Grow marijuana - 3 stages before harvesting.

If you grow marijuana indoors consider these suggestions:

When you grow marijuana the three stages prior to harvesting include:

1. Germination - takes 2 days
2. Vegetation - takes 4 - 6 weeks
3. Flowering - takes about 8 weeks

Germination is important to grow marijuana properly.
Use distilled tepid water - soak paper towel & ring out excess. Soak seeds for half an hour, lay them on half of the paper towel & fold over the seeds, and then place on a plate. Place bowl upside down over setup to maintain moisture and reduce light. Within approximately 2 days the seeds will crack and germination is complete. Avoid handling the seeds and place them sprout down to grow marijuana.

Lighting
You'll need two 4' fluorescent light sets to grow marijuana properly. Set them approximately 6 inches above the plant. As plant grows the lighting must be raised up or plants will burn.

Watering
Vegetative state: water approximately twice daily. Flowering stage: water once a day (at the time lights are turned on).
During the vegetation stage, use 20-20-20 fertilizers & ½ teaspoon of salt (some grow marijuana using fertilisers). Make sure humidity is about 90% and water twice a day. Keep plants well-lit 24 hours a day.
During flowering stage, reduce lighting to 12 hours a day. Change fertilizer to 10-20-10 or 5-50-17 (1 teaspoon). Include salt (1/2 teaspoon) + trace element food (1 teaspoon). Begin flowering stage when plant is 12 inches tall or taller. Reduce humidity by watering only once a day with lights on. When 80% of white hairs on the female plants change colors, harvest. Hang buds upside down in well-ventilated place for 2 weeks. Do not harvest too late or too soon.

Location
Choose a good location to grow marijuana with moderate temperature. Consider buying/building a light tight closet 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall.

Temperature
To grow marijuana well, always keep steady temperatures of approximately 65 degrees. Temperatures below 50 degrees stunt growth while those over 75 degrees will burn plants.

Seed Selection
Seeds to grow marijuana are a personal choice and can be purchased over the Internet.

Plant Selection
Once in flowering stage, some plants have white lines and pollen. These are the female plants. Keep them. The rest are males & must be eliminated; otherwise they will not enable you to grow marijuana.
