Grow Easy: Organic crops for pots and small plots

Product Information

Many new growers cut their cannabis down too early in excitement, which is a huge waste after spending so long caring for the plant.

Some cannabis strains love high amounts of nutrients, while others are actually very sensitive and will do best with half the amount of nutrients as other strains. Because your plant is at its tallest/biggest during the flowering stage, it can be difficult to provide enough light to the whole plant during this stage, especially when growing indoors. These growing mediums do not have any nutrients, instead you hand-water the plants just like you would in soil, and provide all the nutrients in the water.

French Breakfast and Malaga Violet are our two favorites, simply add the seed to a bed of soil cover and water. Air circulation – Make sure cannabis gets a constant supply of fresh air so plants get the CO2 they need to grow, and keep air moving so there are no hot spots and leaves are always moving/rustling. They are a highly varied and versatile group, distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height. Having a light period that lasts 18+ hours each day will make cannabis think that it’s summer/grow time.

Cannabis plants keep getting bigger and bigger with long days, and start making buds when they get long nights. Getting seeds online will allow you to purchase feminized (all-female) seeds and will also let you pick the exact strain to match your size and time requirements. The fact is that some garden plants are easier to grow from seed than others - but your neighbour probably knows that already! There is some speculation that minor stress to the plant is part of what causes the increased bud quality at harvest from LEDs. One of the biggest benefits of planting your seed directly in the growing medium is you don’t have to worry about moving young seedlings.Indoor growers can keep cannabis plants in the vegetative stage for as long or short as they want by providing at least 18 hours of light a day.

Sometimes coco coir is already broken up to use ready directly for planting (bagged coco potting mixes include Canna Coco Coir). Initially looking after the grounds and coordinating the plant trials, I now support the web team offering horticultural advice online.Starting with a cannabis clone can save you a couple of weeks to a month compared to starting with seeds because they have a head start on growth. It’s important to check on your clone frequently during its first 24 hours to make sure there isn’t any unforeseen problems such as it tipping over.

The amount of “flowering stretch” is dependent on your strain, which is why it’s important to have picked a strain that suits your needs. Just remember that there are two stages of life for cannabis, first the vegetative stage, and then the flowering stage (which is followed by harvest). Make sure to let a coco coir brick sit in water for at least an hour first – this way you know it’s fully expanded before you start rinsing.Keep in mind that you should treat the nutrient feeding chart that comes with your nutrients as the maximum amount to provide to your plants. If temperature feels too hot for your hand after 10 seconds, it’s too hot for your cannabis and you need to take steps to bring the temperature lower. There used to be myths and tricks on how to tell male from female plants from a young age, but none actually works 100% of the time. I have tried this method with little success, it’s a difficult thing to coordinate from start to finish.
