Adding molasses during flowering is one of those old-school grow tricks that still gets talked about today. It is simple, cheap, and easy to find in many stores. Because of this, many growers become curious about it when their plants begin to flower. Flowering is an important stage because this is when the plant shifts […]
Germination is the first stage in the life of a cannabis plant. It begins when a dry seed takes in water and starts to wake up. Inside the seed, a small young plant is waiting for the right conditions. When the seed has enough moisture, warmth, and air, the shell begins to soften. Then a […]
Flowering a pot plant means the cannabis plant has entered the stage where it starts to make flowers, often called buds. This is one of the most important parts of the cannabis life cycle. Before this stage, the plant spends most of its energy growing roots, stems, branches, and leaves. That earlier stage is called […]
Top dressing is a simple way to feed cannabis plants through the soil. Instead of mixing nutrients deep into the pot or pouring strong liquid fertilizer into the root zone, the grower places compost, worm castings, dry amendments, or other organic materials on the top layer of the soil.

Indoor growers often look for the best yielding indoor strains because indoor space is limited. A grow tent, closet, spare room, or small grow area can only hold a certain number of plants. Each plant also needs enough light, air, root space, and room to grow. Because of this, many growers want cannabis strains that […]
Boron deficiency in marijuana is a plant health problem that can slow growth, weaken new shoots, and make young leaves look twisted or damaged. Boron is a micronutrient, which means the plant only needs it in very small amounts. Even though the plant does not need much boron, the nutrient still plays an important role […]
