Inside the grow: an overview This handy guide will show you every step of the process of growth within your first marijuana plant. Starting seeds and nutrients to the lighting and hydroponic systems, this guide is a basic overview for beginners producer of marijuana inside.
Seeds
For your first transaction growth I recommend the seeds that are readily available, like those found in your own budget. Once you have some experience more, you may want to consider buying cannabis seeds. There are several types of marijuana seeds on the ground and many different strains. There are feminized seeds that produce only female plants, and there are dwarf plants that flower low-rider automatically. There are many varieties of sativa, indica, and hybrids (containing the DNA of two strains of Indica and Sativa). Sativa Sativa dominant and tend to give the user more of a heads up, as opposed to a body high, while indica dominant strains tend to give Stoney couch-lock high. Step 2 culture method
There are many methods of cultivation of cannabis, but we only talk about the ground with here, since this is a beginners tutorial. Hydroponics is a subject of a future tutorial.
Growing in soil is also the method proposed by the Head of cannabis when Marijuana is used in foods. Sol will provide the most natural taste for cannabis and the best for cooking.
The seeds germinate
It is extremely useful to germinate seeds before starting a soil indoor grow operation. To germinate the seeds, just put them in a folded wet paper towel and leave overnight. Check the seed if germination has started to penetrate the seed coat, then he is ready. If not, re-dampen the paper towels and continue this process until the seed germinates. If the seed does not pass in five or six days, it's probably a dud. Mix and repeat.
Preparing the space
You'll need space to grow your plants. Wherever you choose to grow, be sure to properly prepare the space. I suggest coating the floor with garbage bags or plastic sheeting to prevent water damage. There is also a good idea of the line or paint the walls with a white material. This will reflect light in plants. If this is not an option, you can use aluminum foil. Make sure the dull side of the sheet is directed outward toward the plants. The foil is not a good choice, but it is better than nothing.
Select and install a light
The Head of cannabis suggests that they stay away from fluorescent lights, but if you still use a CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) and at least 100 watts for a plant. Your plant will probably grow, but you'll also likely be disappointed in your cultures. We suggest you use between 250-400 watt HPS (high pressure sodium) or MH HID (high intensity discharge metal halide) lights. You want to mount the lights in a way that allows you to move up as the plant grows. For security reasons, we suggest you use a light reflector and a fan in the space you use. Not only to prevent the fan to get hot in space, it will also help to circulate oxygen to the plants.
The construction of facilities
For every plant you grow you will need a bucket of 3-5 gallons. You can find them at Home Depot or almost any store. You can also find much to amazon.com. Make sure you poke about 5 small holes in the bottom of the bucket to allow the excess water. You can use the lid of the bucket as a recipient of the water by placing it under the bucket.
Then, fill each bucket with soil, leaving about 4 inches high. We suggest using organic compost. Test soil pH us.
