Depending on where you live and how you set up, outdoor growing might be a possibility.
Indoor growing is an investment, however.
Self-contained and app-directed growing devices take a lot of the guesswork out of the process.
Building your own DIY grow kit can also become incredibly expensive.
Clones are cannabis plant cuttings with roots, taken from a mother plant that is usually grown from seed.
Some strains will flower automatically, while others will respond to the light cycles that you give them.
Vegetation station
For plants that autoflower, the vegetation stage is a set period of weeks.
Non-autoflower plants will vegetate as long as the light conditions allow.
Most plants need three to eight weeks to vegetate before creating starter buds that become big flower nuggets.
When the plant has five to seven nodes, you snip the top offwhats called topping.

Flushing is a pre-harvest job wherein your plant is only given plain water and no nutrients.
This plant diet lasts for at least a week to verify the nutrients are not present in the buds.
Dry and cure
Cut down your plant and remove any fan leaves present.
The initial cannabis drying round usually takes three to eight days.
Curing can take two to four weeks, depending on the strain and the conditions.
Leave any cured cannabis in those sealed jars in a dark place for up to 18 months.
