Wet Trim vs Dry Trim: Which Is Better?2020

图片
Wet trim vs dry trim - Is one really better than the other? The wet trim vs dry trim debate is really just an example of different people liking different things. To a certain extent, it all comes down to personal preference. However, certain growers will be better suited for wet trimming. If you have a huge crop, you may not be able to find space to hang your plants to dry. So, you'll need to trim wet and dry afterward. We will break down the benefits and drawbacks of each style so you can make the most informed decision possible. Wet trimming benefits Wet trimming is recommended by a lot of growers. The main reason they claim this method is more superior is because of greater trichome preservation, and quicker harvesting. It also takes up less space when the drying process begins. Buds can “puff out”, appearing larger and more aesthetic. If you are a commercial grower, this can be a huge reason to trim wet. This also makes the drying process faster, by removing much o

WHAT MAKE UP AN EXCELLENT LED GROW LIGHT ? 1.PPFD Value : PPFD is Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density. When you choose a plant light, you should compare the PPFD values of different plant lights. The larger the value, the better the growth of the plant. 2.Actual Power: Because the actual power of the plant light always varies with different conditions, all sellers use the rated power to describe the power of the product because the rated power is constant. When you pick a LED grow light , the rated power of the plant light is a reference, and more importantly is the actual power. 3.Core Coverage: In addition to the above two, when you choose a plant light, you also need to compare the cover area of different plant lights, of course, the size of the core coverage area. In general, in germination stage, you can hang the plant light higher and the cover area is larger. In flowering stage you can hang the plant light lower and the cover area is smaller because the plant needs more light at

Essential Tools for Harvesting Your Cannabis

How to Trim Cannabis We find it easiest to trim off at least some of the larger, prominent fan leaves while they're still fairly wet. Removing bulky leaves helps promote drying. Additionally, as the leaves dry they will curl around themselves and the buds, which makes it more difficult to slip the trimming snips in there. On the other hand, after the cannabis has dried, the leftover leaves can become so brittle and loose that they are easy to flick off with the end of your snips or even a toothpick. When it comes to trimming, perfection is not the goal. Not in our opinion at least! We grow for personal use, family, and friends. We don't need perfectly manicured buds, nor do we have the patience for it. Plus, there are trichomes and THC on some of the leaves! Therefore, we hardly bother with trying to remove the "sugar leaves" - the smallest ones coming out from the center of the buds. Yet we do trim away the larger, non-sugary leaves that are attached to the main stem

Best Nutrients for Cannabis Flowering Stage

Your cannabis plants have been in the vegetative stage for a while now. They grew in size, developed a vigorous structure, and plenty of fan leaves. When the female plants grow small white pistils from the nodal areas, they’re signalling that it’s time for the flowering phase. During this phase, buds grow and develop a solid cannabinoid and terpene profile. Outdoors, the flowering phase begins naturally with the fall season, while indoor growers need to kickstart the flowering phase by changing the light cycle from 18-6 to 12-12 hours of light and darkness. Before we proceed with the details, it’s important to note that the main mistake growers make during the flowering phase is overfeeding plants. Just because buds are forming doesn’t mean that they need to be blasted with fertilisers and boosters; this often leads to nutrient toxicity. As a rule of thumb, less nutrients produces better results. If nutrient deficiency is detected, one should gradually add the necessary compounds in

When to Replace High Intensity Discharge Light Bulbs

What is a High Intensity Discharge (HID) Light: High Intensity Discharge is an overarching term for a gas-discharge light. They are the oldest type of electrical light Among the common types of HID lights are mercury vapor, low and high pressure sodium and metal halide lamps. Other less common variants include ceramic metal halide and xenon short-arc lamps. HID lamps produce light by sending an electrical charge or "arc" between two tungsten electrical conductors (electrodes) and through an ionized gas (also known as "plasma") which is housed inside the bulb. HID lights require ignition which is typically provided by a voltage pulse or a third electrode (an additional metal part) internal to the bulb. Once lit the electrical arc begins to evaporate the metal salts inside the bulb which significantly increases the luminous power of the bulb while simultaneously improving lighting efficiency. HID lighting requires a "warm-up" period because the lighting

Best Grow Light For 3×3 grow Tent

3’ x 3’ grow tents are a perfect size to grow 4-6 plants full-size plants from veg to flower. The compact design is ideal for the grower with limited space and fits well in larger walk-in closets for a more secluded grow operation. The 3x3 portable grow tent is one of our most popular sizes for the beginner to learn to grow in and the 4-6 suggested plants are easy to manage for the average person, but also will yield a decent amount for personal use. View our product pages for lighting and ventilation recommendations as well as tons of other useful information. What Size LED Grow Light Do I Need? To work out what size of LED grow light you need, you first need to calculate the exact size of your grow space. The Size Of Your Grow Space When growing cannabis, a good rule of thumb is to use a minimum of 50 watts of light per square foot of grow space. We want to flood our plants with light ( food ) so that they have lots of energy to produce big potent buds. Therefore, we need to calc

HOW TO MAXIMIZE CANNABIS YIELDS

Increasing light intensity While the period of darkness is almost universally known to be crucial for successful flowering of cannabis, awareness of the importance of light intensity during flowering is somewhat lower among novice growers. Quite simply, the intense light of the daytime feeds the photosynthesis reaction that produces sugar for flower growth, while uninterrupted darkness allows the production and release of the flowering hormone florigen, without which cannabis plants simply do not flower. Therefore, maximising light intensity is one important option when it comes to maximising yield. The typical  indoor grow tent  light is a 600W high-pressure sodium ( HPS lamp ); if this is switched out for a 1000W, the lumens available to the plant increase from around 90,000 to around 135,000. Some growers report their yields almost doubling after switching to 1000W lamps. It is also possible to switch to using two 600W lamps instead of one, which may allow for improved light co
