Meet the grower
Founder of a Pot for Pot · Grower in Chief · Host of the How to Grow video course
Joshua tried to germinate his first cannabis seed in high school, after joining one of the early public protests to decriminalize cannabis in the UK in 2000. He moved to the USA in 2010 and left university in Santa Cruz to grow medicinal cannabis full time. Since then he has grown hydroponically, aeroponically and in living soil, indoors, in greenhouses and in full sun, and has started both ancillary and plant-touching cannabis businesses, including the world's first smart electric trimming scissors. He founded a Pot for Pot in 2016 so anyone can grow their own weed at home, writes the grow guides on this site, hosts the free How to Grow video course and answers grower questions by email.
Grow guides and articles
Key takeaways For hobby growers, seeds are usually the better start: easy to find, sturdier plants with a taproot, and often higher yields. Clones are copies of a female mother plant, so they are always […]
Key takeaways Trichomes are the most reliable sign. Start harvesting once at least 30 to 50% look milky or cloudy; clear trichomes mean too early. Most indicas are ready about 8 weeks after flowering begins, […]
Key takeaways Slow is best: hang trimmed branches in a dark, airy room at 60-70°F and 45-55% humidity for about 14 days. Faster options exist, like paper bags in 6 to 7 days or a […]
The cannabis industry is constantly growing. With more states declaring cannabis legal, many people are experiencing the freedom of accessing and growing their own medicine. This means more jobs in an industry that serves those […]
Key takeaways Start small: grow one plant in soil at home and learn the plant before spending money on a big grow room. The usual path to master grower starts as a trimmer, then pruning, […]
Key takeaways Five easy strains for beginners: Blue Dream, Green Crack, GG4 (Gorilla Glue #4), Dutch Treat and Cinex. Blue Dream resists powdery mildew and root rot, two of the most common problems new growers […]
With many states passing cannabis legislation and lawmakers mulling over federally decriminalizing marijuana, more people than ever have a chance to get into the cannabis-growing game, both on a significant scale and a small, personal […]
Key takeaways Buds grow at the plant’s nodes, also called bud sites. Pre-flowers start forming there about 4 to 6 weeks into the plant’s life. Only female plants grow buds. Males grow pollen sacs, and […]
Key takeaways Decriminalization means personal use or possession of a set amount is a civil infraction with a fine, not a crime. Under decriminalization alone, producing and distributing marijuana is still illegal. Legalization removes criminal […]
If you are reading this page, we already have one thing in common: we think weed is awesome. You know what else is awesome? Video games. Short answer We played three popular weed-growing games […]
Key takeaways People use cannabis for two main reasons, fun and medical use, and the two often overlap. A 2018 National Institutes of Health report found 22 million adults had used marijuana in the past […]
Can you really be successful as a stoner? You might have been told otherwise by parents, your society, pot hating politicians, but these quotes from some of the most successful stoners of all time will […]
Key takeaways The 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act forced cannabis labels on medicines, and most states had criminalized marijuana by 1931. The 1937 Marijuana Tax Act nearly outlawed marijuana nationwide; the later Controlled Substances […]
Key takeaways For many adults 21+ where it is legal, trying cannabis can be a good fit, but today’s cannabis is more potent, so start small. You do not have to smoke. Edibles, tinctures, topicals […]
Key takeaways Weed paranoia is tied mainly to THC acting on the brain’s amygdala. High-CBD cannabis does not show the same effect. Dose matters. In a 2017 University of Chicago study of 42 adults, 7.5 […]
Key takeaways No one knows who smoked the first blunt. The first modern blunt was rolled and smoked in New York City in the 1980s. Hip-hop made blunts popular in the mid to late ’80s. […]
Key takeaways The post’s four night-time picks are MK Ultra, Blue Cheese, Granddaddy Purple and LA Confidential. All lean indica, the more relaxing type. Timing depends on the method: smoke or vape right before bed, […]
Key takeaways Many studies find cannabis less damaging to health than alcohol, but the long-term effects of marijuana are not yet fully known. Too much alcohol can cause poisoning and death. There are no documented […]
Key takeaways Research is still limited. There is not enough evidence to say cannabis helps everyone with period pain; most support is personal reports and history. Using cannabis for cramps is not new. Queen Victoria […]
Key takeaways Since January 1, 2021, adults 21 and older in Montana can legally possess, grow and use cannabis for recreation. Initiative 190 legalized recreational cannabis, and Constitutional Initiative 118 set the legal age […]
Key takeaways New Jersey does not allow home growing for adults or medical patients. Growing cannabis there is still a crime. Voters approved recreational marijuana on Election Day 2020, but home growing was not part […]
Key takeaways Look for accuracy first. A digital scale takes the guesswork out of weighing weed, and calibrating it makes it more accurate. A good scale costs about $10 to $50. Lab-grade scales with finer […]
Memes, in some form, have been around forever. They are just a type of joke, which, of course, has been occurring since humans started telling stories around campfires. Every generation has its own form of […]
