Lighting is one of the biggest issues for indoor growers. Not only are there certain light cycles that must be strictly adhered to, but when the lights are on, the plants need as much light as possible – and that’s where reflectivity comes in. Continue reading
When it comes to growing marijuana, it’s typically the female plants that get all the glory. Females produce buds for consuming and seeds for growing, but male plants have their role in the process, too. Continue reading

Once someone has become a master grower, they can then work towards being a master breeder. While growers are simply taking seeds and growing them into beautiful plants, they are growing something that nature, or someone else, has actually created. Continue reading
Low stress training (LST) is a method used by cannabis growers when they want to increase their yield and take control over the shape and height of their plant. When it comes to training cannabis, there are low stress and high stress methods. Low stress training gently manipulates the cannabis plants, while high stress training involves more aggressive techniques that can ultimately cause stress to the plant. Continue reading
There are a couple of tried and true ways to train a cannabis plant to grow in a certain shape or to a certain height. Super cropping is a term given to a high-stress training technique that deliberately hurts the plant, but not kill it entirely. Growers use the super cropping technique for a few reasons. Super cropping marijuana allows lower leaves to get the same amount of light as higher leaves, which in turn produces more growth sites and better bud yields. Continue reading
