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 […]
The bud’s color is an assurance of its quality. I want my nugs in that lime green color, gleaming with life when I spread them on virgin rolling papers. The buds, however, change colors so many times during the drying and curing process that you get worried you won’t like the resulting bud’s color. […]
If you’re reading this, most probably, you’re not a stoner. Trust me, you can’t be a stoner and fail to know you’re one. There’s just a vibe to it, and it’s so amazing that stoners never have a problem being stoners. If you only smoke weed when you get it, then you’re far from […]
The plant pot size affects yield because it controls how big the plant can grow. The pot is the chalice from where the plant draws all the essential nutrients. If it’s inadequate, it means your plant is drinking from a half-empty glass. Thus, not getting enough nutrients to sustain the changes through the growth […]
Smoking weed is fun until you’re stuck with the weed stank for hours. It’s worse when you’re just getting a hit before you leave for work, class, or whatever you do that gets you mixing up with people. (This post contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, we will get a commission at no […]
Topping a marijuana plant is a skill you need to master to give new growth room and broaden the plant’s canopy. It is one of the most commonly used training techniques that have proved to increase yields immensely. However, topping is a high-stress training method. It gives a lot of pain to the plant […]
SCROG during flowering is never a white or black thing. You never want much stress on the plant during flowering because any stalling in growth can affect your yield immensely. SCROG involves placing a net over the plant so the new shoots grow through it. As the stems push through the net, you weave […]
Bud rot identifies as gray mold and is a common fungus to growers in high humid climates. It is a severe malady that can make you lose a whole plant if you don’t control it because, well, bud rot spreads fast! The fungus, known as Botrytis cinerea, thrives in humidity above RH of 50%. Perk […]
After drying, you might notice a loss of taste and smell in your buds. Mostly it’s either because the buds have lost so much moisture within a short time. The problem with most growers is that they rush the drying process and thus end up losing the valuable terpenes that make for better-smelling buds. […]
Vegging for longer is praised among growing circles as an excellent way to get more out of your plants. The bigger the plant grows, the higher the yield. That’s the general rule. But is it a high-yielding technique or just another grower advice that everybody dishes around? I thought we should look into it […]
