I'm gonna be growing for the first time and i want to know how deep the roots normally grow in the ground with a short plant, because i have a problem with rocks and need to dig a hole. Also, what can i do with the leaves after i harvest the buds
Well, first-off marijuana is a weed. It'll grow justa bout anywere you want it to. If the soil is too rocky underneath the plant, then the roots will spread outward (unless ya got an inch of soil or somethin) if you have at least a foot of soil, you should be fine. Growing outdoors doesn't usually weild as high-quality of a plant, but its easier to maintain, it practically grow on it own. Last year I grew about 24-25 plants outdoors randomly assorted through the woods. I had enough money for the rest of the year! Anymore questions, just ask. If I arn't making any sence just holla.
pretty much nothing. the leaves have very low THC, if any at all. however you could graft some of your plants before you harvest them, so you'll have some more plants to grow, if that's what your asking.
don't worry about the roots. if the soil is decent, the rocks won't be a problem. the roots will just grow around them. dry the leaves out and cook with them.
or just not dry them out and make canabutter, hash browneis, and shit. The thc is lower but what your doing is straining the thc into water but you will still get high. some people say its better.
