What are Regular Cannabis Seeds?
Regular cannabis seeds produce marijuana plants without an autoflowering or feminized trait. That means they can produce male plants and require a change in the light cycle to flower. Additionally, regular cannabis seeds are made naturally via a male cannabis plant pollinating a female. This is why regular ... Read more
What are Photoperiod cannabis seeds?
Photoperiod describes the number of light hours a plant receives each day. This is important because the number of light hours dictates the growth stage of photoperiod plants. As the plant receives less light during a 24 hrs period, it will start to change her growth cycle from ... Read more
How Water pH Levels Affect Cannabis Seed Germination
Potential hydrogen or pH is a scale used to measure acidity and alkalinity in objects. Growers use it to measure the soil and water they provide for their cannabis plants. PH plays an important role in soil quality and contributes to a plant’s water and nutrient uptake(1). The ... Read more
Burping Weed: Important step while curing your bud
If you have ever cured cannabis before, odds are you’ve had to burp your jars during the process. But have you ever wondered why burping weed is important? The short and sweet of it is that doing so removes the buildup of carbon dioxide and moisture in the ... Read more
Does hydrogen peroxide help with germination?
Growers who have handled hydrogen peroxide before know how potentially dangerous it is for plants. In high doses, it can cause cell damage. But, H2O2 is something that plants also produce during photosynthesis. It acts like a hormone that regulates growth and development. In fact, H2O2 may potentially ... Read more
What is Freeze Drying
Before we get down to the brass tacks of freeze drying weed, it’s important to know that freeze-drying is not the same as putting your buds in a freezer. Freeze-drying cannabis is a more effective way of long-term storage as opposed to freezing cannabis. It ensures a longer ... Read more
What is Jar Rot, and what can I do to prevent it?
Despite what its name may imply, jar rot is not a form of decay in your cannabis. Instead, mold develops from improperly dried and cured buds. How does this happen? The environment and conditions for storage can be unsuitable for cannabis in many ways, ranging from insufficient air ... Read more
Are plastic bags and containers a good idea for long-term weed storage?
Storing weed in plastic bags is a popular method for many because it’s easier to carry on you than, say, a mason jar. The widespread use of plastic bags for weed has led to a few nicknames: turkey bags, zips (short for ziplock bags), and baggies, just to ... Read more
Where does weed grow naturally
Cannabis, like every other cultivated crop, started off as a naturally occurring plant. Feral cannabis plants are hardy plants that produce seeds that can lay dormant for 7-10 years. But these wild plants don’t nearly have as much THC as the strains we cultivate today. Where did the ancestors ... Read more
Trellising cannabis
Trellising cannabis is one of many ways for growers to increase their yield. Like learning optimal watering schedules and nutrient feeding, trellising helps produce healthier plants that support larger colas. Specifically, cannabis trellising is often used to support the branches of your plants. The question, though, is how? In ... Read more
What are feminized seeds?
Feminized seeds differ from regular seeds because they only produce female plants. They are the ideal seed type for growers who cultivate marijuana plants just for their buds. How is it possible for seeds to only grow female plants? We answer those and other things people ask about ... Read more
What is Sinsemilla?
Are you looking for highly potent weed that doesn’t have seeds? If so, you need to try Sinsemilla. No, it’s not the latest cannabis strain. Sinsemilla is an older breeding technique that ensures there won’t be any seeds in the flowers of your female cannabis plant. Nowadays, the ... Read more
