Marijuana Growth


Marijuana Seedlings

Moisture and warmth from the soil will cause your seeds to awaken. Within a few days, if the soil is warm enough, the seed casing will crack open and a fragile root and stem will form. When the seedling emerges it is at its most vulnerable and your weed clearing and good soil preparation will have paid off.

Marijuana Vegetative Growth

Once established your seedlings will soon enter a vigorous vegetative growth stage. From such fragile beginnings plants quickly become full and robust. Unlike growing marijuana indoors you have no control over the duration of the vegetative growth stage and over the course of a summer plants can become huge. It is a good idea during this phase to feed your plants well with some quality, nitrogen rich, fertilizer.

    Hi.I was wondering what to do when you have a 1ft female plant.That is a dark green and you can smell it from your nextdoor neighbours?????.Thanks

  3. glen Says:

    aussiebud, u should move it to the forest but make sure to use proper soil and dig deep, the deeper the hole the better. also weed around the plant and protect it with chicken wire to protect it from unwanted animals.(deer love to eat weed)

    hi i have some clones that started indoors and i would like to plant them outside they have great roots and i live in so cal so its getn hot do i have to introduce them to sunlight gradualy or can i just plant my babies outside rightaway?

  7. big mac Says:

    You could put them out but keep a close eye or else it will dry up.

  8. mackdown Says:

    Do you really need 18 hours of light per day to grow? If this is so, how does marijuana ever grow outside? I can’t think of anywhere in the world that has 18 hours of sunlight per day.

    Admin: Some people grow them in the desert with a massive water supply dug into the ground to get the full 18 hours. But you are right 18 hours is not realisitc. Buy ‘auto flowering’ seeds and they grow like normal and then autoflower later even if there is half cloud cover everyday (UK). try these: http://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/lowryder_2_seeds.html

    I’m crap on computers, but for a 1st time grower im the bollocks, I just grew 2 plants this year. and i,ve just recently cropped them, I,ve looked on the internet all through the growing process to get tips and i asked mates who new what they was doing. I.ve just got 8 onces of each plant which sold like cream cakes, and everyone is going mad for it, only thing is, i didn’t keep them going, how do i put pics on here?? i would love you all to see the photos. And can i grow the cut back stems again?? the trunks are at least 1and a half inch thick.

  15. htgadmin Says:

    You can’t post pictures directly in the comments Ian. But if you want to post your marijuana pictures here you can link to them if you want.

  18. big bud boy Says:

    yes piss in the pots

  19. Kjack Says:

    I recently planted some seeds in a pot not really thinking they would grow and they are sprouting like crazy…..but not thinking they would ALL sprout I put a lot of seeds and now they are growing all on top of each other. Should I try and move some to another pot or just let them grow???

  20. ganga goodness Says:

    pray to god no one smells it and steals that shit haha..

  21. Jadakai Says:

    you should set them on window seals for a few hours a day so they get used to natural light. then you can plant them outside but be sure to watch them for at least 3 weeks for any thing different

  22. GhettoRedneck Says:

    Ok I was told by a buddy to start plucking the first leaves as the start growing taller towards the sun. Any suggestions?? They are ready for the transplant and this is my 1st attempt.

  23. Farmer John Says:

    GhettoRedneck……Think of the leaves as the batteries of the plant. To get fastest growth, never, let me say it again…NEVER remove green leaves. Also, prune to open the middle of the plant so you won’t be tempted to remove large, shade making leaves. And keep this thought in your head : This is not your 1st attempt, this is your 1st crop! The girls (plants) will absolutely love you and in return you will love and care for them
    until a very happy harvest. Be proud of your crop because the girls will be proud to give you their best. May sound silly, but give them a good positive home. Play music. Talk to them. Buy a book. Good luck.

  24. Farmer John Says:

    Kjack…As carefully as you can, separate the little things. You absolutely do not want them to all grow together, Your yield would be 0.1 (one tenth) or less what you will get if you SEPARATE ! Each in its own container. Have fun.

  25. Farmer John Says:

    Wazza…Sea weed or kelp, soak and clean off the salt, dry and chop fine. This is THE best organic fertilizer Known to man. If you happen to live by the ocean, kelp is the only complete org. fert. that I know of. One simple food for life, nothing more but water. It’s expensive at your local plant dealer but worth it because it’s so simple! Take a drive to the coast. Good luck.

  26. Farmer John Says:

    Big bud boy…I hope you don’t really pee on your plants. Let people here know you’re kidding. Peeing beside the container will help (yes, only help) keep critters away. If you pee in the container, you will badly upset the PH and burn the plant and that plant will die a horrible death. Guess what the other plants will be thinking!!!

  27. Farmer John Says:

    Wazza…. forgot to mention…high nitrogen fert. (and Theo says VERY high) will prevent your plants from starting to flower because of the longer night. Keep in mind that the shortening Fall days (ergo longer nights) are what the plants sense in order to start flowering. You don’t want that to happen. Try 2X what the instructions say for nitrogen when vegging. Leaves turning yellow or white or white tips is normal. If they start to wilt (fall down, loose leaves), give them a nice rinse with pure water and they’ll recover but still probably not start flowering. Good luck.
