Your Growing Cannabis Information Kit Cannabis legalization is spreading like wildfire across the US and in many countries around the world. Many people are finally allowed to legally grow their own supply of cannabis! Are you ready to start growing? Growing cannabis can seem like it's complicated, but
often it seems that way because you haven't given the right information. A lot of people unintentionally make growing harder than it needs to be. This cannabis growing guide will help you discover the best way to grow cannabis, for your unique situation. Find a grow style for... - Your grow space
- Your budget
- Your desired yields
Growing cannabis plants is actually pretty straightforward, and almost anyone with a few extra minutes a
day and a spare closet or a garden in the back yard can grow their own professional-quality buds at home. About My History With Growing As a California medical marijuana patient and regular toker, I started growing cannabis in my closet in 2004 under a few CFLs for about $300. Now I grow with a much
bigger setup, but I very successfully grew cannabis on a tiny shoestring budget for years before I could invest in better growing equipment. I've learned that as long as I put the time into growing, I save a bundle of money compared to trying to buy, and I always have a constant safe supply of potent medical cannabis. In 2010, I helped put together
GrowWeedEasy.com with another grower named Sirius Fourside to teach other people how to grow their own buds, too.

One of my first gardens - it cost about $300 to get started What does a cannabis plant need to thrive? In order to thrive and grow, every cannabis plant needs: - Light - whether you're using sunlight or grow lights, you must understand the
light needs of a cannabis plant to get the best bud quality & yields
- Growing Medium - the stuff your plants grow in; soil isn't your only choice
- Air - a well-ventilated space with good air exchange and a slight breeze is best
- Temperature - Of course it's not always possible to control the temps perfectly. A good rule of thumb for cannabis plants is if it feels way too hot for you, it's probably too hot for your
plants. And just like humans, cannabis plants can die if exposed to freezing temps.
- Nutrients - you can buy pre-formulated nutrients that you just add to your water, or you can compost your own super soil so that it already includes all the nutrients you need
- Water - like all plants, cannabis needs water to survive, learn exactly what you need to know below
When growing cannabis indoors or outdoors, you will need to ensure
that it gets the proper amount of all 6 of these resources. How long does it take to grow cannabis? If you planted a cannabis seed today, when is the soonest you could be actually smoking your harvest? Probably about 8.5 weeks.
Indoor grows tend to be shorter than outdoor grows since you have more control over when the plant starts budding. Auto-flowering grows also tend to be very short. But with shorter grows, you also tend to get smaller yields. Certain strains, and certain outdoor grows can take up to 7 months or more. On average, I'd say it takes a grower about 4 months to grow,
harvest and prepare their own buds. Learn more about how long it takes to grow cannabis Don't Make the 2 Most Common Growing Mistakes! -
One of the most common mistakes by new growers is conducting spur-of-the-moment experiments that hurt or possibly even kill their plants.
Always take a second to google your idea before you try it. Luckily when it comes to growing, chances are someone has tried it already! -
The next most common problem new growers have is the tendency to skip crucial steps like understanding about light schedules, or why root pH levels are important for reducing nutrient deficiencies. While you can get lucky and succeed at growing weed without taking these steps, you are a lot more likely to end up with plants that
are sickly or die. Make sure you follow all the steps listed in this guide - you deserve to harvest your own top-quality buds!

Sirius Fourside:Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium(deep water culture, bubbleponics). "Growing cannabis is a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, perlite, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"

Are you interested in... LED Grow Lights? If you read through the 10-step guide above, you'll see that I don't believe most LED grow lights are suitable for first-time growers. Unfortunately, unless you know someone who has experience growing
with a particular model of LED light, you'll often spend a grow or two trying to get your light model "dialed in" so you know how far away to keep the lights from your plants for best results. But when you do know someone who has experience growing cannabis with a particular brand of LED grow lights, you know that the lights will work for growing cannabis. And if you have access to their grow notes, you'll also know exactly how to use the LED to get the best
results. And you've probably heard the incredible benefits of LEDs... low electricity usage, low heat, no ballast... you just plug the LED panel directly in the wall. Fans are built right in, and so many high-quality models don't need any additional cooling. But which LED companies can you trust? Some LED grow lights work pretty good but... the Pro-Grow panels work better than any LED grow lights I've seen... If you've
somehow missed this, and if you're interested in growing cannabis with LEDs, you need to check out this grow journal today! They offer many different models to suit your needs & budget... Which Pro-Grow LED model is right for my grow space? Matching the right lamp(s) for the space is crucial. A rough
ballpark... 3'x2' Grow Space 3'x3' Grow Space 4'x3'+ Grow Space As far as I know, the Pro Gro X5 series contains the
first 5W chipset LED grow lights from a tried-and-tested company that uses X-lens technology for deeper penetration, and actually tests their LED lights on real cannabis plants. If you want to see more... Our good friend Endive over at GrowMedical420.com posts tons of Youtube videos revealing his incredible results growing cannabis with the various
Pro-Grow LED models... There's no better proof than seeing the results with your own eyes. - Strains:
- Grow medium: Soil in smartpots
- Grow Light: Pro-Grow X5-300 LED panel
- 250W power consumption in Full Spectrum mode
- Vegetative Nutrients & Additives:
- Hydro-Organics Earth Juice Nutrients - Grow, Bloom, Micro
- Hygrozyme
- Earth Juice Catalyst
- Flowering Nutrients & Additives:
- Hydro-Organics Earth Juice Nutrients - Grow,
Bloom
- Meta-K
- MicroBlast
- Earth Juice Catalyst
Endive ran this as a "just the basics grow", with no extra nutrients or
supplements, no thinning or defoliation, and with only minimal lollipopping (removal or lower growth that is obviously not getting enough light). He did nothing more than basic LST (low stress training) and bending in mid/late veg. This was what I'd consider to be an "average" grow in the hands of just about anyone. He had a few issues here & there but nothing detrimental. Space was the main item, as the plants grew exceptionally well under the Pro-Grow X5, with 3 plants it was
a bit too much of a jungle. This light would be better suited to growing just 1-2 plants. You don't normally see yields like this with a 250W LED grow light; his results are much bigger than what you'd normally expect to get from a 250W MH/HPS combo! Total Estimated Time - Seed to Harvest:
145 days (4 months, 23 days) Final Yield
9.3 oz See for yourself!
