My Tips for Beginners Growing and Training Weed Plants

How big and robust your cannabis plants become during the vegetation stage will play a major role in how they perform during bloom. Cannabis plant training is one of the easiest ways to significantly enhance yield potential. Below are my growing weed tips for training and shaping the growth structure of your crops.

1# – LST for Bushy Plants

The low-stress technique involves tying your plants down to create a bushy and laterally dominant canopy. LST should be performed during the vegetation stage and can be combined with other techniques such as topping, super cropping and pruning. The LST method is perfect for growers who want to produce the biggest yields possible in small spaces.

Using the right indoor setup, lighting, and techniques is essential when applying growing tips to maximize cannabis yield and plant health.

2# – Pruning for Better Canopy Control

Pruning is a method that involves carefully removing foliage beneath the top nodes of your cannabis plant. Using a scalpel, you will remove any leaves or smaller axillary shoots, allowing the plants to focus all their energy on the remaining top nodes. Pruning should be performed one week before switching your timers to 12/12 to prevent stress.

#3 – Topping After Week 3 of Vegetation

Topping is a plant training method that involves removing the growth shoot from the top node. After the shoot is removed, two small axillary shoots will remain on either side, which will then become the crown shoots, resulting in two symmetrical top colas. Topping your plants from week 3 onwards can quickly produce larger plants and also help control how tall they become.

 

My Tips for Beginners For Getting The Biggest Yields

Plant training is advantageous for home growers who want the biggest yields, but there are other ways to achieve the harvest of your dreams! Below are my tips for growing yields and achieving record-breaking yields.

 

#1 – Hydroponic Systems

If you are fed up with soil-grown crops that produce decent yields, then why consider switching your grow room to a hydroponic setup? Hydro systems such as the Atami Wilma System are easy to use and deliver incredible results in terms of yield and turnaround time.

#2 – Bloombastic Flowering Booster

Cannabis plants rely on a specific range of nutrients during their lifecycle, especially during flower development. There are so many different boosters on the market; however, if you are serious about taking your yields to the next level, you need to use Bloombastic. You will notice your buds become fatter and denser than ever before after the first feeding. If you prefer an organic version, then try the Bi-Bloombastic line.

 

Growing Weed Tips for Tasty Buds

We all love tasty and smooth-tasting buds, and sometimes it can be easier said than done when you are a beginner grower. For most growers, the taste of their buds is the most important, so below are my tips for growing tasty, terpene-rich buds.

 

#1 – Atazyme

Enzymes are an excellent way to accelerate the breakdown of organic compounds and increase the rate at which plants access nutrients. Atazyme can be used as part of a nutrient line to help keep your roots clean, white and healthy, whilst enhancing the flavour profile of your buds during flower development. A great weed-growing tip is to use enzymes when flushing your cannabis plants during the final 2 weeks before harvesting.

 

#2 – VGN Nutrients

Our latest nutrient line was created for organic growers seeking a plant-derived, veganic product. The VGN line, when combined with Janeco Light Mix, will produce the most aromatic, terpene-rich buds you can imagine. In fact, check that your carbon filter is working well before using the VGN nutrients in the room.

 

My Tips for Growing Outdoor Weed

Growing weed outdoors is one of the most rewarding things a cannabis grower can do. You do not need to worry about electricity bills, and getting your outdoor project started can be a low-cost endeavour anyone can take on. Below are my weed-growing tips for producing a successful outdoor harvest in 2026.

 

#1 – Autoflowers for Cold Climates

If you find that growing photoperiod cannabis plants outdoors never rewards you well, and most of the time you produce a small yield, then you need to consider growing autos! The beauty of growing autos outdoors is that they adapt well to colder climates and short summers, and will flower automatically after week 4 from the day they germinate. Autos tend to stay on the short side. They are planted from April to October, ensuring a perpetual harvest, making them the best cannabis seeds for beginners.

#2 – Fast Flowering Photoperiods

Growers in Northern Europe will find that growing fast-flowering photoperiod strains that take no more than 56 days is the most practical way to ensure a top-quality crop. To avoid disappointment, avoid anything that may take 8 weeks or more, and research indica-dominant hybrids that are sturdy, adapt well to colder weather, and require minimal maintenance once established.

My Final Thoughts

Combining cannabis plant training techniques during vegetation and working with high-yielding genetics will help set a new harvest record. For those who want cup-winning flavours, then consider using the VGN line with Janeco Light Mix and adding Bloombastic during the last 4 weeks of bloom. Atazyme will also enhance the smoothness and taste of your buds when smoking and play a major role in nutrient availability.

Growing outdoors can be challenging; however, stick with fast-flowering photoperiods or autoflowering cannabis seeds, and you will eliminate the risk of harvesting low-yielding crops. Best of luck applying these marijuana grow tips in your grow room and elevating to a top-level grower overnight!
