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 imp...

How do you get cannabis plants to bloom?

The flowering stages The plant is fully grown and the end is nearly in sight. Now we are approaching the flowering phase, after which you can start harvesting. The first three weeks of the flowering phase are in fact more a growth phase. After the flowering phase of the plants has been initiated by setting the lighting to a schedule of 12 hours light and 12 hours darkness, they will start flowering (growing) explosively. They can easily double or even triple in size. I remember the first time I ever grew a plant as if it was yesterday. I was amazed to see that the little plant quickly transformed into a giant. The buds keep swelling, the trichomes start being formed and the specific odor of the plant continues to develop, which makes it hard to wait until the buds can be harvested and you can enjoy the first joint of your own harvest. The cannabis plant develops stems and leaves during the first 1-3 weeks of the flowering stage. However, the growth suddenly changes to the formation of...
