Yield is what cannabis growers call their harvest. Indoor growers tend to measure it per metre of growing space.  Outdoor growers tend to measure it in grams per plant.  There are a lot of factors which can influence yield.  This makes it very difficult to give broad estimates of how much bud you can expect to collect.  As a rough rule of thumb, however, these days 400g/2 to 500g/m2 would be a baseline estimate for indoor marijuana strains.  Similarly, 500g per plant to 600g per plant would be a baseline estimate for outdoor marijuana strains.  Continue reading →

Sativa strains are known for their uplifting and energetic effects. Unlike indicas, which are best for lazing around on the couch while watching Netflix and chilling, sativas are known for the opposite. If you need the motivation to clean your house from top to bottom, run around town on errands, or just want to get into that super creative head space, a sativa is going to help you do it. But what if you want to increase those effects by partaking of some of the most pure sativas available? Those are hard to come by, as most sativas today come from a hybrid marijuana plant that include properties of sativas and indicas. So those looking for super pure sativas have to find a landrace sativa. Continue reading →

Northern Lights, known as Nl on the strains periodic table, is one of the most famous marijuana strains of all time. Even those that haven’t consumed it have at least heard about it, and are waiting for the day they’ll be able to try it for themselves. Nearly a pure indica, Northern Lights buds are packed tightly, but not so tight they’re susceptible to mold and rot; and they’re covered in resin and golden hairs. Being a heavily indica-dominant strain, Northern Lights brings a very sedative high, making it perfect for those suffering from insomnia or anxiety. Continue reading →

One of the best things about growing an autoflowering marijuana strain (or several) is that they are not dependent on light cycles for growth. Plants like Grand Daddy Purp Auto or Blue Dream Auto will start to flower when they reach a certain age or maturity. So as a grower, you don’t need to worry about always turning the lights on or off at a certain time. But still, a cannabis plant is still a plant, and so it’s going to need some type of light in order to thrive. So what light cycles will these plants need to get the best results? Continue reading →
