Feminized Cannabis Seeds: Seeds where all plants grow up to be female and produce buds

Hermies: Hermie cannabis plants can look like normal female plants at first glance, but they produce pollen that causes seedy buds, just like male plants. Hermies are to be avoided!

How to Flush Your Cannabis Before Harvest

by Sirius Fourside

If you’ve ever gone to a forum for advice on growing cannabis, you’ll know that there is no shortage of opinions on what you can do to become a better grower.

Learning new tips and techniques give you an edge in growing and help you increase your yields. However, there is one thing that I consider to be the most important part of advancing your growing knowledge…

We all know that buds grow on the topside of a cannabis plant. That’s enough reason for many of us to think that the top part of the plant is ‘the important part’.

by Sirius Fourside

Do you ever feel that there just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything you need to do?

by Sirius Fourside

What’s the secret to growing the best bud? Whether there really is a secret or not doesn’t matter, because human nature compels us to try to find one! Everyone wants to know the secret thing they’re missing that will take their grow to the expert level.

by Nebula Haze

Key Takeaway: You can use LST (Low Stress Training - a technique that gently bends plants) to create multiple colas. LST also allows you to force cannabis plants to grow into a shape and size you want - even if you only have a tiny grow space!

Example: All this bud is growing on a single 18" tall plant in someone's homemade grow box!
(this wouldn't be possible without LST/plant training)

by Nebula Haze

Cannabis plants grow best when they're getting the nutrients they need at the right time. Humans are the same way; if we're missing certain vitamins it limits our growth when we're young, and as we get older a lack of vitamins causes us to become sick in strange ways.

One of my biggest regrets about growing is that I didn’t start sooner.

If you’ve ever tried to learn how to grow cannabis via cannabis growing forums, you’ve probably seen a few terms thrown around that confuse newcomers.

One that you’ve most undoubtedly seen is “ppm”.

What's that smell?

Have you ever been standing somewhere with no one around, and you catch a hint of marijuana smell in the breeze? Even if you couldn’t spot the source, you wouldn’t doubt what your nose told you.

Hello there, fellow growers! I know that a major concern for a lot of you guys is and always has been strategic and stealthy growing.

Unlike humans with our complicated social systems, dietary needs, etc., the cannabis plant has a very short list of things it needs to be happy and grow buds: Light, water, air and nutrients.

Light is the easy one since more light is usually better for your plants.

Water isn’t much trouble since any clean water from pretty much any source will do as long as the pH is corrected.

Air is free and you can move it around with a cheap oscillating fan…easy!

by Ekrof of SpaceBuckets.com

Forward by Nebula Haze: Space Buckets are easy to build at home, and will allow you to grow small amounts of marijuana in a way that's low budget, simple, and doesn't need a lot of room.

Unlike other, more expensive grow methods, a starter Space Bucket only costs about $100 to make.

For those who might not be familiar, the term "ScrOG" (Screen of Green) refers to a marijuana growing technique that uses a net or wire mesh to control the height of the plant.

If you hear or read growers refer to "SCROGing," "scrogging" or "scroggin" a plant, this is what they are talking about.

Your marijuana is focusing completely on making buds during the flowering stage.

During this stage, plants often need a little extra TLC as they are not putting as much effort into their health.

Making Feminized Marijuana Seeds at Home is Easy!
(How To Breed 2 Female Plants Together For Seeds)

by Nebula Haze

Ever wondered how those marijuana seed banks make feminized seeds? When you "feminize" a seed, what that means is you're ensuring that the resulting seed will produce a female plant. Most growers only want to grow female cannabis plants, since the females plants are the only ones which grow buds/flowers. 

Please note: This article was written in April 2012. Since then, LED grow lights have been improved to produce even better results when growing marijuana.
