10 Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Started Growing by Nebula Haze |
This list covers some of the things I wish I’d known when I first started growing cannabis
indoors. It’s possible that some of the items might not apply to you, but I’m sure every indoor grower ends up learning at least some of these lessons. |
1.) The best way to learn how to grow is to just start growing One of my biggest regrets about growing is that I didn’t start sooner.
It’s easy to get lost with endless research about growing cannabis. Which method is the best? Which grow light for your space? Which method gets the most yields?
The truth is, the best way to learn about growing cannabis is to just jump right in.
Sometimes people (who want to grow) get stuck in the research phase of growing. They spend so much time
researching that they get paralyzed by choice and never actually start growing, for months or even years.
No research can 100% prepare you for the actual process of growing. Even experienced growers get unexpected problems. Each grow will teach you more so that you get better and better results, so you might as well start now.
2.) Don’t stop taking notes or pictures just because you have problems (and we all do!) Okay we’ve all been there. Maybe you’ve been writing notes and taking pictures of your cannabis grow. But then something happens. Something bad. Maybe a deficiency, root rot, bugs…
Every grower will run into a growing problem some time or another. It can be tempting to stop documenting your grow because your plants don’t look as good as they used to.
Don’t stop! The most important time to document is when you’re having problems.
It has helped me so much to be able to go back and refer to old pictures and notes. It’s impossible to keep
everything in your head, especially after several grows, and you will thank yourself later that you kept track of problems instead of tried to pretend they didn’t happen.
Many growers don’t document their grows in any way, and that’s completely fine. But I believe many growers would benefit from a small notebook or calendar to write simple notes. Grow notes help you later, especially grow notes about plant problems. Speaking of calendars… 3.) Be aware of timelines A cannabis grow usually takes around 3-5 months from seed to harvest. After that, you need to account for 3+ weeks to dry and cure buds if you want to enjoy your buds at “full strength” (some growers cure their buds for even longer).
It’s common to see growers start a grow without thinking about how long it will take to harvest. They’ll end up with an upcoming vacation or some other event that takes them away from their garden.
It’s important when starting a new grow to consider
whether you’ll be able to be there for your whole plant’s life.
If you don’t have at least 3 months to care for your plants, don’t start growing just yet.
4.) Know Your Grow Lights! Indoor growers have to replace the sun. Your three main options for cannabis
grow lights are…
What Can Be Grown with a 315 LEC Grow Light? |
|
|
I recently finished my first grow with a 315 LEC grow light and I harvested a shocking 497 g (17.5 oz or 1.1 lbs) from 8 plants in a 2'x4'x5' grow tent. This light only uses 315 watts!
Since I was growing with auto-flowering strains, the entire grow took less than 3 months from seed to harvest. Seeds sprouted July 1, 2018 and the last plant was harvested on September 22, 2018. The buds from the first harvested plant have been curing for nearly two weeks and are just about ready to smoke now. I've never grown so
much weed so fast. I will be releasing the full grow journal soon, with pictures and instructions on how to follow along so you can copy these results for yourself :)

Trophy Picture of the Week! |
"Strange formation of buds on leaf stem, a little different to centre of leaf more commonly seen. I will update you when I have a mature specimen to be viewed."
~Grant
I've never seen a bud growing directly on a stem before. That's a neat new mutation. I'd love to see how it develops, and thanks for sharing! ~Nebula Haze

"Growing cannabis can be 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, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
