Do you want to know the easiest and simplest ways to cultivate marijuana naturally? The following guide details how to grow weed and what equipment you need to be successful. If you have a small budget and enough dark space, then you are good to start small scale indoor production.
People who want to be cannabis growers ask, “where does marijuana plant grow naturally?” Basically, marijuana can grow anywhere if you have the right seeds. You can easily buy marijuana seeds online. Today, marijuana is largely found in South Asia especially in Afghanistan. And in America, South America holds the largest production of the plant.
To start, all that you is a place to cultivate pot. Getting a grow tent setup is good. They are inexpensive, made to breath from the inside, has room for plants to grow which can be quickly removed by a single person. There are different types of tents available on the market, including those with expensive hydroponic equipment. Your best play is to invest only in what is necessary with the tent and know how to grow these plants without the pricey plastic equipment. Some tents even have isolated spaces for plant growth and cloning, ideal for those living in a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment with little room for expansion.
How You Grow The Marijuana
After you have planted marijuana (like truenorth seeds), the next question now is how long does it take to grow marijuana. Depending on the type of seeds you planted, the method of growing and the amount of light you provide, marijuana plants can be harvested between 8.5 weeks to more than 7 months after planting.
As the plant grows, you need to maintain the amount of light and the height of the lights to keep up with the plant height. You need to lower down your light so that it is nearer to the marijuana plant instead of making the plants reach for lighting. As your weed grows, you need to increase the height of the lights as well as increase the amount of lighting. You will also need to set the light clock to be on 18 hours and off for 6 hours every day. During its leafy growth stage, the weed will grow its leaves and twigs without any flowers unless it is na auto-flowering variety.
You must avoid overwatering and overfeeding the weed. It is easier to put more water or nutrients to the plant than it is to remove them. Marijuana roots grow well in a wet/dry cycle. When you lift plants from the pots, you will get a better understanding for if the plants need more water or not judging by their weight. The first signs of overstuffed plants are the brown leaf tips. Using smart pots for marijuana allows you the freedom let the plant grow unaided. Cultivating marijuana requires that you know to stay away from it sometimes. You have to let the plant grow on its own.
Cropping For Higher Production
It is best to start pruning early and continue pruning it at regular intervals. Pinch or cut the branches just above where the the new shoots will grow. If you are good at this process, the plants will look like bonsai bushes with a lot of bud sites but not a lot of widening out and large gaps between buds. The aim is to increase the number of buds growing and becoming stems. More stems mean more leaves. This is an effective way to get more leaf production out of small spaces, and the growth period and spurt will also improve so keep that in your timetable.

Picking, Ventilation, and Curing
Knowing when and how to pick your weed buds is as important as knowing how to grow marijuana. You must use a high-powered magnifying scope to study the trichomes, the tiny stalk, and head which is called the “crystal”. Up close, the stock heads look like little mushrooms with a stalk that goes round the clear top. This is where the psychoactive elements are located. You can start harvesting when most of the gland heads start to go grey white, but before they have gone wholly yellowish-brown. Or if you want a more lethargic effect, you can pick them when they are mostly orangey.
After you have established that the weed buds are adequately dried out, then you can place them in a jar and set aside for medicinal purposes. The stems should break instead of twisting and the outside of the flowers should seem very dry to the skin when touched. There is lots of water stuck inside the bud and the curative process will slowly “fluid” out the residual liquid. The process allows the excess water to evaporate.
Final Hit
Now that you know the basics of growing weed from seeds up to the harvesting, you get the right tools and start planting. Don’t forget to take down notes or much better, start making your marijuana-growing diary.
