Before I go much further into planting and growing the marijuana plants, I want to talk a little about grow mediums and your options. I have seen many different setups, the most common tend to either be hydroponic setups or soil setups. I prefer simple natural soil for my plants. There is also a setup called Airoponics, but I know very little about it. Maybe I will post an article in the future about it. I will give you some info on both hydro and soil grows and you can pick your favorite.

Hydro- The most common material used for hydroponic setups is rockwool(in my experience). Some others are hydroton, coco coir, and straight perlite. There are many options with Hydro. Hydro materials are basically just a material to hold the roots and plant steady in. The nutrients and water are provided separately. Some people claim it makes the weed more potent if grown hydro.


Soil- This is my preferred method, its easy when you are new, not growing many plants, and on a budget. Just get some pots, to determine the size pot, figure 1 gallon for every foot of growth you want it to have. Get some soil, some say only organic expensive soil, I say get some miracle grow, add some perlite to help it drain and make sure it has a stable medium ph. I had great results with a bag of miracle grow: moisture control and i didn't even check the ph. Most people start in a smaller container, then transplant to the big one. I usually just start them in their final container. With the soil method, make sure that you let the soil get almost dry before watering again, a soil moisture meter from walmart would be very helpful. The wait between waterins makes the roots grow and expand correctly.

Both work great, just remember, potency is all about the genetics!
