Is it legal to grow cannabis at home? 420 Guide

As you may know, the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana across several states has enabled many consumers to become accustomed to purchasing cannabis from a dispensary. Even more intriguing though is the opportunity that legalization has created for adults and medical patients to cultivate cannabis in their own homes by using indoor grow tents.
While the laws, limitations and regulations are different for each state, almost every state with some form of legalized marijuana does allow home cultivation to some extent. It will depend on the local laws.
Congratulations, you’re interested in growing your own cannabis plants for the first time! But before you flex that green thumb of yours, understand that growing marijuana indoors presents a unique set of challenges for the new hobbyist, and the sheer volume of information available on the subject can be overwhelming.
In order to thrive and grow, every cannabis plant needs:
  1. Cannabis Grow Light — whether you’re using sunlight or grow lights, you must understand the light needs of a cannabis plant to get the best bud quality & yields.
  2. Growing Medium — the stuff your plants grow in; soil isn’t your only choice!
  3. Air — a well-ventilated space with good air exchange and a slight breeze is best.
  4. Temperature — A good rule of thumb for cannabis plants is if it feels too hot for you, it’s probably too hot for your plants. Just like humans, cannabis plants can die if exposed to extreme temps.
  5. Nutrients — you can buy pre-formulated nutrients that you just add to your water, or you can compost your own super soil so that it already includes all the nutrients you need.
  6. Water — like all plants and living creatures, cannabis needs water to survive and grow.
How Long Does Cannabis Take To Cure?
You can cure for as long as you like. Remembering that the psychotropic compounds drop a water molecule when properly cured and become more psychoactive. This takes at least six weeks when cured under ideal conditions. The longer the cure the smoother the result. Keep your jars in a dark cool place. THC breaks down into other cannabinoids over time when exposed to light.
If you are unsure about bud dryness sample your wares as they dry so you have a future reference. Dry cannabis doesn’t really feel completely dry because of the waxiness of the resins. You will develop the feel and skill quickly.
Enjoying your own well-grown cannabis is not difficult. Some attention and patience can reap stinky benefits even from the smallest of spaces.
Happy growing friends!

LED Quantum boards  are all the rage. It started with HLG, but now several budget brands have started offering quantum boards with Samsung chips and Meanwell drivers. Spider Farmer LED Grow Lights Energy Efficient These grow lights are more energy efficient than traditional LED grow lights. That’s partially due to the fact they don’t use cooling fans. Another reason is the LEDs they used in these designs are newer versions of diodes compared to grow lights that were designed years earlier but are still for sale today. Spider Farmer’s 2.7 micromoles per Joule is at the very high end of efficiency compared to most other grow lights that typically fall between 1.5 and 2.4 uMol/Joule. Features Uses 100 watts —  save about 50% on your electric bill over HID lights Equivalent to a 200 watt HID system —  but costs less to buy AND to operate Ideal spectrum for plants —  3000K and 5000K white light, plus 660 nm red and 760 nm IR; the perfect light for all stages of growth

How much rosin can you get from an ounce? 2020 Updated

If you’re considering reaping the returns of a rosin press, the math isn’t too hard. But how much money can you make pressing rosin? It depends on a few factors. If you’re a commercial grower though, the answer is a good one: “more money than you’re making right now.” Even sweeter, getting started can cost as little as a few pounds of flower. Rosin is a cannabis oil extract that utilises pressure and heat, instead of a solvent, in its creation. The result is a completely pure, easy to make, and fast to produce cannabis concentrate. The beauty of rosin is that anyone can safely make it irrespective of experience. All you need is some bud, a flat hair iron (hair straighteners), and some parchment paper. So if you like concentrates, there is no reason to not give it a go! How Much Rosin Will I Get? Let’s use the metric system to get a more precise answer. An ounce of cannabis weighs around 28g so you could expect to get between: “2.8g – 5.6g of rosin per ounce of cannabis” It’s
