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.

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.

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.
