy to grow organic weed at home. In fact, growing
organically may actually be easier than other grow methods. Why grow organic weed using this grow tutorial? - Let Nature Do the Work – The method in this article creates a soil environment that does most of the work of growing for you, by delivering nutrients to the roots just like in nature.
- Top Bud Taste & Smell – Many growers believe that growing organic weed (properly) creates the best bud taste and most
complex bud smell of any grow method. There are also reports that organic weed tends to be smoother to smoke. In my tests, buds grown in Super Soil had lab results with higher overall levels of terpenes (smells) than clones grown in coco coir in otherwise identical conditions. Check out some of our other cool growing experiments.
- Safe, Healthy Weed– Organic growing lets you know what’s in your weed. When you’re buying weed from someone else, you have no idea what chemicals or pesticides may have been used during the grow process. Even if you’re growing for yourself, nutrient companies are not
legally bound to list all ingredients in their products. That means you may be unknowingly giving your plants unwanted ingredients if you use bottled nutrients or supplements. Even worse, some nutrient companies have been busted for including illegal compounds (such as synthetic PGRs) that are known to be
harmful to humans. Organic grow methods give you confidence that there aren’t potentially dangerous human-made compounds getting deposited into your weed.
- Easy Perfect Nutrients – Never worry about mixing bottles of nutrients to get the perfect nutrient ratio for your plant’s stage of life. If you follow the instructions in
this tutorial, your plants won’t get nutrient deficiencies and you won’t need to do anything to prevent them. In fact, this method lets your roots “pick and choose” which nutrients to uptake, so your plant gets exactly the right nutrients at the right time.
- “Just Add Water” Method is Easy – This tutorial
teaches you how to complete a “just add water” grow. Once you’re set up, you mainly just water your plants every few days for a few months until harvest. When it comes to plant care, this particular grow method is one of the least time-consuming.
"Big Smell" Genetics for Organic GrowingSince organic growing tends to bring out and magnify the smell of a cannabis plant, I recommend growing a strain that smells wonderful for your organic garden. If it's going to smell a lot, it should smell good! Genetics that Smell Like Candy Here are some of my personal favorite sweet-smelling
strains. Photoperiod - Pineapple Chunk - Sweet citrus fragrance emits from dense, potent buds. Whenever I grow Pineapple Chunk, it is the crowd favorite!
- Delicious Cotton Candy - This strain grows unique looking buds that take on a purple hue, excellent potency, and the smell is sugary sweet almost like cotton candy.
Example of a Pineapple Chunk bud Autoflowering - Gushers Auto - A candy-smelling autoflowering strain that's ready to harvest a little over two months from germination. Candy-smelling weed for the busy grower.
- Banana Purple Punch Auto - This autoflowering strain is ready to harvest as soon as 60 days from germination, but the real fruity candy smell and higher bud
potency happen if you let the plant go a bit longer to 65 or 70 days.
Example of a Banana Purple Punch Auto bud Bonus: Unique Smelling Strains These strains have smells that are not typically associated with most (modern) cannabis strains. - Caramelo - The buds smell almost like a sweet lavender tea, with
spicy, musky, and floral undertones. A mix of Korean, Afghani, Columbian, and Hawaiian genetics creates a unique Sativa-leaning strain. Excellent outdoor strain that thrives in a variety of climates.
- Maui Waui - A treat for the vintage smokers. This strain creates a sweet, incense type smell. According to my dad, the buds
from these seeds actually smell like weed he smoked at concerts in the 1970s. He loves weed that doesn't have "the 90s skunk smell that ruined the smell of weed." I thought that was interesting as weed has pretty much always smelled like skunk since I've been smoking!

I thought this was an awesome example of a grower sharing his version of how he does a Perpetual Harvest! This seems to be an excellent strategy to harvest photoperiod strains on essentially an autoflowering strain schedule (harvest every 70 days). Max, I also have
to add that your garden looks amazing! All those colors in one space, so neatly trained, it is just beautiful 🏆 ~Nebula

The Perpetual Harvest article was very good. You can also grow generation to generation by taking clones and still harvest every seventy days. This method allows you to start several seeds of a single strain, then select the
best one to keep growing going forward. You can grow multiple strains with the best plant from each. Buying seeds is a rare event when one phenotype can keep producing for years. Clones are taken shortly before the veg plants go into flower. Take two or three clones from each plant and pick the best of each strain to keep. Cloning reduces cost, improves quality and allows more variety. And you know exactly what you will get every
time. Stay elevated and keep on gardening! ~Max 1) The perpetual garden a few weeks before harvest. 2) Wedding Cake ready to trim. Recommended Cannabis Seed Sources
