Feminized cannabis seeds are awesome for if you want to take the gambling out of growing your own pot. The particular feminized cannabis strain I’ve selected is this new one from Nirvana Shop, Kaya.

Kaya is a great weed plant for if you don’t want a whole lot of hassle, or if you’re new to indoor growing.  That being said, Kaya makes a good outdoor plant as well.  As the guys at Nirvana Shop say, this is a good one for just leaving out in the woods and coming back for it 9 months later.

Kaya has a strong earthy smell, and a very well rounded cannabis strain.  This weed plant produces quite a big bud with dark orange hairs.  But the best part about Kaya is how hardy this strain is.  It can handle a few bugs and is also less sensitive to changes in its environment than most other cannabis sativa varieties.

If this is your first time trying to grow your own pot, I would definitely recommend picking up 5 or 10 seeds of a plant like Kaya.  The fact that these seeds are feminized means that you won’t have to throw a few away when they turn out to be males. Every Kaya seed is guaranteed to germinate and produce night fat weed buds.

At Nirvana Shop you can get hold of 5 or 10 feminized Khaya seeds.  If you’re planting outdoors in the woods I’d suggest getting 10 seeds.  If you have a really small grow room maybe only get 5, cos these ladies can get pretty big!

It’s a question that leads many stoners to these pages: what do I do if my marijuana plant has bugs? It’s a tricky one, because the yield and THC content of your plants are very sensitive to chemical balances. Bugs change this balance, but on the other hand so do chemicals to kill bugs.

The obvious answer is: go organic. I personally believe that the first line of defense should be garlic extract. This does nothing to your plants and it has a good chance of killing some or all of the bugs on your weed plant. If this doesn’t work, you’re going to have to bring in the bigger guns.

Spidermites are the most likely bug to infest your weed plant. You can spot their eggs as tiny black dots (REALLY tiny, like if they were any smaller you couldn’t see them) on the underside of the leaves. To kill these suckers, you’re going to have to buy something. I recommend Spidermite Control from The Grow Shop because it’s cheap (€12,61), totally organic and does the job even if your spidermite problem is out of control.

Fungi can also be a problem for your weed plant. Unfortunately, once fungi sets in you can only really limit its spread. However, there are some leaf sprays that you can use that also double as nutrient sprays. I found this one, Leafcoat, for only €7,16. Totally organic, prevents fungi, scares away bugs and promotes THC production. Definitely a good buy.

The bottom line with bug control in weed plants is that prevention is better than cure. I would definitely recommend picking up some of this leaf coat stuff at The Grow Shop, before bugs become a problem.

Hindu Kush is one of the world’s oldest cannabis indica strains, and it has a rich, rugged history. It is believed that Hindu Kush was the first cannabis strain brought back from the ‘Orient’ to Europe by explorers, hundreds of years ago.

Since then Hindu Kush has remained largely unadulterated, and is only occasionally bred with plants like White Widow to add potency and its rich, exotic flavor.

Despite its ancient origins, modern Hindu Kush strains are best suited to indoor growing. The Nirvana Shop have engineered a ‘Master Kush‘, which combines the best elements of Hindu Kush and potent sativa strains.

Master Kush is an excellent plant to grow indoors, as it stays short but produces high yields (around 400g per square meter sea of green). The taste is earthy and spicy, and the smoke feels a bit like hash on the lungs. The high you get is a powerful body buzz that starts in the temples and moves down, making your whole body tingle. Lasts for hours.

This brand of Hindu Kush is rich in THC (up to 20%) and flowers in as little as 7 weeks. It is relatively easy to grow, provided that you give it the respect it deserves. When you grow and smoke Hindu Kush you become part of a history that is much bigger than yourself, and that’s something to think about when you’re puffing away.

You can buy Hindu Kush Seeds from The Nirvana Shop’s indoor section for EUR 25.00 – the best price on the net!

For a basic look at what you need to grow outdoor marijuana, take a look at the post What Do I Need to Grow Marijuana. What follows is a look at two or three chemicals or organic solutions you need to grow marijuana successfully.

These are not entirely necessary – you can just stick some cannabis seeds in a pot, water every 2 days and wait for it to mature, but you probably won’t produce a lot, and it won’t really be worth smoking or the effort you put into it. It’s really easy, and pretty cheap, to go the extra mile and grow the best marijuana plant you can.

The first thing you need is something to promote vegetation (the first stage of the plant’s growth). In outdoor plants, vegetation can take anywhere up to 3 months. The next thing you need is something that stimulates the flower growth – this will affect your marijuana yield.

To get started, what I’d recommend is picking up one of Nirvana Shop’s Germination Kits These are little sphagnum peat moss tablets that protect your seeds and provide them with all the nutrients they need for proper germination. They give your ladies the best possible start in life, and at 9 Euro, they’re well worth the extra few bucks.

Lastly, you will need something to combat bacterial infections and bugs. This can vary, but as a first line of defense I would say try garlic extract sprayed onto the leaves before you go spending any money.

All of these products to grow marijuana can be found at Nirvana Shop, the internet’s best resource for hydroponics, solutions, and anything else you need to grow marijuana.

If you sit down in a coffee shop in Amsterdam and you order a spliff without specifying what ganja strain you want in it, chances are you will get PPP or something like it.

‘Pure Power Plant‘ was developed from potent South African indica and sativa strains to be both a great smoke and a good crop. It grows voraciously outdoors, but it can also be grown indoor. These buds can sell for top dollar, and produce an intense all-over buzz with distinctly high characteristics.

The taste is slightly sweet, with a very pleasant pine aftertaste. A square meter of PPP plants will yield up to 500 grams of potent marijuana, all in as little as 8 weeks! PPP has a high THC content (15-20%) and produces a lot of pollen if you like to collect off your buds.

PPP is definitely a social weed, good for parties and any occasion where you can’t just veg in front of the TV.

You can buy a packet of 10 PPP seeds from the White Strains Section of the Nirvana Shop. I would seriously recommend giving this one a try!
