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...

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...

Advantages of using Grow Tents Kits Perfect for Indoor Growing – Grow tent kits provide a tidy and clutter-free environment for an indoor garden. All your plants and components are kept inside these compact grow boxes (no more tripping over wires and equipment) and there is no annoying grow light reflections from bright grow lights. Adaptable – Grow tent kits can be used for any hydroponics application, like herbs, vegetables, flowers, marijuana, seedlings, cloning, or whatever else may benefit from this microenvironment. They come in various shapes and sizes and are lightweight enough to be transported from room to room with minimal effort. Their frames are constructed with metal poles and attaching fixtures, while the outer shell is made from a thick, durable, and light-proof canvas material. Most tents have ventilation features to promote aeration, and zip-open access points which allow you to tend to your plants without ever stepping foot inside the tent. There are also circul...

WHAT SHOULD THE TEMP AND HUMIDITY BE IN A GROW ROOM?

The atmospheric conditions in an indoor garden have a tremendous impact on the quality and quantity of the finished crop. Growers of all skill levels are continuously trying to master the subtle environmental factors that can make a significant difference in growth and yield over the course of a plant’s life cycle. When discussing the atmospheric conditions of an indoor garden, people are often referring to humidity and temperature. Although humidity is an important aspect, this article will focus on temperature, which plays a vital role in the way a plant is able to process light and intake water and nutrients. Temperature affects a plant’s ability to  photosynthesize , and it also plays a key role in seed germination and fruit and flower development. If temperatures fall outside the desired range, the garden becomes less efficient. Over time, these inefficiencies can lead to smaller, lower-quality yields. Temperature effect on plants Plants are fairl...

How can I increase heat in Grow room?

Cold temperature kills plants. Specially indoor grow plants where ‘Mother Nature’ isn’t there to take care of them. And you as a smart grower must be acknowledged of it. So, what are the threats when your  grow room  is too cold? To be precise, such critical fall in temperature may cause damage to leaves and roots that leads to less germination and eventually less yield. None of us growers want that, right? To deal with the problem, you might have already bought heaters or made a few changes to the growing system. But still, it’s too cold while the lights are off. Specially if your tent is located in a poorly isolated room. However, we’ve been concerned about this very problem for quite a long and written a guide that’s going to bring the smile back for every grower. Take a moment and pat your back, as this article has got your attention. Get yourself a cup of coffee, take a breath and let’s start gliding through the whole post- Why are you need increase heat in Gro...

What light is best for seedling growth?

WHY WOULD I WANT A GROW LIGHT FOR SEEDLINGS? Seedlings need both even lighting and proper temperatures to ensure vigorous, strong growth. Spring months are often unpredictable. Your home may have varying degrees of sunlight and temperatures that can affect growth rates of plants. One trick is to keep your seeds facing the window so they get the length of daylight they need. With a grow light you can grow anywhere without worry of seasonal changes or window placements. You also can set up a room, or a small tent to support your seedlings as they grow- and deter your pets (or children) from making a mess of your young plants. Why You Should Use Grow Lights For Seedlings An excellent way to make sure that your seedlings would grow healthy is to use  grow lights  instead of relying on natural lights alone. If you want to ensure rapid, healthy growth of your seedlings after germination then using grow lights can make all the difference. If you’re trying to grow multiple seed...
