Getting a good yield can be hard but following the requirements can lead to a good harvest. It requires a lot of commitment, resources and also buying the right seeds from a pot seed bank. Here are tips on growing high-quality marijuana.
Give Your Plant Enough Light
When growing marijuana indoors you need to provide proper light. You have to make up for the absence of natural sunlight. You should get high-quality lights, reflectors, and ballasts. Invest in powerful grow lights such as LEC, LED, and HPS to produce large and dense buds.
LED light is suitable for feminizes seeds because of its low energetic waste. Bright light is important for the growth of buds in the flowering stage. Do not forget to change the bulbs at least twice a year. Learn how to regulate the light, excess light can damage your plant and little light can do the same.
Water and Humidity
Domestic water that has chlorine and fluoride should be avoided. The chemicals are known to kill the plants. It is good to invest in filtration or reverse osmosis system for irrigation. Change the filters frequently for better water quality.
Other growers prefer drip irrigation, the plants grow fast and healthy. With drip irrigation, the plants do not need close supervision because water and nutrients drip slowly to the plant’s root zone in a regulated manner. A higher humidity during the vegetative stage can reduce the salt levels and giving a healthy growth. The humidity should not drop below 40% to prevent causing deficiencies.
Know the Phases of Growth
Marijuana has different requirements in each growing cycle. In the early growing stages, the plants will require a lot of nitrogen while during the last stages the plant will not require nitrogen. Giving a lot of nitrogen in the last stages will result in a metallic taste.
In each stage of your cycle, make sure you know what you feed the plant. Keep the nutrients level low to improve the taste of your final buds. Make sure you give the right ratios of nutrients during the flowering stage to increase the quality of your bud. Phosphorus is important for flower production. Potassium will increase the size and density of flowers.
Know the Genetics
Find out the great cannabis strains, there are plenty of strains to choose from. You can do the search on the internet and buy from a reputable seller. There are online seed banks that have strains that produce high-quality buds for medical marijuana.
Always ask about the genetics of the strains from the seller. Clones are good genetics but make sure you get them from a reputable dealer. Good seeds are expensive but they will save you the cost of plenty of requirements during cultivation.
