Marijuana plants require a
minimum of eight hours of sunlight per day and should be planted in late
April/early May, after the last frost of the
year. Growing an outdoor marijuana crop has
been the favored method over the years, because marijuana seems to grow
better without as much attention when in its natural habitat.
Growing marijuana outdoors
requires precautions not encountered with an indoors crop; you
must be able to avoid detection, both from law enforcement freaks and
common freaks, both of whom will take your weed and probably use it. Of
course, one will also arrest you. You must also have access to the area
to prepare the soil and harvest the crop. There are two schools of
thought about starting the
marijuana seeds.
One says you should start the seedlings for about ten days in an indoor
starter box (see the indoor section) and then transplant. The other
theory is that you should just start them in the correct location. Fewer
plants will come up with this method, but there is no shock of
transplant to kill some of the seedlings halfway through.
The soil should be prepared for the little devils by turning it
over a couple of times and adding about one cup of hydrated lime per
square yard of soil and a little bit (not too much, now) of good water
soluble nitrogen fertilizer. The soil should now be watered several
times and left to sit about one week.
The plants should be planted at least three feet apart, getting too
greedy and stacking them too close will result in stunted plants. The
plants like some water during their growing season, BUT not too much.
This is especially true around the roots, as too much water will rot the
root system.
Grass grows well in corn
or hops, and these plants will help provide some camouflage. It does not
grow well with rye, or spinach
It is probably a good idea to plant in many small, broken patches, as
people tend to notice patterns.
Has many advantages, besides the apparent fact that
it is much harder to have your crop found, you can control the
ambient conditions just exactly as you want them and get a
guaranteed good plant.
Plants grown indoors will not appear the same as their outdoor
cousins. They will be scrawnier appearing with a weak stems and may
even require you to tie them to a growing post to remain upright,
BUT THEY WILL HAVE AS MUCH OR MORE RESIN!
You should be growing
weed in a growing room, you should put tar paper on the floors and
then buy sterilized bags of soil form a nursery. You will need about
one cubic foot of soil for each plant.
The plants will need fresh air, so the room must be ventilated.
(however, the fresh air should contain NO TOBACCO smoke.)
At least eight hours of light a day must be provided. As you
increase the light, the plants grow faster and show more
females/less males. Sixteen hours of light per day seems to be the
best combination, beyond this makes little or no appreciable
difference in the plant quality. Another idea is to interrupt the
night cycle with about one hour of light. This gives you more
females.
The walls of your growing room should be painted white or covered
with aluminium foil to reflect the light.
The lights themselves can be either bulbs of fluorescent. Figure
about 75 watts per plant or one plant per two feet of fluorescent
tube. The fluorescents are the best, but do not use cool white
types. The light sources should be an average of twenty inches from
the plant and NEVER closer than 14 inches. They may be mounted on a
rack and moved every few days as the plants grow.
The very best light sources are those made by Sylvan and others
especially for growing plants (such as the go lug types).
