Some people call the buds “colas”, from the Spanish word for tail, especially with strains that have a big central bud as opposed [...]

Marijuana goes through a complete life cycle in one season – it sprouts, grows, blooms and dies. While all parts of the plant have some THC it’s the blooms, or buds, that have the highest concentration, and so it’s the buds that we are usually after.

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.
(These seed companies do not pay me any commissions, but they're good people).
These things work great, and I use them all the time, but getting them from Amazon is more expensive than you might get them in the store (20 cents versus 12 cents). If you can't get them somewhere else, though, you can buy them here. I get a commission from Amazon.
