When it comes to growing cannabis plants, the most important factor is the quality of the seed used to start the plant. Regular seed is essential in ensuring the plant has all the traits it needs to produce good quality buds. While that is the case for many consumers, there are also the occasional super advantages you’ll only receive when you buy the whole line of regular seeds instead. Eliminates flowering time. Feminizing cannabis seeds is never a walk in the park, and usually does not come cheap.
Regular seeds eliminate the need for tedious hosing off or a water hose, which means more time to focus on your plants other important tasks such as getting them well established and making sure they don’t get stressed by too much heat or moisture. If the plants flower prematurely it can cause them to wilt, die or get moldy, all of which is not good for your plants health. Indica and ruderalis varieties often flower twice as fast as cannabis plants from hybrid parents, which is why they are more popular in indoor gardens. They also rarely suffer from bugs, diseases or frost.
In contrast, regular seed banks suffer from frequent problems that can adversely affect the health of your plants. Heavy watering can damage the root system and prevent the plant from absorbing water and nutrients. Too much heat can kill the plant instantly. Too much moisture or cold weather can destroy delicate roots. All of these issues occur less often with feminized cannabis seeds.
Hybrid marijuana plants can be hardy, but they still have their growing limitations. They do not work well in extreme temperatures, so it is important to find a location that is suitable for your particular type. They also do not do well in extreme conditions, so they are better suited to indoor growing. The best place to grow them is in a location where they will receive regular, but not constant, sunlight. This will help them flourish while avoiding too much heat or cold.
A new trend in indoor growing is to separate female and male flowers. By separating the flowering buds in half, you can control the amount of time each flower spends on blooming. After flowering, you can separate the stems and allow the flowers to dry out entirely. This will reduce the amount of stress caused by the plant, which can help the overall quality and yield of the crop.
Regular seed saving is important if you plan on starting another line of cannabis cultivation. While it is easier to save seeds that are resistant to disease and insects, it is also less economical to grow your plants from seed. Regular marijuana seeds are generally more expensive than feminized plants because it takes time and effort to cultivate them properly. When you grow regular weed seeds, you can simply harvest them and replant another plant rather than having to replant a whole plant. Save money by growing more plants than you need at one time, but use the extra to invest in a better garden soil with compost and fertilizer.
Autoflowering plants is a growing trend in indoor growing that makes use of hoses and pumps to provide air circulation and facilitate water runoff. These types of systems work well for perennials that require less care. If you plan on harvesting these plants, you can feed them throughout the season to increase their yield. However, you should avoid harvesting during hot spells to avoid drying out the plants. Wait for cooler weather to harvest your perennials.
Autoflowering plants work best with four different lights; four hours of high-light, two hours of low-light, and a full day of regular-light. If you have an idea about the time of day your plants will be growing best, you can determine the best time to plant them. Make sure to place the marijuana plant in a good spot, but not so close to a structure or person that can get in the way. The plant should be about six to eight inches away from any obstruction, structure, or person. After it has bloomed for the recommended time, remove it from the area and put it in a plastic bag. This will help contain the plant and protect it from pests and poor soil conditions during the germination process.
