I’ve been growing my own cannabis for a couple of years now and I can’t imagine ever going back. Growing your own weed is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Setting up your grow room and figuring out how to grow weed is challenging and rewarding.
My growing videos and articles document my journey of growing weed and learning to grow better. I’m not an expert grower, but I operate with a scientific mind and I have a network of master growers to help us.
Growing your own cannabis is a serious investment of time, attention, and money. Harvest time should be a rewarding experience filled with big beautiful buds that are easy to trim and gorgeous enough for the ‘gram. Small Buds suck. They’re much harder to trim and they don’t offer the same jar appeal as large chunky…
Low-Stress Training is a method of plant manipulation that involves bending stems or branches to reshape and optimize the plant’s canopy. Low-Stress Training, or LST, does not include cutting or topping and is often preferred for auto-flower grows. I’ve done Low-Stress Training a few times but have always used plant wire to bend and shape the…
My last few grows used traditional soil and I struggled with watering issues throughout. The daily disciplines and tight schedules were tough to maintain and my harvests suffered. Growing weed went from an adventure to a chore and I’m ready to bring the adventure back. In the world of automated watering systems, hydroponics is the…
For maximum yield in a 5×5 grow tent, these are the best Mars Hydro grow lights and this is how they compare. I’ve done a couple of grows each now with these massive LED lights from Mars Hydro. They’re all great lights and extremely capable of fully lighting a 5×5 grow tent. These grow lights…
Curing cannabis flowers is a delicate process with very little room for error. Traditionally, cannabis nugs are dried first and then “cured” in glass jars or paper bags, or some variation of the two. While curing in glass jars, the jars are “burped” daily in the first week and every other day for the next…
I want to love the Tim Bag – I really do. The Trim Bag promises to quickly and efficiently trim cannabis nugs in a fraction of the time of hand trimming. Does the Trim Bag work as described? YES Does the Trim Bag destroy trichomes and tumble potency away? NOT AT ALL Why I don’t…
The Rositek rosin press is a compact and portable rosin press that’s small enough to carry one-handed and powerful enough to squish up to a half-ounce at a time. The 4-ton version is $399 directly from Rositek, code 420RT5 will save you 5%. I picked mine up directly from Amazon. Despite being significantly weaker than…
The Mars Hydro TS-3000 is a Full Spectrum 450W grow light. It’s $450 from Amazon and advertised to be powerful enough for a 4×4 or 5×5 grow tent, or even to be used commercially. I chose the TS-3000 as my first grow light when I started growing weed and my first grow was in a…
Solventless dabs are all the rage – and rightfully so. After the vape-cart scare of 2019, cannabis users nationwide have been growing more conscious of what goes into their lungs and how their cannabis concentrates are produced. Rosin Presses are a great way to produce solventless concentrates at home. No dangerous chemicals or crazy off-gassing…
It’s harvest time for my Creme de la Chem, which is one of the stinkiest plants I’ve grown. These autoflowering cannabis plants were germinated in the first week of January and they’re ready for harvest late March. This plant started out pretty hearty, despite at least one significant over-watering while in seedling stage. Things were…
When growing marijuana indoors in a grow tent, airflow, and air movement is incredibly important. The moving air mimics the wind and helps the plants grow stronger branches, better for holding heavy nugs. In my previous grow I opted to use a couple 6″ clip fans and a household tower fan in my grow tent…
The Rosinbomb Rocket is too small, but it’s certainly capable as long as you jump through the right hoops and stay within this tiny rosin press’s limitations. In this video I squish some rosin using my homegrown cannabis. There’s a shorter version of this video on youtube. Tips for getting maximum rosin yield Start with…
