When you can't get online, it's more than just frustrating. It's a productivity killer.
Network connectivity problems are more than an inconvenience. They can take your entire business offline. Time wasted staring at a blinking modem waiting to get online.
When connectivity goes down, it's not just obvious how much time is wasted. You can't even easily research solutions. You find yourself jumping through troubleshooting loops trying to find out if the problem is your router, the ISP, or something else entirely.
Truthful Facts About Growing Marijuana Indoor – Time Factor, It Takes Longer Than You Think. This is the first in a series of articles I’m calling; Truthful Facts About Growing Pot Indoors.
I’ll be posting them over the next few weeks. I love to read your comments and answer questions. Please use the comment section after each page or article. Thanks!!
It’s a great idea; grow your own and save some money, you’ll know exactly what you have, you’ll know how it was grown and you will save some of your hard earned cash in exchange for a little labor.
The problem is how long it takes to get your first crop versus just running to the store (or finding the weed guy) and buying a bag of weed whenever you need it. The answer is to buy enough reefer to get you through the 147 days you’ll need before you can smoke your pot.
You can start your first grow from seeds or a female clone.
Seeds take from a couple of days to around 12 to sprout. Once they sprout and grow for a few weeks in a peat ring, they are ready to be transplanted into your large pot. I suggest 6 or 7 gallon pots but use whatever fits your grow area. Read this article about pot size.
Once they are transplanted, start the flowering cycle (switch your lights to 12 hours on and 12 hours off) to find out which plants are boys and which ones are girls.
It can take up to 15 days or so for the girls to show themselves. Once that happens, you can toss the male plants and switch the girls back to the vegetative light schedule you’re using.
Once you find your girls; they will have tiny wisps of white hairs and you’ll see tiny little buds starting to grow, boys will show little ball sacks, move the boys out and revert back to the vegetative cycle (GLR or 18 hours on 6 hours off), and let them to grow for another 50 days than they’ll be ready for flowering.
When plants revert they will grow a few odd shaped leafs through the flowers. They don’t hurt anything; you can snip them off or let them grow out.
Restart the flowering cycle by switching back to the 12 hours on 12 hours off lighting schedule.
Of course depending on strain, your flowers reach their full potential and size when the trichomes start turning amber in from 45 to 60 days or possibly longer.
NOTE: the time frames listed are approximate and are dependent on the strain you’re growing, the grow environment and your skills as an indoor gardener. For example; not adhering to a strict light cycle of 18 hours on and 6 hours off. For the best grow, you want the lights the same every day and you MUST refrain from disturbing your girls when the lights are off. Just let them be.
12 days to sprout
15 days as a seedling
10 days of lights on the flowering cycle to sex the plants
50 days vegetative cycle depending on your strain and environment
60 days in the flower cycle.
Total = 147 days for your harvest.
You’ll also need another 14 days to dry and cure your buds giving you a total of 161 days.
You can cheat a little and pick young small buds but before you know it you will have smoked the whole plant. A good way to dry fresh bud you want to sample is using a portable oil heater.

From these original 7 OG Kush seeds (1st photo below) I grew 49 plants after sexing them and taking clones from the females. Presently I have 4 plants near completion and I could have keep going by cloning but I grew tired of OG Kush and will be growing something different this winter.
NOTE: I grew Girl Scout Cookies Extreme and Gold Leaf. GSCE seeds are on sale right now.
Stay tuned for that. I’m going to try some hemp too! My plan; grow hemp and marijuana indoors and make my own CBD oil or at least set up a press that will be used to press the flowers under pressure and collect the I’m not sure what it’s called.
In this group, there were 17 plants growing nicely in my grow room as shown in the photos below.
I lived in a 100 year old house. The house was for sale for 3 years and finally somebody gave a cash offer. That meant no inspection but I had to vacate in 3 weeks or the deal was off.
I found a place to move to about 7 miles away and packed up.
The last thing I moved were my plants. There were a few problems that had to be fixed in the new house so I had to hide 17 plants for 2 weeks while contractors were in and out. It was a major pain, I couldn’t set up proper lights, my girls were suffering and I was afraid of them morphing so I decided to harvest after only 5 weeks of flowering.
This cost me dearly in yield and quality but surprisingly the weed was good.
Below is a gallery of photos from seed to harvest.
There was really nothing I could do because of the strangers coming in and out of the house. Luckily I kept the mother going in a closest and I was able to take 4 more clones so as soon as the new house was done I had 4 plants growing that will be ready in about 4 more weeks.
How To Change The Flowering Cycle Back To The Vegetative Stage or Cycle. Basically: Flower Light Cycle is 12 hours on and 12 hours off and the Veg Light Cycle is 18 hours on and 6 hours off.
A time consuming task but one that has to be done, is figuring out the males from the females when you’re growing from regular seed. We’ve been growing weed for over 40 years and still can’t tell a female from a male until they flower for a week or two.
IMO-growing from regular seed is better than using feminized or auto flowering seeds. Regular seed will give you a larger, more robust plant that you can easily clone. Check out this link to find out where I get my marijuana seeds.
Many growers can tell, or at least claim they can spot a girl from a boy and there are many articles and videos about it, but we can’t figure it out. So we’re stuck; when we grow from seed, we have to allow seedlings to grow for awhile in the vegetative cycle than start flowering them (switch from 18 hours of light to 12 hours of light) so we can figure out who’s who.
