HOW TO GROW MARIJUANA: A GUIDE TO START!

Step 4: Select nutrients suitable for cannabis

We do not stop saying that marijuana is a plant like any other, and it really is. To do this, you must also select the most suitable nutrients for your marijuana plant. Even though you have decided to grow with organic and fertilized soil, you will need to get more nutrients, and that these are suitable for cannabis. Marijuana plants feed much more than other plants, and therefore we must constantly add more nutrients to the soil.

Step 5: Buy your cannabis plants

Now that we have everything prepared, it will be time to buy or get the marijuana seeds. Today, in the United States, there are numerous dispensaries that will be able to advise you and offer you the best genetics.

If you have never grown any marijuana plant, you should know that the plant you should buy is female, so if you don’t know how to distinguish between a female or a male plant, you can always buy feminized seeds.

Step 6: Germinate the marijuana seeds

Now that we have everything, we can begin to germinate the marijuana seeds that you have bought. Although there are many methods, the easiest way to germinate the seeds is to place it directly in the pot and keep it moist.

Step 7: Vegetative stage

If you have done germination well, all that remains is to wait for the plant to start growing and therefore, the vegetative stage will begin. At this stage, the plant will only grow and become strong, so don’t expect flowers or buds to start to appear. At this time, it will be necessary to listen to the plant, and it is only recommended to add nutrients in full power if the plant needs more. You will be able to detect that the marijuana plant needs more nutrients if it begins to turn lime green and then yellow.

Step 8: Flowering Stage

Now that you’ve weathered the wait in the vegetative stage, let’s get to the flowering stage. In this, the plant will begin to produce the buds and therefore, this stage will last until the harvest can be carried out. It is recommended that during this process the schedule is changed from 12-12 light, that is, you must combine 12 hours of light with 12 hours of darkness.

Step 9: Harvesting the budsbud

The harvesting begins when new, white hairs stop coming out. At this time, the buds begin to have a fairly strong aroma, so we can identify that they are ready to be picked.

Still, as we said, it is better to wait at least until a large part of the white hairs have darkened. This change will really mark the beginning of the harvest. We could say that the hardest part of the whole cultivation is waiting for the right moment. To do it perfectly, you must be attentive to all the changes that occur in the plant.

Step 10: Dry and cure the marijuana

If you have already cut the buds, now it only remains to dry them and cure the marijuana to perfection to obtain the best results. By the time you have the buds cut, you should place them face down in a cool place.

What we just said will make the buds dry, but it will still be necessary to cure them so that they are soft. To do this, you must place them in tightly closed jars, in a cool and dark place.

How long does marijuana take to cure?

You can cure marijuana as much as you want. Remember that psychotropic compounds release a water molecule when properly healed and become more psychoactive. This will take at least 6 weeks if it heals under optimal conditions. The longer the cure, the smoother the result. Store your jars in a cool, dark place. THC breaks down into other cannabinoids when exposed to light for too long.

If you are not sure if the buds are ready, test your material when you think it is dry, and you will have a reference for the future. Dry grass does not always feel dry to the touch because of the waxes in the resin. You will quickly develop the ability to perceive the moisture in the buds.

Enjoying marijuana planted and cared for by yourself is not difficult. With a little patience and attention, you can get great results even in really tight spaces.

We hope this guide on how to grow your own marijuana step by step will be helpful.

Happy growing friends!
