Marijuana Grow Basics book

Marijuana Grow Basics

by Jorge Cervantes

The Easy Guide for Cannabis Aficionados

The basics necessary to grow indoors are easy. Find a secure location, plant good seeds or clones, create the proper climate – air, water, nutrients, drainage, and growing medium – and start growing. Seeds soon turn into seedlings, and then put on leafy vegetative growth. They show male or female pre-flowers at the end of the vegetative growth stage.

Once flowering is induced, your marijuana plants will be ready to harvest in about two months. Read on and fill your mind with images to learn all the details!
