It takes a village to start growing cannabis at home
The Homegrown Cannabis Company doesn’t just provide resources – it cultivates the community.
So you’ve made the decision to grow cannabis. Congratulations on your new adventure! Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just want to save some cash on buds, it is worth it and deepens your relationship with the plant.
But unlike a less controversial crop – say, pumpkin – it’s difficult to just go to the local nursery or join a personal gardening group. The best way to learn is to do it, but it gets a little trickier if you can’t just stop by a neighbor’s house and ask if they have any experience fighting powdery mildew in a bushy indica plant . The best course of action is to join a cannabis-specific community.
Homegrown Cannabis Co. has everything a home grower needs to get started: Not just seeds and starter kits, but detailed resources for different strains and life stages of your plants. Most importantly, there is a support network of friendly home growers that you can share tips, tricks, and awards with on the community forum. There is no more comprehensive cannabis grow shop than Homegrown.

Started
The first step on your growing journey is to buy some seeds. As always, Kushman has you covered – here are a few strains he recommends for beginners.
Sour Cookies feminized packs a euphoric high with creativity and mood-lifting powers. Made from a cross of GSC x Sour Diesel, Sour Cookies brings its legendary genetics to the bank for a powerful combination of therapeutic relaxation and energizing effects. Store these seeds indoors at a temperature of around 70 to 79 ° C and expect a nice yield for your endeavors.
Lowryder autoflower is known as the first true autoflowering cannabis. But that’s not the only reason you should try this popular strain: the citrus-like bud offers a strong but clear high and is a beginner’s dream. Lowryder is a sturdy plant that doesn’t rely on light cycles to bloom and can thrive almost anywhere – you really can’t go wrong.
Red Bruce feminized has some pretty standout genetics, so it’s no surprise this frosty bud is a grower favorite. A cross of Bruce Banner x White Russian, Red Bruce is big in fragrance and delivers a fast beating, long lasting head and body high. Play your cards right as you grow and you could get 1.31 to 1.96 ounces per square foot in yield after eight to ten weeks of flowering.
Sweet Tooth Autoflower is a three year old, consecutive Cannabis Cup winner, so it’s safe to say that you should consider adding this champion to your grow. You need to pay her some attention: while Sweet Tooth is relatively easy to grow, her fast growth rate makes her less forgiving. Show him some love, however, and you will be rewarded with exceptional taste and scent, as well as a cerebral high that can relieve stress and invigorate your senses.
Exchange with other newcomers to cultivation
The best place to start building your support network is on Homegrown’s beginner forum.
Recent problems include identifying a male or female plant, whether to use fabric pots or plastic buckets, or what to do with leaf debris. Then there is the most easily attributable question: “What is going on?”
These newbies to cannabis cultivation are also eager to show off their first harvests with other people on the same trip – and other people who are just starting out know what a big deal that first harvest is.
Indoor and outdoor troubleshooting is growing
Indoor and outdoor cannabis cultivation are completely different animals, each with their own specific advantages and disadvantages. Not all wisdom will be the same when troubleshooting a grow or presenting your setup, and even the answers to identical questions may be different for both. For this reason, Homegrown has a forum for everyone.
Right now, indoor growers are discussing light upgrades and timing, dehumidifiers, the use of mirrors, and how to bring an outdoor grow inside – along with posting their progress so others in the group can see how they are progressing.

The outdoor growers discuss all kinds of topics unique to their growing environment, such as animal deterrence, greenhouse models and caterpillars.
Hydroponics and aquaponics
Both hydroponics and aquaponics are incredibly efficient and controlled ways to grow cannabis – and the people who use them love them. Hydroponics nerds can talk to their hearts’ content about nutrient formulas, deep water culture and osmosis in their special forum. The even bigger nerds on the Aquaponics forum – a bit like hydroponics but with fish – talk about turtles.
