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.
Cannabis expresses its stresses mainly through the leaves and buds. So when you notice the leaves and buds become anything but ordinary, you want to look into the problem fast. Sometimes the leaves deform and change color, even wilt as a natural process, but other times, the leaf discoloration and deformities reveal a deep-seated […]
Feeding your cannabis plants is core to the art of growing. Like any other plant and other life-forms, your cannabis plants need nourishment to thrive. The cannabis plant is highly dependent on the essential macronutrients (potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen), but they also need secondary macronutrients like calcium and magnesium to grow and yield healthy […]
Silica is an important nutrient for your cannabis plant, but how much is too much Silica? The plant needs Silica, among other nutrients, to flourish and yield. The plant’s entire survival relies on your ability to avail the proper nutrients when the plant needs them. It begins with getting the suitable substrate, and when most […]
Boiling cannabis roots in water might seem a far-fetched, fictitious practice with zero grounding in science, but some growers swear by its effectiveness at potentiating your buds. If you’re reading, then most probably you’re ready to try it if it holds the promise of the dank, cannabinoid-rich sticky icky! (This article contains affiliate links, […]
Growing cannabis comes with strict timelines. And no time is more critical than harvesting time. It can either break or make your growing experience. Waiting too long to harvest, just like harvesting too early, can hurt the quality of your yield considerably. If you harvest at the right time, you reap the benefits of […]
Growers don’t like hermie plants. For most growers, hermie plants aren’t worth keeping. They spoil the fun of growing and reduce the yield. Unlike female plants that produce cannabinoid-rich buds, hermaphrodites produce seed-filled buds if you let them progress to harvesting. Let’s explore if hermie plants are worth keeping, really. Seed-filled buds aren’t all that […]
Growing indoors is about mimicking the outdoor growing environment and making improvements where possible. Cannabis plants grown outside enjoy the sun in all its essence. Light movers can help mimic the sun’s light, hitting the plant at the right intensity. The sun is never stuck in one place, so the sun’s apparent movement allows […]
Plants need certain essential elements to produce their food, flourish, and yield. Cannabis plants are no exception. One such important element that cannabis needs to thrive and yield properly is carbon dioxide (CO2). Experienced growers use dry ice to feed plants enough C02. When you’re growing indoors, you can run short of this supply, […]
Thrips are predatory insects that feed on both plants and other insects. These sap-sacking insects can drill openings on the leaves, flowers, and buds of your cannabis plants, drawing the juices from them and leaving them dehydrated. Thrips can be stubborn. Most growers opine that once thrips invade your cannabis, it can be challenging […]
Growing cannabis is fun, and most novice growers try to start as cheap as possible. One of the costly marijuana-growing supplies is potting soil. And when it’s out of reach, people think of crazy ideas. Using regular dirt for growing cannabis is one of such crazy ideas. *This post contains affiliate links. If you […]
Nutrient burn is one of the common problems that cannabis growers grapple with. The plants need as many nutrients as they should get, but sometimes, we go a little overboard, giving them more than they can take. Cannabis plants thrive on three significant macronutrients— nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous. But still need a lot of […]
Nobody has to guess what neem oil is good for. It’s known for wide medicinal applications, and if you don’t know yet, it is also popular among weed growers. Neem has been used for centuries for pest control in organic growing. Native to the Indian subcontinent, neem has many compounds in it, with the […]
Cannabis growers want the best for their plants, and using bone meal is one of the proven and tested means for improving the capacity for the plant to yield healthier buds. Bone meal is made from ground bones of commonly slaughtered animals, but mostly from beef. The bones are steamed to potentiate their properties […]
Bat guano is a popular fertilizer within cannabis growing circles. Bat feces is rich in essential minerals that the plants need to flourish and yield. Since it is a naturally occurring fertilizer with no preservatives, bat guano is safe in the right proportions. Being a natural fertilizer with many endorsements, most growers might not […]
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 […]
