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. Well, depending on trichomes on the buds to know when to harvest is wrong— widely practiced because it’s convenient— but still wrong. The color of […]
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. And THC being the only mind-bending cannabinoid, it makes sense why it’s such a sought-after cannabis component. Knowing when the THC begins to form can help you if you want […]
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 […]
