How do I get started growing cannabis?

Our grow guide covers everything from germination to harvest. A quick overview of the key stages:

  • Germination: place seeds 5mm deep in moist soil at 26 degrees C.
  • Seedling stage: gentle light, minimal water, warm temperatures.
  • Vegetative stage: increase light (18/6 schedule for photoperiod), start feeding nutrients.
  • Flowering: switch to 12/12 light for photoperiod strains. Autoflowers do this on their own.
  • Harvest: when trichomes turn milky/amber.
  • Drying: hang plants in a dark, ventilated space at 18-21 degrees C, 45-55% humidity, for 7-10 days.
  • Curing: trim buds, store in airtight glass jars. Open daily for the first two weeks, then weekly for a month.
