Reading and understanding the needs of the plant

Thousands of articles, instructions and reports on the right grow box, lighting, fertilization scheme, etc. have already been put on paper. Reading them is easy for anyone who has ever used the Internet.

So here is a “grow guide of a different kind”. To find out what the cannabis plant can do for us, we need to understand what we can do for our plant.

If the plant grows in its natural environment, deeply rooted in the soil, it is connected to everything it needs. The microorganisms and fungi offer a rich buffet of metabolized nutrients, the sun provides energy in exactly the right spectrum, the crawling and flying beneficial organisms are in balance with pests, and outside intervention is not necessary. Cannabis is an annual in nature, which means that an entire life, including reproduction, must be completed within this one year. This perfectly timed process is coordinated by the duration of sunlight. In spring, when the days become noticeably longer, the plant grows in height and width.

When the days get shorter again in summer, meaning the duration of light decreases, this is the signal to the plant that winter is just around the corner and the time has come for reproduction, i.e. flowering. In this way, the life of the plant, in contrast to a human life, runs in fast forward, so to speak.

However, if we isolate the plant in a pot in our living space, all the conditions change. Like a bird that is caught in the garden and locked in a cage in the house, the plant is no longer able to look after itself and is completely dependent on humans. Taking on this task involves a lot of effort and a great deal of responsibility, but it often has unexpected potential.

What does this have to do with our consciousness/mind?

Reading and understanding the needs of the plant is essential for the best possible care and therefore also for the best possible harvest.

While we provide our protégé with the right amount of good water, light and high-quality nutrients, we influence this living organism in another way: with our own personal energy.

What sounds like esoteric armchair circles and Kumbaya has been used in modern medicine for some time. For example, organs can be visualized using alternating magnetic fields in magnetic resonance imaging and brain activity can be evaluated using an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Plants also have an energy field that is not visible to the naked eye, but can be made visible using Kirlian photography. These electromagnetic fields are in constant communication with one another and also influence one another. In the broadest sense, this means that the person who cares for the plant also influences it with his or her own personal electromagnetic field and is influenced by the plant's field.

Healing through cannabis does not begin with the consumption of the flowers, but rather with the handling of the growing plant. A benevolent attitude when caring for your own grow is rewarded not only by healthy plants, but also by the tailor-made end product.

With this in mind: Grow your mind!

Since this is also of economic relevance, several universities have already dealt with this topic scientifically.

Here is a small excerpt from the many papers that have been written on this topic:
