If you love weed enough to want to grow it, you need all the support you can get. Here, you will find cannabis growing guides and all how-tos you need.
If you have been observant, you have noticed the insides of most grow tents are laced with a reflective material. Almost all grow tents have a reflective surface. And this happens for a reason. Lighting is an important consideration when you’re growing cannabis. The plants should be well-exposed, absorbing all the light they need […]
Molasses use during flush is shrouded in mystery and misinformation. Most growers agree that flushing is to help the plant to utilize the nutrients in its reserves, as opposed to absorbing them from the roots. It is done in a bid to remove extra nutes so that the buds become cleaner and smoother. But […]
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. Coco as a medium contains no nutrients. Thus, the plant gobbles up whatever is available in the grow bucket pretty quickly. However, most beginners make the mistake of […]
Don’t you love it when a cool breeze soothes your skin as it slitters away? The gentle wind tickles your senses and clears the atmosphere of impurities. 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 […]
Vegging time plays an integral part in the weed-growing process. When you veg for a suitable duration, you will get the most out of your buds. And that’s what growers want— to get the most buds from their growing efforts. Vegging time is also one of the few factors that the grower can manipulate […]
Growing cannabis comes with the burden of keeping everything right. The veg time affects the quality and quantity of your yield immensely. The longer the veg time, the bigger the plant grows. The bigger the plant, the more the bud sites, and thus more yield. Growers who know how beneficial vegging for longer is […]
If you’re like most growers, you’ll want to get the best out of your plants. It takes a lot of effort, dedication, and real good financial investment to grow weed. And you want the resulting buds to be worth their weight in gold. Airy and loose marijuana buds are good for nobody. Bigger buds […]
Most growers depend on trichomes’ color changes to inform them when they should be harvesting. And when trichomes don’t turn amber, it can leave an unsettling feeling that something has gone wrong. Well, depending on trichomes to know when to harvest is wrong— widely practiced because it’s convenient— but still wrong. The best […]
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. […]
Rain is one of the weather hazards that keep outdoor cannabis growers up at night. When it pours down heavily, you wonder if the rain will wash away all the juicy resin glands and reduce the potency of your buds. In this article, we’ll explore the effects of rain on cannabis buds and […]
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 […]
