Legal Buds and Herbal Smoke

Description

To start growing you must have good seeds, some seedling soil, some small and large pots and depending on whether you're growing indoor or outdoor some lamps and all the toys around them. Soak the seeds in a cup of water overnight before beginning the process of growing. First you may want to have some good fertilized soil, preferably peat moss, and you may want to use a little bit of miracle grow, which can be purchased at a low price at any plant shop, pretty mucQuik grow tips. You must have either a 400 watt or 600 watt grow lamp. Soft white bulbs will NOT work. RATIO: 1 400 watt lamp = 1 squire meter of plants( +/- 25 plants). First up you will need a small space. A wooden closet of approximately 100*100*200cm would be good. This size can be varied depending on the number of plants but this is good for 25. Remember to make sure that your lights will fit inside the closet. The inside of this closet should be painted with flat white paint or coated with aluminum foil (or mylar is you have it). This will increase reflectivity and will make your lights more effective. Now you need to put lights inside the cabinet. The optimum temperature is 27-30 C. It will probably be hotter than this so cut a small ventilation hole (10cm*10cm) in the top of the cabinet. Mount the lights vertically with one in each corner, as close to the top of the cabinet as possible. Mount the remaining light on the roof of the cabinet. Wire all the lights into one plug with enough cable to reach the socket. This could be dangerous so get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. Use an appropriate fuse or better still, buy a circuit breaker. Buy a timer. A standard and widely available 24hr timer will be fine. These are cheap. Get some potting soil from a garden center. Sandy or loose soils are good soils for growing. The exact soil is not all that important. With enough light and nutrients you should have no trouble getting good growth. If you can then monitor soil pH values. Switch the lights on and leave them on. Plant 10-15 seeds. Water the plants once a day and feed the plants twice a week with a standard miracle grow product in the water. Try to use a high nitrogen plant food during vegetative growth (at the start) and a low nitrogen plant food during flowering. When the plants get to the height you want them (about 60cm is good) set the timer for 12 hours of light and 12 of dark. Only water once every two days around the time when the lights come on. This will halt vertical growth and after a few weeks the plants will start to show either male or female characteristics. Males: pollen balls. Females: stems and branches. During the dark periods absolutely no light should be allowed in. Cut out the males before they release pollen. Reduce the number of plants down to the best 5 females. These females will now grow outwards. The whole thing takes 4 months. 4-6 weeks in vegetative growth stage, 2 weeks differentiation to split males and females and 8 weeks for the females to flower. Harvest when the large leaves begin to yellow and drop off. Cut the leaves off and let dry on a flat surface. Trim the leaf near the buds and hang the buds to dry for about a week.
