Stevie's Grow Fundamentals
01
Environment First
Temperature, humidity, airflow. Get these dialed before germination. 68-78F, 40-60% RH for veg.
02
Root Zone Matters Most
Overwatering is the #1 beginner kill. Let the medium dry slightly between waterings. Roots need oxygen.
03
Light is Food
Cheap light = small yields. LED with 35-50W true draw per sq ft minimum.
04
pH Kills Silently
Wrong pH locks out nutrients. Soil: 6.0-7.0. Coco/hydro: 5.5-6.5. Get a decent pH pen.
05
Less Is More
New growers over-feed. Start at half the recommended dose and watch the plant.
06
Document Everything
Keep a grow log. Photo journal. Write down what you did and when.
Stevie's Cannabis Pro Guide

Seed to harvest.

10 chapters covering the steps, the gear, and the common mistakes, from years of growing. Open a chapter and dig in.

01
Planning Your Grow
FREE
▼
In this chapter: Indoor vs outdoor, space planning, legal considerations, budget breakdown.
Before you buy a single thing, figure out your space. A closet works. A tent works. A backyard works. The grow adapts to you, not the other way around.
CHAPTER 1 KIT: Planning Essentials
Full write-up, gear, and mistakes to avoidFreeRead in Grow Guide
02
Setting Up Your Space
FREE
▼
In this chapter: Tents, rooms, ventilation, odor control, layout and workflow.
Your environment is 80% of the battle. Dial in temp, humidity, and airflow before you ever pop a seed. Everything else is easier after that.
CHAPTER 2 KIT: Space Setup
Full write-up, gear, and mistakes to avoidFreeRead in Grow Guide
03
Lighting
FREE
▼
In this chapter: LED vs HPS, wattage per sq ft, light schedules, height and distance, budget picks vs pro picks.
Light is food. Period. A $60 LED will outgrow a sunny windowsill every time. You don't need the most expensive light, you need the right one for your space.

04
Genetics & Seed Selection
FREE
▼
In this chapter: Photoperiod vs auto, indica vs sativa structure, feminized seeds, trusted seedbanks, what to look for.
Genetics are your blueprint. A $10 seed from a reputable bank will outperform a $50 "premium" clone from a sketchy source every time. Start with something forgiving.
CHAPTER 4 KIT: Seed Starting
Full write-up, gear, and mistakes to avoidFreeRead in Grow Guide
05
Germination & Seedling Stage
FREE
▼
In this chapter: Paper towel method, direct sow, jiffy pellets, humidity domes, first 2 weeks care, common seedling kills.
The paper towel method is simple and it works. Moist, not soaking. Dark, warm place. 24-72 hours. When the taproot is half an inch, she's ready for soil. Don't overthink this part.
CHAPTER 5 KIT: Germination
Full write-up, gear, and mistakes to avoidFreeRead in Grow Guide
06
Vegetative Growth
FREE
▼
In this chapter: 18/6 light cycle, topping & training (LST, HST, SCROG), nutrient intro, pH management, when to flip.
Veg is where you build your canopy. Don't rush to flower. A well-trained plant in veg will double your yield in flower. This is the investment stage.
CHAPTER 6 KIT: Veg Stage
Full write-up, gear, and mistakes to avoidFreeRead in Grow Guide
07
Flowering
FREE
▼
In this chapter: 12/12 flip, stretch management, bloom nutrients, trichome development, bud rot prevention, when to start flushing.
Flowering is the payoff. Patience is everything here. Don't chop early. Watch the trichomes. Milky with a few amber is the sweet spot for most growers.
CHAPTER 7 KIT: Flowering

08
Harvest, Drying & Curing
FREE
▼
In this chapter: When to chop, wet trim vs dry trim, drying conditions (60°F/60% RH), curing in jars, burping schedule, long-term storage.
Growing it is half the job. Drying and curing is where the magic happens. Rush this and you waste everything you just spent months building. Low and slow wins.
CHAPTER 8 KIT: Harvest & Cure

09
Troubleshooting & Pest Control
FREE
▼
In this chapter: Nutrient deficiencies, pH lockout, overwatering, pests (spider mites, fungus gnats, aphids), mold/mildew, heat stress.
Every grower kills plants. It's how you learn. The key is diagnosing fast. Most problems are pH, overwatering, or light distance. Check those three before you panic.

Advanced Techniques
FREE
▼
In this chapter: SCROG mastery, SOG, cloning, breeding basics, living soil, CO2 supplementation, multi-tent perpetual harvest.
Once you've got a full cycle under your belt, that's when it gets fun. Every grow teaches you something. The best growers I know are still learning, and that's the point.
