For those who want to gro marijuana:
GERMINATION
AN important steap in marijuana cultivation is germinating your seeds properly. Their are several differernt methods to seed germination. The method I am about to show you is one which yeilded many success stories
First, get a paper towel. Soak it in warm distilled water, then ring out all the excess water that you can. Soak the seeds in the same distiled water for a half hour. Lay the seeds spaced out on one half of the paper towel. fold the paper towel over the seeds. Place the seeds / paper towel on a plate. Place a bowl upside down over the setup to mantain moisture and reduce light. WIthen approximately 2 days you should see a crack. Your germination stage is then complete.
Warning
Never touch the seeds with your hands after you begin germinating, always use tweezers
Warning
Once germination is complete, always remember to place the seeds sprout down
SOIL
During the vegetative state, you should use Peters 20-20-20 fertilizer (1 teaspoon) salt (1/2 teaspoon). Some growers also like miricle grow and repaid grow fertilizer. During he flowering stage you should change the fertilizer to peters 10-20-10 or 5-50-17 fertilizer (1 teaspoon) + salt (1/2 teaspoon) + trace element food (1 teaspoon)
LOCATION
The MOST importent steap in cultivation marijuana, in my opinion, is choosing a good location. You should find an area of the house with moderate temperature. I recommend building or buying a cupboard or something about 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall. (for 5 plans) make that almost no unwanted light can enter.
TEMPERATURE
THroughout all stages, you should try and keep a steady temperature of approximately 65 degrees. If the temperature cooler then 50 degrees and the plant will not grow properally. If you allow the temperature the exceed 75 degrees, the plant will burn.
SEED SELECTION
Selecting seeds is pretty simple. Because your germination rate should be close to 100%, the amount of seeds you need should be about double the number of plants you want to grow. (you will disgard all the male plants). You can grow plants from any seeds that you may come accross in your bags, or you may purchase them over the internet.
LIGHTING
Good Lighting is a crutial part of marijuana cultivation. You should get two 4" flourescent light sets (5 plants) You should set them approximately 6 inches above the hight of the plant. The lighting shouldn't cost too much.
Warning
Beleive it or not, the plant GROWS. As the plant grows you must raise the lighting or your plants will burn...
