LESSON 21 - Harvesting

When about 75 percent of the hairs of your plant are reddish or brown (or that same percent of trichomes are cloudy) then your plant is ready to harvest. Depending on how early or late you take it, your marijuana may produce a different type of high. Early harvesting will produce a "energetic" high, while harvesting late produces a "stupid" high. This is because the longer it takes to harvest the more the THC will convert to CBD and CBN producing the later high. You can cure by cutting off every thing except the buds and then hanging the whole plant upside in a dry dark place for a minimum of 2 weeks. This will ensure it dries out completely, then for another 2 weeks place the buds in a type of plastic container and once a day open the lid to let the buds breath. After this 4 week cure your buds will be good to smoke.

LESSON 18 - Pests

Mites and fungi can ruin your plants. If your areas is prone to contamination or outside nature (even yourself) you may have a pest problem. By using a small amount of soap on the leaves of the plants it will hold off many pests. If fungus starts growing on your plant, immediately remove the branch or buds infected and spray a vegetable-safe fungicide on the plant, do not spray fungicide on a plant that does not have a history of fungus. Do not bring an outside plant into your indoor grow space as it will most surely infect your plants and you will have to completely sanitize your area again before another grow.

LESSON 15 - Plant Food & Nutrients

The standard in nutrients on any plant food are the N-P-K (example 15-15-15). N is for Nitrogen. P is for Phosphorus. K is for Potassium. There are also ingredients sometimes inside this called trace elements. These may include iron, manganese and zinc. A good plant food will have the proper NPK balance and include the trace elements. In the vegetative state the plant need more nitrogen, usually a good plant food that would be suitable for growing tomatoes will do the job. At the vegetative state look for 20-20-20 NPK. By using more than a teaspoon per gallon of plant food or greatly exceeding the recommended dose you will cause fert-burn (termed from the tips of the leaves becoming very dry as if burnt), which means you have over fertilized, you will quickly see the results in the leaves and the plant may die shortly if you do not quickly over-water the plant and flush/leach the nutrients from the soil or reservoir.

LESSON 12 - Guerilla Farming

Guerilla Farming is the process of growing large amounts of marijuana on a land not owned by you. This is usually done in hard to find flat lands or high in mountains. The main idea is that you want a very large grown that no one else is going to find except you. You usually will wear plastic under you shoes, gloves and a ski-mask to hide any evidence such as footprints, fingerprints and hair of tracing back to you. Tips on this method is to park your vehicle far away in an obscure area, buy a type of ivy remedy, and top your plants in order to make them look more bushy. Any type of fencing can also be used to hold off pests and animals. You may also want to dig deep in order to make a type of well in case water is a problem to get to that location. It doesn't matter if you use clones or seedlings to grow in your spot, make sure you grow a ton of plants such as 100 to 300 as many will die in the wild.

LESSON 9 - Flowering State

Naturally in the wild as the winter months come the sunlight in the day decreases to about 12 hours. In outdoor grows, around autumn time the plants will naturally flower. Indoor marijuana growers mimic this process by switching their lights to around 12 hours of lights, 12 hours of dark. After switching to the flowering times you must repeat them throughout the duration of the plants remaining life, so timers are usually bought from stores to do this job so the manual stress is taken off the grower. Also, the dark cycle must have uninterrupted darkness or your plants may turn into hermaphrodites or not flower at all. The plants can stand as much as natural moonlight would provide for a couple minutes and a small green light can be bought if you must work on your plants in the dark.

The plant food must also be changed at this time from the 20-20-20 to atleast a 10-20-10 or 15-30-15 flowering plant food or higher K level. Also when buying this plant food look for a list of trace elements other than the standard three.

At around one or two weeks white hairs will develop from the calyx of some plants, these are the females. Buds will only develop on female marijuana plants. Balls will emerge from the other plants, these are the males. Once the males are spotted throw them out immediately. Sometimes due to stress a plant will have both balls and white hairs, these are hermaphrodites and must also be discarded as quickly as possible. you can do this by using heavy duty scissors or shears and cutting them gently at the bottom of their stem. Do not be too rough on the males as you may burst a ball and pollen can ruin your whole crop.

Eventually the white hairs will turn to a reddish or brownish color, when over 75% of the plant is covered with these colored hair the plant is ready to harvest.

LESSON 6 - Sea Of Green

The sea of green method is the idea of having many small plants go through their maturity early to yield the harvest more frequently. So usually in this method they are very compacted together and mainly grown for their top cola. The minimum space should be about one plant per square foot. The whole process will usually take about 45 days, so it is recommended not to top plants as it will only slow down the process.

LESSON 3 - Indoor Planting

Any unattended room will do in bringing plants indoors, whether it be a basement, bedroom, attic or a closet. The first step is usually securing any spots where light can leak through that can ruin your light cycle. The next step is placing a type of plastic or similar material on the floor of the space so that no leaks will build causing rot in your house. Then you will need ventilation, a small fan or a couple computer fans will do in a small space, while you will need a larger fan for a bigger space and nice ventilation for air to come in and out. One mistake many people do is to use mirrors, which will actually absorb any light produced. The walls should instead be painted white or lined with mylar or the dull side of aluminum foil.

Any electrical equipment including lights should be placed on a small table or shelf in case of emergency spills. Separating the seedling space or shelf from the flowering cycle of your main grown is as easy as using a a dark curtain or sum type of light proof material.

For seedlings, a couple fluorescent light bulbs will due. Either they both be the cheap $1.00 cool white lights or a 50/50 split of warm and cool bulbs.
