create a garden of plants that will last for decades through cloning
from a single female mother plant. Cloning is discussed in detail in a
later chapter
For the new grower it is advised that you buy 10 seeds and
only germinate 3 the first time followed by another 3 the following
week followed by the last 4 in two weeks after that. This will allow you
some degree of experimentation as you may fail on your first attempt
to germinate the seeds because of lack of any previous cannabis
growing experience.
For people who have germinated seeds once before in the
past, it is advised that you germinate 5 followed by another 5 the next
week. If you are a long time grower with a good amount of growing
experience then you can germinate all 10 in one go. Again you do not
have to do it this way. It just helps reduce the risk of failing all the
seeds because of bad germination methods.
During your plants growth you may decide that you want to
pollinate ONLY ONE of your females. This means that you need to
have two grow areas. One for growing all your female plants and
another for growing a single or more females mixed in with some
males. As we said before this depends on how much grow space you
have and how much money you want to spend. It is important that
your pollination room is kept well away from your female grow room.
Pollen can travel by air and it is advised that the two areas are kept
well apart. Also bees and other insects can spread pollen. Not only that
but you can too. Always wash your hands and face after handling a
male plant. This saves problems of pollen from a male plant getting
