  • A Quick Guide To Growing Your Own Legal Weed At Home

    When you break it down, marijuana plants are actually just weeds.

    This means that they can grow pretty much everywhere. If you want some good quality bud, though, there are a few things you’ll want to take into consideration.

    Now that it’s legal (for consumption in a private space and all that jazz), a lot of people are considering growing their own personal stash.

    If you’re one of those people, here’s a simple guide to getting it right, courtesy of Weed Culture.

    First – your marijuana plant will need these six resources:

    • The right lighting (effect on yield size)
    • Fresh Air (Fresh air is a must)
    • The Grow Medium (Few options here)
    • Perfect Temperature (20 degrees – 26 degrees)
    • Plant Nutrients (Less is more in the beginning)
    • Water (soil likes pH 6 – 7 & hydro likes pH 5.5 – 6.5)

    If you didn’t understand half of the jargon above, don’t stress. The second step to growing the ultimate smokeable is research. and Google is your friend.

    If you’re experiencing a problem with your plant, chances are someone else has experienced the same problem before you.

    Lastly, follow all of the steps in the how-to-grow marijuana guides. You can access a full grow guide here.

    In the meantime, the lifecycle of a plant is as follows:

    • Seeds planted sprout in springtime
    • Marijuana grows right through the summer
    • When days get shorter it produces flowers or pollen
    • Pollination occurs
    • Females produce seeds
    • The marijuana plant dies off in winter
    • The cycle repeats

    One of the main skills you’ll need to develop when growing weed is the ability to tell the difference between a male and female plant. You’ll want to keep the females and burn the males to prevent cross-contamination.

    Unless you are breeding marijuana plants, you need to make sure you separate them as early as possible. Only the females produce buds! They only show if they are male or female towards then end of the vegetative stage. Sometimes as late as the beginning of the flowing stage.

    Male plants don’t produce buds, so they’re pretty useless. Finally, choose the right strain:

    All marijuana plants are a combination of two plants. They get their genes from their parents. Growing good cannabis genetics will put you on the right path to begin with. Do some research on the marijuana strain you have decided to grow.

    Different strains might require more attention than others while growing. Some will definitely be harder to grow than others.

    The three main types of strains available are Sativa, Indica and hybrids.

    You can do all of the above and more, or you could just buy a grow kit that comes with everything that you need to cultivate your own weed.

    Oh, and if you need to order something from overseas, the best way to ensure a quick and safe delivery is by setting up an account with Postbox Courier, the groundbreaking service that gives you a shipping address in the US, UK and Hong Kong.

    In three to five working days after ordering, your goodies are at your door and you’re ready to get stuck in.

    Happy growing!
