Recently I've been toying with the idea of growing bud for personal purposes, like making hash, weed butter, honey oil, and just having some good bud. It seems like a rewarding hobby that will end up saving me money in the long run, because lately I've been smoking a lot of weed. Looking around I've found multiple techniques and set-ups for growing. For matters of time, space, and ease of use, I've opted for the HTG Out of This World Grow Kit with the optional 7 Band 240 watt LED Grow Light, as opposed to the 3 Band 90 watt LED. From what I gather, I can use this for both vegation and flowering. I plan to grow 3 to 4 feminized auto-flowering plants. Again, for time, space, and ease. For soil, I was going to pick up the Fox Farm brand. As for nutrients I'm split between the cheaper Fox Farm or the supposedly vastly superior Iguana Juice for much more. This is my purposed set-up.
As for techniques to get the most out of my plants, I've seen a lot and have a lot of questions. Loli-Popping I think I have a good understanding of, but is it true that it should only be done during the veg cycle? I watched a video were a guy said chopping of branches that didn't quite grow to the potential of the others should be removed, as they would only produce "popcorn" buds. Super Cropping is another technique that I am interested in, but seems to hold the most potential for a fuck up. If there is a resource that could fully explain the process of super cropping, I'd be appreciative. Topping is a buzz word that I've been hearing, but have yet to get a definition of. Unless it's the technique of cutting the fan leaves from the canopy so the plant receives more light, and less is wasted on non-crucial areas of the plant.
This is all for personal use. I just want some fat, dank ass buds that I can smoke on till the next crop comes in. I feel if I can utilize my equipment effectively and learn the techniques properly, I will get exactly that which I am striving for. If you have any answers to the questions I asked, suggestions for improvement, or just general advice I'll consider you my best friend for life and I will send you one of my future off-spring in the mail.
