Defoliation of cannabis is an important technique that optimizes growth, improves light distribution, and allows for a better harvest. It increases the quality and quantity of flowers when done correctly. This method offers benefits such as improved light penetration, better air circulation, and targeted energy redirection. Key times for defoliation are the vegetative phase to shape the plant and the flowering phase after the stretch phase to encourage flower production. The technique involves removing large fan leaves that shade lower flowers and retaining sufficient foliage for photosynthesis. Tips for beginners include observing the plants, being patient during the recovery period,...

Cannabis Diamonds, high-purity THC crystals, are produced through a complex chemical process. They consist mainly of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), which only becomes psychoactive when heated. The production process involves several steps: Extraction: Obtaining a highly concentrated cannabis oil using solvents such as butane. Separation: Purification of the oil (winterization) and separation of terpenes and THCA. Crystallization: Formation of THCA crystals through temperature and pressure control. Cleaning: Removal of remaining contaminants using solvents. Optional recombination: Backmixing of terpenes for improved aroma. Manufacturing requires strict safety standards, professional equipment and legal compliance. Cannabis Diamonds offer consumers a pure, potent experience, but are...
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....