After you switch your lighting schedule to 12/12; to tell a male from a female, look for little balls (male plants) that start to form and get rid of those plants, (we do save one to pollinate 1 female for seeds). Sometimes the little balls start forming in a couple of days and sometimes it takes a week or two.
Once we have our girls (they have white wispy hairs/no little balls) figured out, we change the flowering light cycle back to the vegetative cycle. We start with 24 hours light for about 10 days then switch to the GLR.
You’ll notice weird looking single leafs growing up through the little buds. Don’t worry about them, just pick them off if they make you nervous or leave them.
After 10 days of 24 on, we change back to our normal veg lighting schedule, we use the GLR (Gas Light Routine) for the remaining time in the veg cycle (now you can see why clones are so much better to start with).
Even though the plants initially look a little weird, they grow out into normal looking plants in a short while. Once you have a group of female plants growing in the vegetative cycle, you can start taking clones when the lower branches get to be around 3″ long or so.
All in all it can take around 3 weeks to differentiate the boys from the girls so it makes a lot of sense to keep a mother plant growing so you can take female clones anytime you need them.
5 of the Best Magic Mushroom Strains for Beginners; Psilocybin, a remarkable compound found in magic mushrooms, is responsible for the extraordinary psychedelic experience. It gives the user otherwordly visuals that are not commonly seen, a sense of being one with their surrounding, and an uplifting sensation. These experiences can be why many people seek magic mushrooms in Ontario or anywhere in Canada.
If you are interested in seeking the magical effects of shrooms as a beginner, you need to find one that will suit your experience, and you’ll have to read more about what you need to do as a first-time user. Using Psilocybe cubensis is safe, but you must know what dose and strain will best work.
As mentioned earlier, the psychedelic experience is one of the reasons why people buy shrooms in Canada. However, a few users also take them because it offers an excellent way to alleviate mental health symptoms and behavioural disorders.
In a study, psilocybin is used to help patients suffering from depression and anxiety while facing terminal cancer. More than four years after getting the dose along with psychotherapy, cancer patients who were administered psilocybin reported decreases in anxiety, depression, hopelessness, demoralization, and death anxiety. However, it is not the only study that has shown the excellent effect of psilocybin in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Some studies exist on the relationship between psilocybin and its treatment with substance abuse like alcohol, nicotine, and cocaine. Furthermore, there are other ongoing research studies on how psilocybin can induce the growth of new neurons.
All the promising benefits of psilocybin and the psychedelic effects it induces can be some reasons people would like to give shrooms a try. If you are one of them, here is a list of the best strains you can use as a beginner.
Of all the existing Psilocybe cubensis, Golden Teacher is the most popular for beginners. It rises to fame in the late 1980s. Although its origins are unclear, its moderate potency became ideal for novice and expert users. It’s one of the most widespread varieties on the market. You can easily find them at online dispensaries.
They are large with broad golden crowns that grow on their sturdy stem as it matures. The golden brown colour of its cap was the source of its name. However, when dried, they look different from how they were described. The dried form is the best option for storing your mushrooms.
The name “Teacher” is given to this mushroom because of the psychedelic effects it provides. Taking them results in a profound experience that can give the user a new outlook on life.
Beginners might consider the Psilocybe cubensis from Cambodia. John W. Allen initially discovered them in the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia, hence the name.
It is less potent than well-known, powerful mushrooms like Liberty Cap. Hence, it makes it an ideal beginner’s strain. However, even regular users can use them to enjoy uplifting and increased energy. It is said not to produce strong visuals, which can be perfect for relaxation.
Since the 1990s, B+ has been the best-selling P. cubensis in the market. It has a higher-than-average potency that you can experience, but beginners can enjoy them in a lower dose. It is supposed to be a very adaptable cubensis; if you set an intention, it will gladly follow and assist you in creating the ideal frame of mind.
B+ is believed to be genetically produced from the potent Flying Saucer mushroom and a Psilocybe cubensis.
When used in high doses, it is said to have potent physical and spatial effects followed by noticeable warping of balance. However, it can induce a pleasant psychedelic high in modest doses, although using this requires staying in.
Beginners can take them in small or lower doses since they won’t offer an extreme psychedelic experience. Instead, it has a calming effect on the body and mind.
A stimulating cubensis hybrid known as the Z Strain or Z Cube is likely to represent a genetic isolate of the Golden Teacher. This uplifting strain resonates with energy, clarity, attention, and creativity; indeed, you can feel concentrated and invigorated. It is ideal for enhancing the mind, body, and well-being.
Due to all these factors, it is one of the most popular and innovative magic mushroom hybrids available today. You can easily find them in online dispensaries to deliver to your doorstep.
You’ll get a stabilizing yet energizing boost and moderate to high potency that provides an all-encompassing physical sensation that makes them perfect for beginners and an excellent choice for microdosing. It can also be used by psychonauts looking for a refreshing experience.
There are different strains and potencies available in the market. It is always best to choose one with low to mild strength as a beginner. However, the essential consideration is the amount you ingest because even if the P. cubensis is considered to have moderate psilocybin content when taken in high dosage, it may produce intense visuals that can cause a beginner to be afraid of the experience. Therefore, remember to start low and slow when trying them.
Magic mushrooms can be taken safely in low to moderate dosages for beginners to get the hang of it. With the cubensis mentioned above, first-time users will enjoy a mellow and smooth psychedelic trip. They can be introduced into the psychedelic world without the overwhelming experience of potent strains.
