Growing cannabis isn’t just about waiting for the buds to take form and mature. Good growers adopt practices to help them get the most yield out of their growing cycles. While some growers prefer to grow many plants and harvest faster, others would rather have fewer plants that grow bigger and take longer to […]
Drying weed is an essential procedure. You’ve probably known how controlled the process of drying and curing is, and all for good reasons. These processes mature your buds like fine wine, improving their cannabinoid concentrations and aroma. As such, drying is a process you can’t skip, even if you risk losing potency. Drying just has […]
Cannabis expresses its stresses mainly through the leaves and buds. So when you notice the leaves and buds become anything but ordinary, you want to look into the problem fast. Sometimes the leaves deform and change color, even wilt as a natural process, but other times, the leaf discoloration and deformities reveal a deep-seated […]
Feeding your cannabis plants is core to the art of growing. Like any other plant and other life-forms, your cannabis plants need nourishment to thrive. The cannabis plant is highly dependent on the essential macronutrients (potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen), but they also need secondary macronutrients like calcium and magnesium to grow and yield healthy […]
Silica is an important nutrient for your cannabis plant, but how much is too much Silica? The plant needs Silica, among other nutrients, to flourish and yield. The plant’s entire survival relies on your ability to avail the proper nutrients when the plant needs them. It begins with getting the suitable substrate, and when most […]
Boiling cannabis roots in water might seem a far-fetched, fictitious practice with zero grounding in science, but some growers swear by its effectiveness at potentiating your buds. If you’re reading, then most probably you’re ready to try it if it holds the promise of the dank, cannabinoid-rich sticky icky! (This article contains affiliate links, […]
Growing cannabis comes with strict timelines. And no time is more critical than harvesting time. It can either break or make your growing experience. Waiting too long to harvest, just like harvesting too early, can hurt the quality of your yield considerably. If you harvest at the right time, you reap the benefits of […]
Growers don’t like hermie plants. For most growers, hermie plants aren’t worth keeping. They spoil the fun of growing and reduce the yield. Unlike female plants that produce cannabinoid-rich buds, hermaphrodites produce seed-filled buds if you let them progress to harvesting. Let’s explore if hermie plants are worth keeping, really. Seed-filled buds aren’t all that […]
Growing indoors is about mimicking the outdoor growing environment and making improvements where possible. Cannabis plants grown outside enjoy the sun in all its essence. Light movers can help mimic the sun’s light, hitting the plant at the right intensity. The sun is never stuck in one place, so the sun’s apparent movement allows […]
Plants need certain essential elements to produce their food, flourish, and yield. Cannabis plants are no exception. One such important element that cannabis needs to thrive and yield properly is carbon dioxide (CO2). Experienced growers use dry ice to feed plants enough C02. When you’re growing indoors, you can run short of this supply, […]
Thrips are predatory insects that feed on both plants and other insects. These sap-sacking insects can drill openings on the leaves, flowers, and buds of your cannabis plants, drawing the juices from them and leaving them dehydrated. Thrips can be stubborn. Most growers opine that once thrips invade your cannabis, it can be challenging […]
Growing cannabis is fun, and most novice growers try to start as cheap as possible. One of the costly marijuana-growing supplies is potting soil. And when it’s out of reach, people think of crazy ideas. Using regular dirt for growing cannabis is one of such crazy ideas. *This post contains affiliate links. If you […]
