Growing cannabis doesn’t need to be complicated.
When I first started growing weed (over 7 years ago now) I didn’t follow any guides.
I borrowed a used HPD grow light from one of my friends, bought some seeds, a fabric pot, and started growing my first plant in the spare room of my tiny flat.
I’d heard that weed was a tough plant and would grow in almost any environment.
That’s why it’s called “weed” right?
How did it go? well, OK actually…
I followed the instructions on the seed pack, my plant grew, flowered and I harvested it.
I was pretty happy with myself.
However, it wasn’t until I showed my friend my harvest that I realized just how many mistakes I made.
My harvest was pathetic. Skinny buds with lots of air holes. And barely any visible crystals at all.
Here are just a few of the mistakes that led to my hay like buds:
- My plant didn’t get enough light (I hung my light too high)
- I’d drowned my plant by overwatering it
- I harvested way too early
- I didn’t use any nutrients at all
- I didn’t use a grow tent
Why Cannabis Grow Guides Are Important
Grow guides are the difference between a poor yield and a great yield.
When you start growing cannabis, you will quickly realise that seemingly small things can greatly affect your final yield.
In my case, I made lots of small mistakes, and it led to a really poor yield. If I had followed a good marijuana grow guide, and learned more about each step, I could have easily doubled my yield. My buds would have been a lot stronger too, covered in nice glistening crystals.
If you’re serious about growing cannabis and want to get the best return on your investment, find a good grow guide and follow it closely.
Don’t make the same mistakes I did 🙂
Why Use Our Guides?
One of the things I found most frustrating about the guides I read, was that they were full of complicated jargon and acronyms.
I’d be told to track PPM, NPK, pH, and to stick to an 18/6 cycle, without the author telling me what the fuck these things actually were.
I’m the kind of person that needs to read IKEA instructions 6 times before I understand how to build a simple coffee stand, so I need to use grow guides that walk me step by step through the process in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
Our grow guides are aimed for people like me, and are therefore perfect for people who are just starting out growing, and are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the overly technical language used in the cannabis community.
