This makes your garden a recycling center, and saves you tons of money. 2-liter soda bottles work great, but are not square.  13 will fit […]

Most growers report that a hydroponic system will grow hemp plants faster than a soil medium, given the same genetics and environmental conditions. This may be due to closer attention and more control of nutrients, and more access to oxygen. The hemp plants can breath easier, and therefor, take less time to grow. One report […]

The the plant will be induced to fruit or flower with dark cycles of 11-13 hours that simulate the oncoming winter in the fall as the days grow shorter. As a consequence, it works out well indoors to have two separate areas; one that is used for the initial vegetative state and one that is […]

Once sprouted, the plant starts vegetative growth. This means the plant will be photosynthesizing as much as possible to grow tall and start many grow tips at each pair of leaves. A grow tip is the part that can be cloned or propagated asexually. They are located at the top of the plant, and every […]

Informal tests and experience show these peat cubes do not work well and stunt the hemp plants growth. Planting in vermiculite gives the seedling so much oxygen, and […]
