Can You Really Grow Weed At Home?
Although people have come to realize that learning to grow
weed at home is fairly easy, many do not understand that they can grow
the ultimate, which is hydro weed. Not only will the plants grow
faster in a hydroponics system, but there isn’t any down time for
transplant shock when the plant begins to mature. Try an
interesting experiment. Use the hydro method for one plant and
use the traditional soil planting for the other. Don’t be
surprised if the plant in the soil takes nearly twice as long to
mature! Most times this is because as the plant matures it
becomes root-bound which slows down the growth of the plant.
The easiest systems of hydroponics are the wick system and the
reservoir systems. Although there really isn’t any real ‘system’
such as a pump and drain, the basic premise is that the water will wick
to where you need it to go. Of course, to be done correctly,
holes need to be cut in the pots after the wicks are cut and placed
inside. Don’t forget, to grow properly, there has to be a spacer
at the bottom to keep the plants above the reservoir of water below the
plant.
The reservoir system to grow hydro weed is less work than the wick
system and a lot easier to set up and maintain. Place in a kitty
litter size tray that has sides of at least 4” high, the plant
containers. Fill each individual container 1/3 up from the
bottom with clay beads. Add a hydroponics mix of
vermiculite-perlite peat moss up to the top. Now place each
container in the tray. Pour hydroponics nutrient water solution
into the tray so that ¼ of the container is immersed in water.
In order to get more budding in less time, these methods are best used
in a greenhouse or indoors. When using the hydro method, you can water
your plants daily which will cause them to grow even faster. Both
of the above methods are made to hold moisture and drain much better
than soil planting so over-watering problems that affected your plants
in the past, is just that, in the past. With the wick and
reservoir passive methods, there is no need to worry about mineral
buildup in the soil or lack of root oxygen.
Lastly, because of the nature of this method, you can use smaller
containers than if you were growing in soil. With hydroponics, a
plant can grow in a ¾ gallon pot and it will not need to be
repotted. That plant can go from seed to maturity in that same
container. That is impossible when your plant is in soil because
as it matures, it gets root-bound. Because hydro
weed gets its
nutrients through the nutrient water and the medium used allows the
oxygen to be distributed throughout the entire plant, a plant becoming
root-bound is very rare.
