Like all plants, cannabis plants are susceptible to diseases and pests. Early detection and the right countermeasures are crucial to securing yields and ensuring plant health. In this blog post, we look at the most common diseases in cannabis plants and how to combat them effectively. 1. Powdery mildew Symptoms: • White, powdery coating on leaves and stems. • Leaves may turn yellow and die. Cause: Powdery mildew is caused by fungal spores that spread quickly in a damp, poorly ventilated environment. Fighting: • Prevention : Good air circulation, optimal humidity (40–60%). • Treatment : Remove and dispose of infected...

Potassium deficiency is a common problem in cannabis cultivation that can severely affect plant health and yields. Typical symptoms include yellow or burnt leaf edges (marginal necrosis), dark spots, curling leaves, and stunted growth. Main causes are: An incorrect pH value that blocks potassium absorption. Nutrient blockage due to excess of other minerals. Incorrect or unbalanced fertilization. overwatering. Treatment options: Check and adjust the pH value (optimal: 6.0–7.0 for soil, 5.5–6.5 for hydroponics). Use appropriate potassium supplements or balanced fertilizers. Flush the medium if nutrient blockage occurs. Avoid waterlogging and improve drainage. Prevention: Regular pH and EC checks and the...

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....
