Disclaimer: This guide is for people who can legally grow Cannabis in their state. They either live in a legal state or have a valid state Medical Marijuana Card.

If you are a newbie and you want the easiest foolproof way to grow a great Cannabis plant, here are a few foolproof easy steps.

  1. Get some seeds.
    Genetics are everything. You can grow a great plant with good genetics without having to do much, or if you have seeds with crappy genetics and it will turn out crappy no matter what you do.

**Beginners may want to try Autoflowering seeds as those don't need light manipulation to flower.
Otherwise you need a 12/12 light cycle for photoperiod strains to flower

**Beginners should consider feminized seeds. Otherwise you may get a male plant which you will have to seperate from a female if you want seedless buds.

Here are some places you can get reputable seeds

2)Get your Supplies

The easiest and healthiest way to grow a plant for a beginner is to use Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil in a 5 gallon fabric pot.

I have tried many types of soil. Fox farms is a little more expensive, but its worth it. Pay the extra $10 and get yourself a nice trouble free plant. If you cheap out and go with other soils you will need to add nutrients. Just trust me and go with the ocean forest soil. You will be glad you did.

These you can easily get on https://www.amazon.com/

3)Light

If you are growing Outdoors, you have natural light and starting in May you can plant your seeds and have a great crop.
If you live someplace like Florida or California you can probably grow year round
If you are not growing outdoors you will need some lights.
Strong CFL lights will do the trick and won't cost you a lot.

Here's a link to how you can set up a cheap CFL setup

4)Germinate your seeds
The easiest way to germinate is to place a seed about 1/2 inch in the soil (not too deep)
make sure your soil is moist
in 3-5 days your seed should popcannabis-seedling-just-emerging-shell.jpg

5)DON'T OVER WATER!!!!!!
I can't stress this enough. Newbies will kill plants by over watering. When your plant is just a seedling use a plastic water bottle and water it with just a little water. Once it gets bigger, you can water it . Check if it needs water by sticking your finger in the soil. If it's moist don't water until its dry.

6)Light Cycles:
If you buy an autoflowering seed you don't need to worry it will flower automatically. If you buy a photoperiod plant you will need to switch lighting to 12/12 in order to flower. (12 on 12 dark)

That's pretty much it. The fox farms soil in a 5 gallon pot will be enough to get a good 1 -2 ounce plant.
Again this is a newbie guide.

Good seeds in good soil with light.

Great tips. Thanks!

Nice tutorial , everything a beginner needs.
And indeed DONT over water, and a tip from a fellow grower = keep relative humiditie around 50/60% except for the last few weeks of flowering period ( in case of mold)

Thank you!
