Growing the plants.
ENVIRONMENT:
You can raise a plant almoust anywhere. The space has to be vacuumed and cleaned, to keep the plants healthy and free of disease. To reflect the light, the walls and ceiling should be painted white, or just be covered with a white plastic sheeting.
The ideal temperature is between 20-25 degrees Celcius and humidity 50%-80%.
A 400 watt high-pressure sodium vapor lamp will do the job perfectly. These lamps can explode, when handled incorrectly, so do not use with dirty or greasy hands.
WATER:
Marijuana needs a lot of water when growing. The ideal pH value of the water is 6.3 - 6.9. Most rain water have a normal pH value, but tap water will also do the job.
SOIL:
A perfect mix:
60% Potting Soil,
15% Perlite,
10% Building Sand,
10% Worm Castings,
5% Pre-Mix.
The soil should always be moist, but not too much, cause you could end up sufficating the roots.
SEEDS:
Good gray or brown colour seeds should be used. Wrap some seeds in a moistend handkerchief, then wrap it again in a plastic bag, to prevent any moisture from getting out. In 2 to 3 days, the seeds should have sprouted and can go into the first pot, using the soil-mix.
The sprout should then be put, root down, 5mm below the surface, into a 2cm deep hole. Then spray it with water.
GENERAL:
After 2 weeks, transfer the plants into bigger pots.
At that point, you should force the plants to flower, simply by cutting the light down, to 12 hours a day. The temperature remains the same. Then water the plants every 2 or 3 days.
The male and female plants should be seperated.
The male has little sacks, that look like tiny balls, at the ends of the branches.
The female has little hairs at the end of the branches.
