Not all of us have deep pockets and one of the reasons we want to grow our own cannabis is because we can’t afford to buy It, assuming of course, you live somewhere it is legal to buy cannabis!

So, here are some helpful tips to reduce your growing costs.

First, think quality and not quantity where seeds are concerned. Only buy from a reputable source with a good reputation. We’d recommend London Seed Centre for the finest genetics.

Choose an autoflowering strain – they produce great yields and are ideal for the novice grower.

Once you have established cannabis plants, rather than buying new seeds, you can consider growing clones instead, though this is only cost effective when growing multiple plants.

Re-use and recycle. Plastic pots can last for years if properly looked after. Soil can be re-used providing you mix in some new soil each time and fertilise it well.

Obviously, you’ll keep using the same tools – knives, pruning shears, gloves, etc. However, remember to keep them clean and disinfected from time to time to avoid spreading disease.

Now, fertiliser costs money, so why not consider composting your household waste instead – it doesn’t cost much to buy a bin and a few composting worms, and your set for years!

You don’t need to fork out a small fortune on a small grow tent when a closet or cupboard in your home will work just as well. All you need to do is line it with a reflective material to maximise the efficiency of your lights.

When it comes to lights, investing in an LED panel may cost you money today, but it will save you a great deal on electricity costs, and these panels will last for up to 10,000 hours!

Your ‘grow tent’ or cupboard will also need to be well ventilated, but don’t buy a system that can ventilate a ballroom when all you have is a two-cubic metre cupboard! Get an extractor fan with a cubic metre rating and multiply the size of volume cupboard or tent by 70 to get the perfect extractor.

The air needs to be changed around 70 times per hour, so a two-square-metre cupboard will require a ventilator with a 140 litres per hour rating, and remember to get a carbon filter to stop the smell invading your home!

So, there you have it, and while first time around a little expense will be involved, next year your plants can be grown with virtually no additional expenditure!

There are two approaches you can take to growing cannabis from seed.

There’s the hit-and-hope method where you can arm yourself with the minimum amount of information and hope for the best.

Then there is what we call the Chelsea Flower Show approach, where you aim, from the very get go, to produce the very best plants possible, using every known trick in the book.

If we created a video for the latter approach, not only would you still be here watching it this time next year, but we’d also have gone bankrupt with the cost of producing it.

There’s so much to know about cannabis plants and how to grow them you could create a university degree course about it all.

So, what we decided to do was create a short video focusing on what we believe to be the most helpful tips on growing cannabis indoors, and these can act as a jumping off point for those of you who want to do more research but are not sure what you should be researching.

Lets begin with lighting:

While many amateur and experienced growers alike turn to LED lights to help their plants grow, know that not all LED lights are the same. Cannabis grows best under a specific light spectrum, so buy purpose-made LED lights from proven manufacturers for cannabis. LED lights are great for keeping heat and running costs to a minimum!

The next tip is to choose the right time to switch to a 12-hour light cycle to encourage flowering and budding – do this when the plant reaches half the height you want your final plant to reach.

Force extra bud sites instead of just growing one main bud. You can do this by either low-stress training, or topping. Check out our previous videos for more on that!

With your buds, try and create what is called a table – in other words, try and get all your buds to grow at the same distance from the light source at a sweet spot distance so they all grow to their maximum potential.

Supercropping is a great way to maximise yield and also to create a table-top effect by bending branches to ninety degrees, but not breaking them in half as you do so!

Remove male plants as early as you can spot them. While male plants are lousy for cannabis production, the pollen from them causes buds to start seeding, so unless you want seeds, get rid of them!

Don’t harvest your buds too early. They will increase substantially in size two or three weeks before harvest. Be patient!!!

Get yourself some good garden tools like rope ratchets, plant yo-yos, zip ties, twist ties, a thermometer and hygrometer with a probe or remote sensor.

Temperature and humidity are crucial for indoor plant growth, so make sure you get this right throughout all stages of the growth cycle, and remember if you create the perfect environment, you’re 75% of the way to growing perfect cannabis!

