Thu Oct 13, 2005
By Max Yields
Growing cannabis can be one of the most rewarding endeavors anyone can undertake—a challenging and relaxing pastime with a sweet, potent payoff. But we all know the downside: Growing weed is illegal, and the consequences of getting caught practicing this ancient art can be devastating.

Fill small pots or seedling trays and thoroughly moisten. Check the pH—it should be 5.5-6—and adjust if necessary. Poke the eraser end of a pencil 1/2-inch into the growing medium. Drop a seed into the hole and cover loosely. Do not pack it down.
