INTRODUCTION
First off, I would like to thank you for choosing this book. I hope that you
find it helpful and informative.
No matter what you call it, marijuana, cannabis, pot, or weed, it has a long
history of human use. For ancient cultures, they didn’t use marijuana to
simply get high, but, instead, used it as herbal medicine. This likely started in
Asia around 500 BC. America’s history of cannabis dates back to the early
colonists who grew it for textiles and rope.
In this book, we are going to cover how you can grow cannabis. First, we will
go over the life cycle of cannabis. This will look at every single change that
the plant goes through before it can be harvested.
Then we will look at the various strains of cannabis. This will cover how to
spot the difference between Sativa and Indica, and we’ll explore 12 varieties
of weed and the effects they have.
Next, we will move into getting your seeds ready for planting and growing.
For the most part, the germination process will involve soaking the seeds in
water for some length of time. After that, you will be able to plant them.
Next up will be looking at the vegetative growth stage of the cannabis plant.
This will take an in-depth look at what to expect during this stage, as well as
what your plants are going to need from you and mother nature at this time.
After that, we will discuss the process of cloning. Cloning is a very popular
process if you want to have a cannabis plant growing at all times. As you will
find out, you don’t want you to have a male plant around, so cloning is the
next best way to start another plant.
Then we will move into the flowering stage of life. This is the part we have
all been waiting for, but it’s not ready to harvest just yet. Here we will look at
what your plants will need from you to make sure they grow the best buds.
The next two chapters will look at the harvesting, drying, and curing process.
This is probably the most important part and is something that you can’t skip
over. It will seem like a long wait, but it will be worth it.
Then we will go over how to grow your plants indoors. Over the next three
chapters, we will look at the different aspects of having an inside cannabis
garden and what you will need to grow healthy plants
Next, we will cover how to grow cannabis outside. This brings with it the
problems of unpredictable weather and pests. Don’t worry, though; we will
go over that as well.
Lastly, we will wrap things up by talking about how to breed your plants.
This is similar to the cloning process but is slightly more advance. Don’t
worry, you don’t have to breed your plants if you don’t want to, but it is
interesting to learn about.
Let’s get started.
CHAPTER 1: THE LIFE CYCLE OF CANNABIS
It can be rather confusing when you start growing marijuana, especially when
you have no idea what to expect. You think you have been doing everything
just right, but when you harvest, you don’t get as much as you thought you
would. Maybe you need to learn a bit more about the life cycle of cannabis so
you will be able to grow the best crop possible.
Marijuana plants go through a lot during their lifetime. There are going to be
some major milestones, and when you become familiar with these, you will
be able to take care of your plants better. You will be able to see any health
problems if they come up before it harms the plant.
Once you know the best-case scenario, you will be able to see the problem
and fix it immediately. But there might be times when you hit a problem that
you just won’t be able to fix.
You might have a plant that won’t grow no matter what you do, but knowing
exactly what to expect won’t hurt. You will be able to see how much of a
difference a couple of weeks will make. Once you are prepared for all stages
of the plant’s lifecycle by learning about all its behaviors and needs, you will
have an abundant crop.
Seeds
As with most other plants, it all begins with a seed. Choose a seed and hold it
in your hand. Turn it around. Look it over. Notice how heavy or light it is.
See its color and shape.
Now, can you tell if that little seed will grow a female or male marijuana
plant? You can’t because nobody can. This introduces you to the main
problem when trying to grow marijuana: is there any way that you can be
certain that the seed you plant will produce the amount of marijuana you
want?
This question is important since the female plant is the only one that produces
the buds that you harvest to be smoked, vaped, dabbed, or ingested. The male
plant doesn’t produce any of this. A male plant could hurt your harvest if they
are grown with female plants.
