Growers transplant cuttings easily by placing the the rootball in a partially filled container. Then planting medium is added until the ball is completely covered. Growers report that once the seeds have sprouted, the plants begin a period of fast growth. With good conditions plants grow three or four sets of leaves within the first 10 days. After that they really take off growing both top and side branches. By the end of the first month, a stocky plant usually grows between one and one and a half feet. After two months of growth plants grow between two and three feet depending on conditions and variety.  Cannabis Plants grown using intense light and CO2 grow faster.

A room 6 x 3 x 9 = 162 ft3. The lights are on continuously and the air is enriched with a steady flow of.25 ft3 of CO2 per hour. Six feet of gas is used per day. A 20 lb. tank holds 20 x 8.7 = 174 ft3 ¸ 6 = 29 days of use per refill. Growers often ventilate the hot air out of the space to disperse heat. They found that it does not do much for the plants to run the CO2 enrichment system and the ventilation system at the same time, since the gas is drawn out (cannabis seeds). Instead, the CO2 unit goes on after the ventilation system has stopped and quickly re-innoculates the area with CO2. Some high-tech garden companies sell devices designed to regulate the systems automatically.

One is attached to an air pump at the other end and pushes air into the top of the reservoir. The other tube goes into the bottom of the reservoir. When the air is pushed into the reservoir the water rises, flooding the growing area. When the pump is turned off, the water flows back to the reservoir. More sophisticated units have a back-flow valve. Usually gardens are flooded twice a day using a short range timer. Larger systems use a water pump to flood the growing area.Before watering the drain hole in the tray is plugged. Water is added to the two and one half inch level, then the plug is pulled allowing the water to drain into the holding tank. The grower of power plant seeds watered two to three times a day. After each flooding additional water is added to the reservoir to replace the liquid absorbed by the containers.
