How Long Does It Take To Grow Weed

From Seed To Harvest It Takes About 3 Months To Grow Weed.

Marijuana Growth Stages

During The Fifth & Final Growth Stage Of Marijuana, Some Strains Benefit From 6 Months Or More Of Curing.

Growing Marijuana

13 Seedlings In Styrofoam Cups

When the set(s) of true leaves of the seedling have spread out to cover the circumference of the cup, it will be time to transplant to a larger pot.
Also, vertical growth will be an indicator on when to transplant.

How To Grow Marijuana

When Growing Marijuana, I've Found That There Are 4 Key Aspects

Water, Light, Food, & Pest Control

Water pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is. The pH scale ranges from 1–14, with a pH of 7 being neutral (the pH of pure water). Cannabis plants are only able to take up nutrients within a small pH window, which ranges from about 6–7 when growing in soil. I Use The BRITA Filtration System To Water My Plants.

Marijuana Growth Stages

If Growing From Clones, Skip To Vegetative Stage

Stage One: Seed

Germinate Marijuana Seeds By Wrapping Them In A Damp Paper Towel & Storing In Dark Area. Place In Zip Lock Bag  To Lock In Moisture.

Stage Two: Seedling

Plant Your Seedling In A Medium Such As Soil.

Stage 3: Vegetative

If Growing From Clones You Are Starting In A Very Early Vegetative Stage Clones should receive light 24 hours a day for two weeks, or until the roots are developed.

Clones With Developed Roots Ready To Be Planted

INTRODUCE FOOD

During Early Stages Of Vegetative Growth
Stem & Leaf Development Are Super Important For A Strong Healthy Plant.

During The Vegetative Stage It's Ideal To Use A Nutrient Solution ​High In Nitrogen & Low In  Phosphorus ​FloraNova Grow Supports and nourishes plants from their first moments of growth into later stages.

Stage Four: Flowering

During Flowering An Ideal Nutrient Mix Is High Phosphorus & Low Nitrogen This Will Swell Buds & Increase Yield

FloraNova Bloom
 Designed specifically for fruiting or flowering stages of growth, promotes vibrant color and higher yields.

Pre-Harvest Flush

Flushing is when you stop feeding the plants nutrients and simply give them water.

A Pre-Harvest Flush Will force the plant to use the nutrients stored within itself in the final week or so. If its nutrient reserves are not used by the plant or broken down, they will affect the quality of your harvest’s smoke and flavor.

Stage Five: Harvest

Once the buds have reached full maturation, it’s time to harvest.

Dry and Cure Your Cannabis

Cut & Hang Your Plants
​You may fully manicure your flowers before drying, or wait until after.

Once you determine that your cannabis buds are mostly dry,
​it’s time to cure them.

Manicure your buds and separate them from the branches

Place the trimmed buds into an airtight container, Pack them loosely and fill the container all the way to the top without compacting or crushing the buds.

​During the first week, open the containers several times per day and let the flowers “breathe” for a few minutes.

Proper Cannabis Curing Increases Potency After 2 to 3 weeks in containers, your cannabis will be cured enough to provide a quality experience, but 4 to 8 weeks of cure time will improve it even more.

Pest Control

Spider Mites & Caterpillars Were My Biggest Pest Issues & I Found Its Best To Treat Your Plants Before You Even See Pests To Keep Them At Bay

Since When?

My Current Grow: 06/28/19

Step One: Germinate Seeds

Doesn't Take That Long

Step Two: Plant In Soil

Too Soon For Mykos I planted the seedlings in Miracle-Gro Garden Soil. In that I'm not used to growing from seed I added a little Mykos Xtreme when I planted the seeds and I believe that caused the seedlings to burn out.

Step Three: WATER

11 Seedlings in 10 Cups

07/01/19

Seven Out Of The Original Eleven Seedlings Survived After 3 Days

I Continue To Germinate & Plant Seeds Every Couple Of Days.

07/05/19

After One - Three Days Of Germination The Seed Produces A Tap Root. You Can Plant A Seedling With A Tap Root Only A Couple Centimeters Long. I Planted This Seedling About One Inch Down & Lightly Covered It With Soil. Then Placed A Zip Lock Bag Over It To Lock In Moisture/ Create A Humid Environment. I Zip lock the sides to lock in more moisture.

07/07/19

I Remove The Ziplock Bag Once The Seedling Breaks The Soil

I Planted 4 More Seedlings In Zip Lock Bags

07/08/19

I Removed The Bags From 3/4 Seedlings & Will Wait A Couple More Hours To Remove The 4th Bag.

Quick Germination Method

I Put 5 Seeds In Filtered Water For ​24 Hours In A Dark Place. After 24 Hours The Seeds Were Still Floating At The Top So I Tapped Them One By One With A Toothpick & They All Sank To The Bottom. If Any Seed Had Not Sunk To The Bottom I Would Have Thrown It Out Assuming It Was No Good.

Next I Folded The 5 Seeds In A Damp Paper Towel & Stored Them In A Dark Area

I Will Plant The Germinated Seeds In Cup Of Soil Then Put Them In
​A Super Sprouter Dome Kit

I Hope You've Enjoyed My Journey So Far, Please Check Back Next Week For An Update.
