Question 1

Is it legal to grow marijuana?

Accepted Answer

It is a case-to-case scenario. Growing weed is legal across many states in the US. However, the quantity of weed that you can grow differs from state to state. Some states allow consumption of marijuana for medical purposes only while there are other states which also allow recreational smoking. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with all the laws before you start getting into growing weed!rn

Question 2

Why does marijuana smell so much?

Accepted Answer

The smell of marijuana is rather strong and pungent and this is because of something called ‘terpenes’. These are a chemical compound present in marijuana plants which begin to kick-in at around the late-vegetative stage. Terpenes are the primary reason for the smell and generally, it is considered that the stronger the smell, the more potent the high will be. Terpenes have another major role to play - the smell repels away insects and pests who might otherwise affect the plants adversely.

Question 3

Can I accidentally get high while growing weed?

Accepted Answer

No! You cannot ‘accidentally’ get high unless you smoke or eat marijuana (in any form).rn

Question 4

Why is a grow light important?

Accepted Answer

A grow light is important because when you are growing weed indoors, there’s no access to sunlight the way it would be if you were to grow your plant outdoors. Hence, grow lights essentially act as a replacement to the natural light of the sun. Grow lights provide all the different wavelengths that a plant needs for its growth and they also provide the warmth that plants need. Depending on how much light the plants get, their growth is also affected and when light hours are reduced, the plant can be manually made to enter the flowering stage! Hence, grow light has quite an important role to play for growers who grow their weed indoors.rn

Question 5

Which is the better way of growing marijuana: indoors or outdoors?

Accepted Answer

It depends on a case to case scenario but most growers have, of late, begun to grow their weed indoors because it gives them a much greater amount of control over their produce as compared to growing outdoors where most of it depends on the forces of nature!
