I keep a good supply of seeds on hand at all times. I know several home growers that are so far out in the boonies that they can’t get internet access. I’m going to be reviewing different Seed Banks. Each review will take a while. Because I go through the entire process. From purchasing the seeds, planting, growing, and harvest before I can honestly review the seeds bank I get the seeds from. For the past three years I’ve been buying seeds from different seed banks, but I’ve narrowed the seed banks I purchase from down to three different seed banks. This is mostly due to two factors. The quality of the seeds and the seed banks customer service.

I’m primarily an indoor grower. I grow indoors because it gives me more control over the entire process. I have friends that primarily grow outdoors. I’ve been amazed at the different results gotten from the sames seeds, grown in two different environments. The below photo is from my friend’s crop grown in an outdoor green house using the the same field he has a fairly large garden in. The photo was taken after a few days over four weeks of growth. About two weeks after the photo was taken my friend had to remove the roof of his green house, the plants got so big. As of this post the plants are over seven feet high.

I prefer using auto-flowering seeds. When I want to try a new strain I prefer to find auto-flowering seeds and when I can I’ll use the feminized seeds. I prefer auto-flowering because the grow cycle is pretty easy to manage. I’ve gotten the growth cycle down to where I plant between two to four new seeds every six weeks. I’ve been testing different strains and so far the easiest to grow, that produces the best results is the Gold Leaf. I’ve been getting some great end results with this strain. The below four photos are from the same Gold Leaf plant. The first photo was taken when the plant was still in the grow tent. The plant only got about a foot high, but it was almost like one big bud. The second photo was take right after I took it out of the tent to harvest. The third photo shows all the buds. And the last photo shows the container I have the buds in. It’s a gallon air-tight container that blocks out the light. Light degrades the THC levels. The container is full of buds curing.

I’ve been buying seeds from I Love Growing Marijuana for a few years. I made a purchase of 20 seeds one time. Seventeen out of twenty seeds did not sprout. I contacted their customer support and they not only replaced the seeds, but they gave me a nice voucher for my next purchase. Not only did they do that, but they got the replacement seeds to me within a week. I’ve made several hundred dollars in purchases from them and that one order was the only time I had an issue with the seeds. They also guarantee that the seeds will sprout. Their selection of different strains isn’t as large as it is from the other two seed banks I purchase from, but the seeds they sell are usually excellent.

I generally have at least one Gold Leaf plant growing all the time. I have two more that just started the flowering stage.

As I have said before do as much research and reading as possible before you star growing marijuana. I started a little over a year ago. I grew a lot in the mid 1970s when I lived in the southern California. Back then we put the stems, seeds, leaves, and the flowers in the bags and smoked it. Things have really changed since then. I moved from California to the east coast in 1977. I really didn’t do much if any growing since I moved back until a little over a year ago. I only started growing again because the laws have changed so much. I might add not only have the laws changed, but the quality of the marijuana that is being grown now has changed.

My first plant produced over a 1/4 lb. of buds on my first try. my first try regrowing after several decades. Soon marijuana will be legal not only across the United Stated, but throughout the entire planet. Many of the leaders in governments around the globe are becoming aware of the positive medical benefits of Marijuana. I was able to get over a 1/4 lb. form one plant because I did as much research as possible before I got back into growing.

The plants I’m growing now are producing much bigger yields. They are producing bigger yields with higher quality because I have continued to educate myself. I own a copy of The Cannabis Grow Bible (3rd Edition). It is really full of a lot of thing I never knew about marijuana. I’ve learned how to make Hash and oil extracts, just from studying and applying what I’ve learned from the book.

You can also learn a lot from fellow growers. Join our form and ask any questions you have about growing. If I don’t know the answers someone in the forum will.

My post are a little out of order, but since it’s close to harvest time for those that have plants growing outdoors. I thought I would post this handy guide about when to harvest your buds. I found this real handy chart that explains everything very precise in a few photos.

If you’re growing indoors you may be harvesting at any given time. Growing indoors gives you almost total control over the growing environment. No matter when you harvest your plants the above chart will come in handy!

Depending on what type of harvest you want you’ll have to pay close attention to the trichomes. I was given good advice by a fellow grower on another growing web site. Get a Jewelers Loop. This way you can get a very close look at the trichomes and know just about exactly when you should harvest your crop. I posted a very good inexpensive one below. It’s actually the one I have and it works very well. If you click on the link you’ll have options for different Jewelers Loops at different prices. A Jewelers Lop is a very inexpensive piece of equipment, but can be extremely valuable to you around harvest time.

I do my best to keep each post as succinct as possible. To grow marijuana plants it’s an absolute must to know the difference between male and female plants. You DO NOT want male plants. What you want is the flower (buds) of the female plant. So how do you tell the difference between a male and female plant? Like most (not all) other organisms males have the balls when growing. Females will have white (for the most part) hairs. To get a better idea of how to tell the difference see the below photos.

You’ll generally be able to tell the sex of your plants between the third and fourth week. If your plants form the balls get rid of them unless you want seeds or are cross pollinating your plants. To guarantee female plants it’s best to purchase seeds from a reputable seed bank. One of the best places to buy feminized or auto-flowering seeds online is I Love Growing Marijuana.
