Lighting: Choose LED bulbs, HPS or CFLs (LEDs are energy efficient and produce less heat). Ventilation system: An exhaust fan and an activated carbon filter are essential to clean the air and reduce odors. Recirculation fan: Promotes air circulation and prevents mold. Thermo- and hygrometer: For monitoring temperature and humidity. Timers: For automating light and ventilation cycles. Substrate and pots: soil, coconut fiber or hydroponic systems. Fertilizer:...
Cannabis cuttings are vegetative offshoots of an existing plant that are used to produce genetically identical offspring. Compared to growing from seed, cuttings offer consistent quality, faster development, and a higher success rate. To take cannabis cuttings, you cut healthy shoots from the mother plant, use rooting hormone to encourage root growth, and place them in a suitable growing medium. High humidity, moderate temperatures, and gentle light are crucial for success. Typically, cuttings take 7 to 14 days to form roots. Growing cuttings is a simple method for efficient and rapid propagation of cannabis, allowing one to obtain plants with...
Photoperiod cannabis strains are the classic variants of cannabis that initiate their flowering phase based on the hours of light. Unlike autoflowering strains, they require specific light cycles to flower. This post will give you a comprehensive guide on how to successfully grow photoperiod cannabis. What are photoperiod cannabis strains? Photoperiod cannabis differs from autoflowering strains in that the flowering phase is only triggered when the hours of light change. In nature, this happens when the days get shorter. For indoor growers, this is done by switching the light cycle to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness....
Autoflowering cannabis is becoming increasingly popular among hobbyists and professional growers. These special cannabis strains are characterized by their ability to flower regardless of the light cycle. This makes them ideal for novice growers and experienced growers alike. In this post, we explain step by step how you can successfully grow autoflowering cannabis. What are autoflower cannabis strains? Autoflowering strains are derived from the Cannabis Ruderalis plant, which occurs naturally in colder climates such as Russia and Eastern Europe. They have the unique ability to initiate flowering automatically, regardless of the hours of light, unlike photoperiod cannabis strains that require...
