Spring must be here because I’m in germination mode. A friend of mine had a bag of moldy, wet, bunky weed that he’d left in his hockey bag. It was the left over of another friend’s crop from last winter – he’d paid off some of his hockey dues with dope. The funny thing was [...]

I picked up a new batch of marijuana seeds. I wanted a strain that would work well outdoors in this area. Cassandra at Vancouver Seed Bank steered me to a few options. I chose Dutch Treat x Hash Plant. This strain comes from East Island Seed Company, which is located on Vancouver Island. You can [...]

I’ve been trimming my marijuana plants to keep them a little shorter. The question is, what to do with the clippings? The answer is simple: clone them! What is cloning? Cloning is just rooting a plant cutting. If you can take a cutting from a plant and make that cutting grow roots then you can [...]

The seedlings are doing well. In fact, I’ve clipped a couple sprigs in order to try to root some clones. I can’t see any roots on the clones yet, but the first plant I cloned from has responded quickly: In this picture you can see the new growth that’s sprouted out near the bottom node. [...]

It’s one month in for the Red Girl x Dutch. Four plants going, with three going strong. There was some problem with over-watering, but that’s over now. When I say four plants you have to look closely. There’s a little plant trying to grow under one of the others (it’s in the middle pot). It [...]

It’s day 21 for the Red Girl x Dutch marijuana plants. They’re coming along ok. One of the three is absolutely rocking. The Dwarf is just looking weird. Next step is going to be the Stealth Garden V2.0. I don’t know why the leaves are so twisted on this little plant, but it’s going to [...]

Jiffy pellets are a great planting medium for newly germinated marijuana plants. They are compressed discs of peat wrapped in a fine net covering. They are an excellent tool for growing marijuana. You soak the jiffy pellets in PH balanced (6.5-7.0) water for a half hour or so and they expand. Remove the excess water [...]

On Day 16 they’re starting to take off. The marijuana plants look more yellow than they are – that’s the camera flash I think. Two of the marijuana plants are evening out in size, but the Dwarf is staying tight and dwarfy. All three are getting their third set of leaves, and these are the [...]

Ok, the seeds germinated and went in the ground on the 24th of December. Day 13 came, therefore, on the 6th of January. All three marijuana seedlings are doing well. They all have the second set of real leaves. You can see that there is still a variation in size. The first marijuana seed to [...]

It’s Day 10. There are three marijuana plants in the Stealth Bucket. The shortest one has it’s third set of leaves coming out. It’s still a bit cold where they are. I’ve got them very close to the light. In fact, one grew enough that it’s leaf started touching the bulb, and that was enough [...]

This blog talks about different ways of growing marijuana. Growing marijuana may be illegal where you live, and if it is I don't recommend that you break the law. Also, don't do damage to other peoples' property while cultivating cannabis. Instead, if you're going to do it, cultivate something special that you can share with your friends and that you can be proud of.
