Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- We've compiled a list of 10 tips and tricks to help you become a better and more efficient grower. You might know a few of these, but I'm betting this article has useful information for any grower, no matter the skill level. So have a short read and level up you grow skills!
- Bonus Tip: Check out a quick 36-second video by Nebula on how to make clones with zero effort!
- Have you ever wanted personalized grow training with direct access to Nebula and Sirius? We are opening registration for our popular 6-week online grow course with live classes this Thursday, July 2, 2020. First class is on Saturday, July 11. We only take a handful of students at a time, so click here to get notified when
registration opens!
- When I was younger, there was an ice cream man that would sell something called a "grab bag". For 50 cents, you would get a popscicle and small paper bag filled with an assortment of cheap candy. It was awesome. This week's trophy pics are like a grab bag, but the candy inside is WAY better!
- A grower sent in a picture and said he had "multitudes of bugs". I see bugs on cannabis literally every day of the week, but these pictures were still able to give me the chills! Warning: "Help" section contains pests being pests (e.g. repulsive, beligerent and numerous.)

10 Tips and Tricks for Growing Weed Indoors 😲👩🏫🤯

1.) Avoid Certain LED Grow Lights
The state of LED grow light technology is improving rapidly, maybe even faster than ever. As a result, some of the best LED companies from just a few years ago are getting left behind while new companies produce LED grow lights that are pretty much superior in every way when it comes to ease-of-use and results for growing cannabis.
I’m not saying the older LED technology is “bad”. When it comes to growing cannabis with LED grow lights, just about any LED model can get the job done. Even some of the lowest quality LED grow lights produce great bud. However, certain LED companies are designing their lights specifically for growing cannabis plants. These newer LED models tend to produce faster and healthier growth, better yields, denser buds, stronger smells, and even increased bud potency
in some tests.
One company that used to offer some of the best low-budget LED options was ViparSpectra. ViparSpectra LED grow lights are cheap and produce good growth, yields, and buds when used properly. ViparSpectra also updates their models regularly to include popular new features, higher quality components, and improved spectrum. Yet they aren’t testing their grow lights on cannabis plants. As a result, their technology is falling behind other companies
that are testing and developing the lights with actual cannabis growers.
ViparSpectra LEDS – 300W draw, 6.9 oz yield
For example, when I used 300W (true power draw) of ViparSpectra lights, I yielded 6.9 oz of great weed. However, when I grew with an HLG300 R-Spec LED
(which uses only 270W of electricity and runs significantly cooler), it produced 9.34 oz of weed that tested for higher levels of THC than clones grown in identical conditions under a 315 LEC. Not only that, but the HLG was also at a disadvantage compared to the ViparSpectras. During the HLG300 test I was growing low-yielding strains and it was in the winter so the temperature was often in
the low 70s °F (low 20s °C) while HLG lights perform best around 80°F (27°C).
As another example, I used an HLG 100 (95W power draw) in a mini tent with better (warmer) environmental conditions and produced 5.5 oz or over 1.5 g/watt. Although the ViparSpectra lights work well and I was happy with them, HLG LEDs just seem to perform objectively better for growing weed (better yields, lower heat, and higher THC in lab tests).
HLG 300 – 270W draw, 9.34 oz yield
Note: These plants grew in too-cold temperatures (HLG models performs best at around 80°F/27°C) and were low-yielding strains, yet still produced better yields and bud quality than the equivalent ViparSpectra LEDs which had much more ideal conditions
When it comes to LEDs, not all models are the same. You’ll often get much better results by investing in a good LED grow light. The extra money pays for itself with better yields and results. Learn more.
Bonus LED tip: Don’t use household LEDs as they typically have a coating that reduces the total amount of light that gets to your plants. If you want to use LED grow lights, I highly recommend getting a model that’s made to be a grow light. Even cheap LED grow lights seem to get better results than household LEDs for growing weed.
Avoid household LEDs for growing weed! Stick to actual LED grow lights for better yields per watt.
2.) Force Extra Bud Sites
When your plants are young, you have a lot of control over their final shape and size. You can use this ability to force your plant to grow many big bud sites instead of just one main bud. This tends to increase yields overall indoors.
Don’t let indoor plants grow naturally with just one main bud
Increase yields for the same size plant by forcing it to grow multiple big buds!
Here are the 3 most popular ways to force multiple buds...

"Hello! I'll start with thank you. I have been visiting your site for over a year and I have found all the necessary information, you are doing a great job. I am from Latvia and marijuana is still considered criminal here. But despite that, I grew up for two years and I have fallen in love with this process and this process has helped me through so many difficult moments in life. It's like creating a new life and doing everything you can
to make that's life as good as possible."

Your message above was inspiring and these plants are icing on the cake. I expect fantastic things out of you! ~Sirius
Help! What's wrong with my plant?!

A grower emailed us with the following text and images:
"There seems to be a multitude of insects; at least three different types. Tiny red bugs (not spider mites) are the most numerous."
The first picture is the easiest one. The red arrows all point to leafhoppers which are relatively easy to get rid of.

But what are the insects in the next two pictures?

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 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!"
