When choosing the grow pot to use, you might want to know how far the roots can grow so that you use a pot with sufficient depth. Cannabis plants grow pretty fast, and some strains that grow big also reciprocate in the growth of roots. Their roots grow deeper into the medium and might […]
Growing cannabis is a timing game. From seedling to harvest, you must do everything within a suitable timeframe. Flowering cannabis is one such essential process, but sometimes you end up flowering cannabis for too long. That can be a recipe for chaos! These extremes; flowering for too long or too little time, have undesired […]
Nutrient burn in coco is something growers rarely talk about. Perhaps, it’s because plants grown in coco utilize the nutrients better than plants grown in soil.

Cannabis plants enjoy the breeze just as much, but they need it more for survival than for enjoyment. Outside, cannabis plants’ leaves dance effortlessly in the wind […]
CO2 is an essential resource for plants. Outside the plants can access CO2 in its natural distribution. Since there’s no way to enclose the plants, they make do with atmospheric C02 level. Atmospheric C02 level is about 400 parts per million (ppm), but the plants need between 1200-1600 ppm to yield more indoors. Thus, […]
Topping is the most common way to break the apical dominance of the plant and encourage horizontal growth. It helps the plant distribute the growth hormones to the sides, encouraging the growth to branch out, and improves exposure to light. Though topping is an essential training method that nearly all growers use, it is […]

Trichomes not turning amber can leave an unsettling feeling since most growers depend on the changes in the color of trichomes to inform them when they should be harvesting.

Mold is the ultimate nightmare of a cannabis grower. You might have done everything right, but when mold catches up with your fat, potent buds, you’re counting losses! Growers keep mold at bay by monitoring humidity, but when the buds get infected, little can be done to save them. Most growers will throw away […]
Cannabis growers go bonkers over THC production hitches. It seems THC is the only thing that matters to those who grow for recreational use.