You could also do with getting a garden gnome. While this won’t directly help your plants grow, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with them, and you’ll need someone to talk to as talking to plants is just plain daft!

Last, but not least, it’s vital you learn how to deal with problems, as the less you know at the onset, the greater the chances things will go wrong.

Make sure you check your plants religiously – by that we don’t just mean on Sundays – and learn to both spot potential problems and how to deal with them before a small problem becomes a catastrophe.

By all means share any of your own tried-and-tested tips in the comments section below, there are always new things to learn and sharing information is really appreciated by everyone.

Here we want to concentrate on the importance of light itself.

As with water, all plants need light to grow. They use light during the process of photosynthesis, to metabolize water and carbon dioxide in the air, to help them grow.

With cannabis plants, as a replication of nature, you should have a period during the day when the lights are on, and a period at nighttime when there is darkness.

Believe it or not, plants also need to rest and ‘have a nap’ as they can’t grow 24 hours a day, they just become worn out and struggle.

However, where cannabis plants are concerned, they also respond better to certain of the seven spectrums that make up light – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, depending on the growth stage.

Photosynthesis is optimum when using red light and the same spectrum which for which flowering can thrive, while ultimately green light is optimum for the weeks before flowering.

Blue light encourages steady growth, resulting in a strong stem and healthy leaves. If you use red light too soon, the plant will become straggly and unwieldy, a bit like having your own triffid!

Once your plants have entered the vegetative stage, ideally you want to provide a minimum of 250 watts of light per square metre, but 1000 watts is ideal.

Where you need to be careful is that some lights can generate considerable heat to produce 1000 wats of light, so LED lights could be a good choice.

Additionally, certain LED light setups allow you to regulate the amount of red, blue and green light.
So, once you want to encourage flowering, switching to blue light, then finally red light will get the best results.

Additionally, having previously used 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness, this should be staged down to 12 hours of each, at which point bud production will be at its optimum.

Lets us know which colour spectrum’s you use in the comment section below.

It can be so easy to lose focus on the fact that you can successfully grow cannabis without a host of chemicals and solutions.

Better still, growing cannabis organically is better for the environment, so you can go green, just like your cannabis plants.

When you think about it, cannabis plants grow outdoors, in the wild, in all sorts of environments, without any help from us, or added chemicals. It therefore makes sense that you can do the same.

However, one of the joys of growing cannabis plants, apart from enjoying the end results, is growing seriously productive plants that have great yields.

Those yields do depend, very heavily, on getting everything right when it comes to meeting the plants’ needs.

First, there is the soil itself. Natural soil contains bacteria, fungi, nematodes, protozoa and worms, all of which help to break down nutrients, making them easier for plant roots to absorb.

If you’ve got worms in your soil, they are great for helping nutrients to work their way throughout all the soil, while also ensuring it remains well aerated.

With those in place, you are then in a position to use different forms of fertiliser.

Cannabis plants require three macronutrients.

First there is nitrogen, which you can deliver in the form of seaweed or manure.

Potassium can be provided with wood ash or kelp meal, while phosphorous can be found in manure, bone meal and rock phosphate.

Then you have micronutrients such as boron, found in compost and calcium in eggshells.

Magnesium can be found in organic compost, manganese in seaweed, sulphur in manure and zinc in kelp.

You can easily make your own super-concentrated organic fertiliser to enable swifter uptake of nutrients at times when they are most needed.

Finally, there is that critical pH balance that is all important where healthy cannabis plants are concerned. To increase acidity, vinegar or lemon juice work perfectly, while baking soda can be used to reduce acidity.

Composting is a must for the organic grower, so to get the right compost, work on a 25% green and 75% brown mix, green being kitchen waste and grass cuttings, while brown stands for cardboard, leaves, straw and woodchips.

You can even go one step further and in a composter, include composting worms with kitchen waste and use the castings for your soil, while any liquid run-off can also be added to boost the microbial content of the soil.

It makes sense to go bio with your cannabis plants, as supermarket shelves are stacked with bio products, so they must be reasonably good for you!

But what about you, let us know what you use in the comment section below!
