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 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
The smell of buds is an indicator of the buds’ quality. If the buds smell weird, it means a thing or two have gone wrong during the drying and curing process. The bud’s smell accompanies the taste and gives you a favorable experience when smoking. Weed smells have everything […]
