Cannabis is a herb that needs watering, food, cultivating and tending. Weeds can grow in poor soil with very little rain.
Cannabis is not an herb. Let's look at the USDA classification of Cannabis Sativa:
| Kingdom Plantae – Plants |
| Subkingdom Tracheobionta – Vascular plants |
| Superdivision Spermatophyta – Seed plants |
| Division Magnoliophyta – Flowering plants |
| Class Magnoliopsida – Dicotyledons |
| Subclass Hamamelididae |
| Order Urticales |
| Family Cannabaceae – Hemp family |
| Genus Cannabis L. – hemp P |
| Species Cannabis sativa L. – marijuana P |
Cannabis is in the Hemp family. It requires the same fertilization and care as Hemp. If you've ever been in the US Midwest there are huge stands of ditchweed (hemp left over from WWII cultivation). It survives without care and is regularly beat back and yet returns.
Anyway this is a beginner asking for help. He/she is not trying to tune his game to get the last x% of cannabinoids or gram of weight possible out of the plant. Many things can be added to help this plant perform better and he/she will learn those over time as he/she gains experience. Cannabis is very forgiving and I hope this new grower is encouraged by how robust this plant can perform and recover from most beginners mistakes.

Well said. Listen to this person. One of the true ones here.
Take drive through Indiana along the interstates in the country at the end of September. Some of the most impressive "hemp" plants you will ever see in the wild in the USA. Illegal still there. Don't harvest. Long jail term for hemp there.
Thank you, that was very kind Mich. We need more new growers.

YW. Just a fact. Straightest advice here comes from you. Need more of you. But I'm trying to increase our hoard as well. Come one and all. The world needs more plants. Preferably organic. Have a great day. Chat made mine so far.
And just ask OP. Several people can and will help you.

Just an FYI. Those hemp stands are Indiana's bait for additional revenue. Funny how the road commission mows them down except certain areas every year.

According to wiki cannabis is a annual flowering herb. This very debate has been going on for 200 years. Marijuana and weed are slang. Peace

I went to wiki and changed it 1 hour ago knowing you would go there.
Not really but that would have been pretty awesome.

Isn't that the sight built on opinion's of users. My kid and I humor our self with the flat earth type definitions there.
But it is a weed that you can cook with. Does it matter? Is passing time though. TY.
My point remains, Cannabis S. is a forgiving and easily grown plant. Results and husbandry are directly proportional but we all begin at the beginning and almost anyone can have a productive grow. Have a good Sunday.
