Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to grow marijuana! Growing weed is super easy—it’s called “weed” for a reason—so don’t worry if you haven’t grown anything before. Our clear, easy-to-digest guide will help growers of all kinds, especially first-time ones.
Whether growing indoors or outdoors, growing marijuana is a fun and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging and takes a certain amount of time and money. We’ll walk you through all the steps of growing, from preparation, to seed germination, plant growth, and harvesting. We’ll also go over best practices for growing and how to troubleshoot common problems.
There are many myths and traditions about growing weed, so it can be hard to sort good, sound advice from hearsay. An abundance of cannabis growing information has been passed down by word of mouth because the plant was illegal for so long, so there’s ample information on indoor growing and how to get the most out of a small space by maximizing harvests and training plants.
These are all good resources, but not all growers want to put in that amount of time and effort to get a ton of weed. Some growers just want to have fun, grow a little weed, and smoke something they grew themselves.
