How To Grow Marijuana

To get the best homegrown, you've got to start with superior seed. The seed I from your choicest stash will yield the l best results, especially if it happens to f come from the Mexican state of Guerrero or the hills of Panama. It's the extra chromosomes that deliver the extra wallop! Mexican commercial will yield great rope but poor dope--like parent like offspring.

The seed should be fleshed out and not crinkled up. Good seed will appear bright gray, gray-green, or gray-brown, and will appear glossy if rubbed between the palms of your hands. Seed vitality and viability, 7 as well as frost resistance, can be maximized by exposing the seed to the south pole of a small bar magnet for five to six hours.

The soil should be neutral to slightly alkaline, pH 7.5-8.0, and sufficiently loose in texture to allow the roots to get at least two feet down. It should have good drainage, with the water table three to six feet below ground. The best soil is rich loam with fine sand and low clay , the amount of clay being the limiting factor to growth. Test for clay content by taking a few handfuls of soil from the plot. The soil should ball together when squeezed, but crumble easily into fine particles. Soil which compacts too easily and which will not crumble under light pressure (applied by pressing lightly on the ball) is too wet /has too much clay. This can be corrected by working vermiculite/humus/sand into the soil. At the time of planting the soil should be moist but not wet. Leave the rest of the watering to Mother Nature unless severe drought strikes.

To maximize your seed's potential, plant one-half to one inch deep with the pointed end of the seed aligned facing south with the earth's magnetic field. This should be done when the moon is waxing, preferably in the first quarter, and when the moon is in one of the fertile signs: Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio. The next date for most favorable planting is June 1-3, the moon in Scorpio just prior to the full moon.

Don't plant cannabis downwind/downstream from tomato or tobacco plants as they harbor molds and parasites extremely harmful to the humble herb. Aside from that, there's not much to do except love your plants. Sure, it sounds crazy, but the living herb responds to you. And the more positive energy you give to it, the more v vibrant and vital the plant becomes.
