Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...

- Now that you know how to water plants flawlessly with barely any effort, discover how to create the perfect environment. Here's a growing secret: As long as you start with good genetics, give the right environment, and water properly, you will produce exceptional weed every time. Even if you don't do anything
else!
- This week we're getting weird. We're bringing you cannabis mutations, animals on weed, and big ol' babushka buds. This installation of "Trophy Pics of the Week" is fresh, tasty, and pairs well with coffee and cannabis on a crisp Sunday morning! Make sure you don't miss it!

Easy Ways to Water Plants
& Remove Runoff 💦🌳💧
|
|
Watering cannabis plants can be a pain… but only if you don’t know what to do.
Watering a plant may seem simple, but when I first started growing cannabis it actually felt like one of the hardest parts. Seedlings would droop, plants got inexplicable nutrient deficiencies, and I was breaking my back carrying big jugs of water then removing runoff.
Today you’ll learn how to water cannabis plants perfectly with barely any effort
Over the years I figured out how to water plants perfectly with barely any effort. I also learned an important secret: as long as you start with good genetics and create a nice environment, you can skip almost every part of growing besides proper watering and
still produce a great harvest with exceptional bud quality. However, your watering system is key to fantastic results.
Today I’ll teach you several cannabis watering tactics that maximize growth, increase yields, and improve bud quality while reducing time and effort. Stop worrying about watering so you can pay more attention to your marijuana plants and have more fun.
1.) Set Up So Watering is Easier
Take a few minutes to think about your watering setup. A little forethought and planning can save you a ton of time and effort later.
Make a spot to mix water and nutrients
Set up a table or specific spot to mix up nutrients, check pH, and otherwise prepare water before giving it to your plants. You want a convenient place to hold your water container, bottles, measuring spoons, etc. Being able to reach everything saves time and effort compared to haphazardly mixing nutrients, especially compared
to mixing nutrients on the floor (which is weirdly what I did for years).
Set up a table or other convenient spot to store and mix nutrients
Rich airy potting mix
Start with a good soil or coco mix. This not only helps cannabis grow faster but also helps prevent problems like overwatering or underwatering. Most importantly, never use dirt you find outside to grow your plants. Choose potting mixes that appear rich, dark,
and fluffy. If your main goal is to water as infrequently as possible, choose soil over coco coir (on average, coco needs to be watered more often than soil).
Choose a rich-yet-fluffy potting mix so plants are harder to over or under water
Choose the right nutrients
Mixing up nutrients can take up a lot of time if you're using multiple bottles or supplements at the same time. If time is of the essence, choose a "just add water" soil (to avoid nutrients altogether) or get an all-in-one nutrient system that gives everything to your plants in one bottle. I've had excellent results using Dyna-Gro Grow and Bloom. It can be used in soil, coco, or hydroponic setups. Cheap and easy yet great yields and the resulting buds are top tier.
Directions for Dyna-Gro
- Use "Grow" bottle in the vegetative stage
- Use "Bloom" bottle in the flowering stage
Here's a custom Dyna-Gro nutrient schedule that can be used in soil, coco, or hydro....
5 Factors to Creating a Perfect Growing Environment
|
Learn how to create an environment that's better than nature! Here's a list of what you should be watching out for (from most important to least important):
- Light – Bright but not too bright
- Temperature – Comfortable for you, comfortable for your plants
- Air Circulation – Fresh air plus a gentle breeze
- Reflection – Cover your walls with a reflective material
- Humidity – Controlling humidity helps plants grow faster and can increase resin production
|
You need a great environment to produce the best harvest. A poor growing environment lowers both yields and bud quality. On the other hand, a great environment gives you a major edge over other growers. Learn

"Hi Nebula and Sirius. I'm Justice, a developing South African grower thanks to you 2. I don't smoke low class cannabis any more, I've experienced each and every obstacle you've mentioned in all ur articles and I've grown from them...in Africa land is almost free that's if ur a citizen here and I mean hectacres. So I'm advancing from just being a home grower to a commercial one with all I've learned from your site."
~Justice
I love the idea of hundreds of acres of land covered in weed, growing in the South African sun. I'm glad we could help make that happen! ~Sirius
"I would stay away from calling Spinosad non-toxic. Only because you don’t want people or animals drinking it. Low toxicity would probably a better statement for this product.
Btw, it also is an effective treatment for head lice and fleas. Great stuff for a self-sustainable stash grower.
Thanks for all the great information you have shared with us. Glad to have an opportunity to do the same. We are a tight knit community and should all celebrate our unity!! Smoke em if you got em. 😤"
~Will
Our article on spinosad received a huge response as many people (especially commercial growers) have been impacted by legislation surrounding the pesticide.
Calling spinosad "low-toxicity" is a more accurate description; we'll definitely make that change. Thanks for writing in. ~Sirius
[Will's response]
"No prob. You guys (GWE) have had my back for many many years now. Reading your site and resolving my growing issues. I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to give something back to the community that has given me so much.
Happy to be of assistance. Take care!!"

Your "first" Bruce Banner grow? Sounds like someone's gonna do it again! ~Sirius
"One of eight colas from a manifolded Jock Horror grown indoors in coco coir and defoliate twice during flowering period...my go-to method of growing. My 4x4 tent often yields over a pound of
finished bud using this method. Thanks for the great guidance!!"
~Tom W.
That's literally a handful of weed...what great times we live in! ~Sirius
"Here's a pic of my super silver haze (nirvana seeds) showing a polyploid mutation! thought you might like to see. :) Also thanks for everything you do on this site, it has been so
helpful."
~Paul D.
The first time I saw this mutation, for just a second, I thought there was an insect latched on to the top of my plant. I was definitely about to panic! Now when I see this I'm delighted. ~Sirius
