Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- Imagine ordering seeds, paying a bunch of money, and waiting for days to receive them. You go through the process to germinate them and...nothing! Don't let germination be a guessing game that eats up your money and time at random. With a proven strategy, germination becomes a breeze!
- Learn about different types of hash and concentrates you can turn weed (or leaves) into!
- The Spider Farmer vs Mars Hydro tents still look amazingly identical. However, buds are forming and plants are stretching. Check out the latest grow journal update!
- This week's trophy pics are all from beginners. If you're new to growing cannabis and want to show off your newfound skills, don't be shy; send in those pics! We love showing off the awesome bud pics our readers send us, but we also want to showcase the progress of newer growers like today!

We have a seedling germination page that includes everything you need to know about all the different cannabis germination methods, but this tutorial is different. In this tutorial, I’m going to share exactly how I do my seeds
from beginning to end. Just follow these instructions and you’ll end up with healthy, fast-growing plants that germinate in just a few days. It’s basically fail-proof.
Turn your cannabis seeds…
This step-by-step tutorial will teach you how to germinate seeds and provide basic seedling care
Soon you’ll have healthy cannabis plants to admire

(from left) Rosin, dry-ice hash, bubble hash, kief
Rosin
- Made with high-heat and intense pressure.
- Makes a strong, sticky substance that you can dab or put on flowers
- Learn how to make Rosin
Bubble Hash
- Combine weed, ice-cold water, and agitate to make Bubble Hash
- After drying, you’ll have a crumbly pile of tiny, super-potent pebbles and dust
- Learn how to make Bubble Hash
Kief
- This stuff just falls right off of dry cannabis if it’s moved around enough
- Makes a golden-green powder that can be sprinkled on flowers
- Typically collected in the kief trap of a grinder, or by pushing weed around on a screen (kief falls through the screen while the weed stays on top)
Dry-Ice Hash
- Like Bubble Hash, but uses dry-ice instead of ice water
- Dry-Ice Hash is essentially Kief, but using dry-ice makes the process more efficient resulting in the best yields of this list
- Learn How to make Dry-Ice Hash

Finally seeing buds this week. Or more like "budlets" right now.
The Pacific Punch already stinks. In both tents the buds smell like a skunk that went bathing in white grape juice
I defoliated the plants today to thin out the leaves as some were laying on top of each other creating wet spots. I also removed leaves that were covering bud sites. Learn more about my defoliation method for these plants.

Mars Hydro tent before & after defoliation
I filled a 5-gallon bucket with leaves but the plants were so bushy it barely looks like I took anything. I plan to do a more robust defoliation and lollipop around week 4 of flowering. The idea
is to take away parts of the plant that will never amount to anything in order to force the plant to put all energy into fattening main buds (as opposed wasting energy all over the plant). Until then, I’ll only remove leaves that are covering bud sites or creating wet spots. I do this because wet spots can attract white powdery mildew and bud sites tend to fatten more when they get access to direct
light.
From the pictures above it may not look like I defoliated much, but I filled a 5-gallon bucket with leaves
So far these tents look almost identical. I know the plants are clones of each other, but they look more similar at this point in the grow than any other side-by-side I've done so far.
Next week I anticipate the buds will be well-defined enough to start seeing differences between the tents. This is my favorite part of these side-by-side experiments: seeing how buds form under different conditions. Can't wait!
Love,
Nebula

"Just about any time y'all come out and say some product is legit, I go buy it.
Yaw got that Oprah Winfrey power to utter some shit into popularity.
Would have never guessed my measuring tools could be inaccurate. Good find."
~Rob
I think being compared to Oprah is the biggest compliment we've received so far. 🏆 ~Sirius

"I have been using your news articles for 4 years now. And, I have saved many grows because of your excellent editorials. I offer you many, many thank you's."
~Smoken Butch
Many, many you're welcomes. We're glad to help save plants. 💪 ~Sirius
"So... Let me begin by telling you how amazing you are! I'm sure you've heard it all, ad nauseum but your site is incredible!
Up until a year ago I hadn't grown for myself since my teen years in Kenya! First of all, your information and the way you present it is outstanding. You would have a well deserved place in any lab I've ever worked in. As much as I've researched and done my due diligence, your site still keeps popping up as my go-to."
~Matt
Growing weed in Kenya is already an awesome story. I'll be waiting for the rest of your screenplay. 👍 ~Sirius

"Look forward to seeing your insightful newsletter every Sunday. This is an Auto White Widow in a 3 gal pot w/coco & perlite, GH trio & CalMag. Tried LST for the 1st time after reading your advice one Sunday. Thanks
for everything, you 2 are amazing!!!"
~Grandpateddy
Just look at that pristine cluster of colas. Well done! ~Sirius
"I just want to know if I’m doing everything right? Do they look like we’re going in the right direction or not? Thank you."
~Tara
Let's take a look, shall we?
This is the sickest, most terrible plant I have ev-....I'm kidding. Your little seedling looks good. Make sure to get that other seedling out of the pot, though. They aren't great at sharing
space. ~Sirius
"So I got this bright idea to start a couple of seeds to grow at my cabin up north. 4 little cups, no problem. Now it’s 3 weeks to go before planting outdoors. I just topped them so they won’t grow into the lights. I should have thought through.
Thanks for showing me the way.

Ah, the old "My plants got way too big" problem. The fastest way to halt their growth is to tell them they have to start paying for utilities. ~Sirius

Check out some articles you may not have seen...
- GWE’s Best Cannabis Banks: Where To Buy Marijuana Seeds Online - An article on germination isn't immediately helpful if you don't have seeds. We use Seedsman mostly, which is where I got a strain I'm growing soon called Purple Ghost
Candy. How can I not grow something with a name like that? I'll let you all know how it turns out!
- How to Make Feminized Seeds at Home - Who cares about 100% seed germination rates when you can produce as many seeds as you want? Making feminized seeds enables you to keep genetics for longer while also ensuring you don't waste time raising male plants. If you're down for the work, it's a win-win.
- Which Strain Breeders Can I Trust? - Personally, I feel that it's important for people who regularly grow cannabis to have a go-to breeder. It can be painful to spend months growing a new strain that doesn't pan out. If that happens, growing a strain that you know produces high-quality weed reliably can be a big confidence boost.
- Top-Fed DWC Cannabis Setup Guide – Bubbleponics - This is the fiorst technique I posted to this website and it's still my favorite way to grow. You can even skip the top-feed part and still enjoy huge buds and the fastest vegetative growth you've ever seen!

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!"
