There are many different sized grow lights, from the CFL light bulbs you already use in your house to bigger, more specialized grow lights that produce pounds of bud at a time.One of the most common mistakes made by new weed growers is to conduct spur-of-the-moment experiments and hurt or even kill their plants. Cannabis is a very hardy plant and can survive cold and heat well. Just like you or me though, it can get stressed and not function well in the extremes. Cannabis can freeze or boil to death.

Some people only cure their bud for 1-2 weeks total while others cure their bud for 30 days or more. Because you need to open the jar regularly, you can always sample some as it’s curing to get a feel for whether it’s done or not. There is no way to determine the gender of a plant initially, just by looking at the seeds, or even by looking at young plants.
