Intro: So You Want to Grow Weed?

Despite what you may have heard, growing cannabis is actually pretty easy once you have the right information. Most people with the will to grow, a few extra minutes each day and a space to grow have what it takes to grow their own cannabis .

Cannabis goes by many names; "weed," "pot," "marijuana," "ganja" and more. Cannabis, a plant related to hemp and grows flowers in the fall. The flowers of the female cannabis plant are what most people think of when it comes to the word "cannabis." The flowers of this plant are dried and cured to become the buds that can be used to vaporize, smoke, eat (via edibles) for recreational or medical purposes.

Maybe you're like me a few years ago. You like cannabis, or need it for medical reasons, and you're tired of paying for it. Or perhaps, like me, you couldn't even find any cannabis to buy most of the time.

For people like us, growing cannabis can be a relaxing pastime that can save you a lot of money, time and frustration.

Why I started growing cannabis

  • save money & time - compared to buying cannabis, growing is much easier for me
  • health reasons - I use medical marijuana for epilepsy
  • greater stealth - never have to pick up cannabis from somewhere else
  • personal safety - no need to deal with drug dealers to get cannabis
  • consistent supply - never run out
  • higher quality cannabis & choice of strains - produce exactly what you want

Before you start growing, it's important that you understand your local laws. If you live in the USA, this website may help.

Cannabis is a weed in the wild that adapts to many climates. Cannabis plants can actually be really easy to grow if you have the right information and know what to do. It can seem impossible to get started if it's your first time growing, but this website will walk you through everything.

How Long Until You're Smoking Your Buds? 4+ months

After you start growing, it usually takes at least 3 months until harvest for most strains (some just a little less, some strains take longer). After that it takes up to 10 days to dry. Lastly, most growers want to cure their bud for 2+ weeks to achieve a smooth taste and best smell. 

In total, you're looking for at least a 4 month investment for a cannabis harvest...

Growing Cannabis Basics

Cannabis plants are weeds with simple needs. Your cannabis plants will grow as long as you give them the right amount of the following resources..

In order to thrive and grow, your weed needs...

  1. Light (brightness has a huge effect on yields)
  2. Air (fresh air with a slight breeze is best)
  3. a Grow Medium (place to grow, soil isn't your only choice)
  4. the right Temperature (room temperature or a little warmer is perfect during the day, cannot stand freezing at night) 
  5. Nutrients (start at half as much as what's recommended on the package)
  6. Water (maintain pH for best results, soil likes 6 - 7 pH & hydro likes 5.5 - 6.5 pH)

Whether growing marijuana plants indoors or outdoors, you will need to ensure that it gets the proper amount of these six resources. You will be rewarded with big colas!

Auto-Flowering Strains: Are They Right for You?
An example of a "Fast Bud" auto-flowering cannabis plant

Auto-flowering (or "Ruderalis") strains of cannabis are becoming more popular each day. These strains stay short and automatically start flowering on their own. Most auto-flowering strains are ready to harvest after only about 3 months from seed. 

Faster harvests, small stealthy plants, and no worry about light schedules... Are auto-flowering strains right for you?

In-Depth Differences - Auto-Flowering & Photoperiod Strains

How long until harvest?

Which yields more?

Which is more potent? What about smell and taste?

What's better for medical marijuana patients?

How big will each plant get?

So I heard autos need a special light schedule to start making buds...

What if I run into problems?

Which is better for growing outdoors?

Can I use plant training methods?

Can I clone plants (make unlimited new plants that are all the same as each other)?


Get your favorite strain as an auto! Auto-flowering strains have been improving over the last half decade, and now there are more strain options than ever. Modern auto strains produce potent buds that compete with their photoperiod cousins. 

Auto-flowering strains stay short and are ready to harvest in ~3 months!
