Harvesting buds without killing the plant is a clever way to extend the plant’s life so that you get the maximum yield from it. Cannabis is an annual plant, which means it should live from seed to fruit and then senesce in one year. That’s its natural lifecycle—seedling, vegging, flowering, harvest, and, lastly, senescence. It […]
Misting buds is one of the most contentious issues in cannabis growing circles. While others swear by its effectiveness, others warn of the risks it poses to your buds. Misting during the vegging stage carries a few risks because the plant just has the leaves, and water doesn’t hold on to leaves for longer. […]
The horror of losing your female plants to pollination can be nauseating. If you don’t keep a close eye to restrain the horny pollens from copulating with your females, forget about sinsemilla. Thus, it matters to know just how far away a male plant can pollinate female flowers. A good grow should give you […]
Water curing is the cutest way to kill the weed stank and award you the most stealth weed on the face of the planet. Water-cured cannabis is also the smoothest because the process removes more solids than air curing does. And, oh, it’s way faster than the traditional air curing in mason jars with […]
Drying cannabis without hanging can be pretty life-saving if you don’t have a spacious cabinet to spread them out. Plus, when you have only a few buds to dry, then drying without hanging makes sense. It’s easier to monitor conditions in a small enclosure than in a whole room. Drying is a quality-assuring […]
Smoking weed and still feel high after 2 days is no miracle. The herb works in mysterious ways, one of which, it stays longer in your system than you think. It has happened to me severally. But in my case, it’s never a two-day straight high. Instead, I’ll be intensely high for 3 hours. […]
Cannabis roots growing towards the top of soil is an indication that something isn’t right. A healthy root ball is vital for your plants through their growth and development. The roots draw nutrients from the grow medium to other parts of the plant. Thus, tending to the roots rewards the overall plant’s health. […]
Every grower wants to give their buds enough time to swell and mature before they harvest them. It helps to know when the buds stop growing so that you don’t bring the cut too soon. The buds begin forming after the stretch. Stretch refers to the first week or two of flowering when the […]
Transplanting during flowering is fraught with risks. The plant is at a vulnerable state as it has shifted its energy from vegetative growth to bud formation. Repotting is a necessary procedure when your cannabis plants outgrow their pots, but you have a lot to lose during flowering. However, leaving your plants to continue […]
Flowering early is never a good idea if you want high yields per plant. If cannabis flowers too early, the plant will stop growing more branches that could have added more bud sites to your plant. In the end, your plant will produce less than it should, had it grown a little bigger to […]
Cloning is a clever way to retain the quality of your weed. It guarantees that the clone follows the genetic make-up of the mother plant. And with that comes the assurance that the plant’s defenses against harsh climates, its potency, and chemical compositions remain the same. Cloning saves growers the trouble of repeatedly […]
Curing cannabis in Ziploc bags isn’t something you hear about often but still is talked about. For most budget growers, anything that costs money is substituted by another that doesn’t. Thus, those who find airtight mason curing jars expensive are inclined to try curing cannabis without the curing jars. Most people who cure weed have a good […]
