How Do You Grow Marijuana
And
Tips For Growing Medical
Marijuana
“How do you grow marijuana” is becoming
a common question. Marijuana can be grown
indoors or outdoors and in many climates
around the world.
The plants enjoy a lot of outdoor sun or
artificial light indoors in order to grow
healthy.
Growing medical marijuana is becoming
increasingly common in states throughout
the United States and countries around the
world as laws allow for patients to use
marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Even Wikipedia’s Cannabis cultivation
page, “presents common techniques and
facts regarding the cultivation of the
flowering plant cannabis, primarily for the
production and consumption of marijuana
flowers.”
Before you start growing medical
marijuana you will want to check the
legislation and figure out what’s within the
law for your state, otherwise there are a
few basic things you should know about
growing cannabis when you first start.
Here are some tips to help you avoid some
first time mistakes growing medical
marijuana.
Marijuana Growing Equipment
To grow the best medical marijuana
product possible, you’ll need the right
supplies.
New growers frequently commit
themselves to unrealistic and expensive
first grows.
It is much more efficient to learn to grow
and purchase more equipment as you gain
more experience, rather than invest in
high-end equipment in the beginning.
Remember, the K-I-S-S Method: “Keep It
Simple Stupid”
Watering and Nutrition
Overfeeding nutrients is extremely
common for beginners growing medical
marijuana.
When all else fails, follow the directions
on the nutrition label. Watering is very
important for plants.
Overwatering kills marijuana plants.
A marijuana plant should not have a wet
soil, only a moist one. Before you water
your soil, measure how dry or wet it is.
To promote a healthy growth remember to
regularly water your marijuana plant once
the top few inches of the soil dries out.
Starting With Seeds Or Clones
As for people who are first timers in growing
medical marijuana, it is advisable for you to
start with seeds and not with clones.
If you start with marijuana clones, you will then
set yourself early on with the problem of bug
infestation.
NEVER grow seeds from a seeded marijuana
plant (hermaphrodite seeds) unless you are
prepared for possible disappointments.
This is the #1 reason why people buy marijuana
seeds from seed banks.
Whether you start from seeds or clones, it is
your decision to choose which method you
prefer to use and what resources you have
available to start growing medical marijuana.
Good Plant Environment
Marijuana grown outdoors should be planted in a
location that receives at least eight hours of sun each
day.
Areas that get early morning and afternoon sunlight are
the best. If you’re growing marijuana indoors, location
is very important in growing medical marijuana.
You will need to either find a place that gets a lot of
sunlight (ex. greenhouses) or invest in some growing
lights to ensure that your plants get the appropriate
amount of light.
Long time marijuana growers will advise that the
basement is the perfect place to grow your plant because
managing the temperature will be easier.
However, as long as you can control the humidity,
temperature, and ventilation of your location, you can
start growing medical marijuana on your own far from a
basement.
Grow In Soil Or Hydroponics
Marijuana can grow directly from a soil or
through a system called hydroponics.
Hydroponics is harder to overwater than soil, due
to the abundance of oxygen around the roots.
If you choose to grow in soil, it will be best to
prepare a pot with fertile soil.
Clean the pot then start peat moss filling the pot's
bottom area. Make sure to fill it to about an inch.
It will help in draining off the buildup of any
nutrients. You can now start filling the pot with
some fine soils.
Both are good methods but each has its own
advantages and disadvantages. Consider what will
best work for you and your location before
choosing a system for growing medical
marijuana.
Now,
You Should Know
How To Grow Marijuana
So, how do you grow marijuana? There are still many
things you have to consider before growing medical
marijuana.
Depending on what type of results you are looking
for, you can use elaborate lighting and watering
systems to grow marijuana, although it is not
necessary to grow marijuana.
As long as the plants get enough light, are planted in
good quality soil and watered regularly, they will
likely flourish.
Lastly, don’t ever tell anyone about growing medical
marijuana that does not need to know. How can you
expect anybody else to keep a secret that you cannot.
In order to thoroughly understand everything to make
your first time planting successful, you may want to
consider avoiding many of these first time mistakes.
