Whether you're a beginner grower or this is even your first time growing cannabis, there's no reason why you can't grow cannabis like a pro.

In this week's PotCast we will go through some top tips and tricks to help new growers aim for the top. Whether it's mistakes and mishaps to avoid or techniques to produce higher or better or quality yields we've got you covered.

We believe that everyone should have the right to grow their own cannabis and to that end, we don't only want to provide high-quality cannabis seeds, we also look to educate cannabis cultivators. Beginners make mistakes, even some experienced growers make mistakes or experience unfortunate accidents. We like to share information as much as possible, we made mistakes so you don't have to!

How to Prevent NPK and Cal-Mag Deficiencies from Harming your Crops Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

NPK represents Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium; three macronutrients that are essential for any cannabis grow. Without these nutrients, your plants will really struggle. If you have NPK deficiencies, then it is extremely important to solve these and amend your nutrients as quickly as possible to prevent any serious harm to your plants.

Find out a few ways to remedy these problems in this week's PotCast.

That's not all we're going to look at though, in the second portion of this episode we will look at another common deficiency, this one being Cal-Mag deficiency. This refers to a mix of both calcium deficiency and magnesium deficiency.

If you want to learn how to solve any common nutrient deficiency, then this week's PotCast is for you!

How to Stop Heat Stress & Light Stress from Damaging your Plants Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

These are two problems you may encounter when growing cannabis indoors. If you set up your grow room to have the correct climate then the chances of you encountering either problem is less likely. That being said, either problem can affect any cannabis grow and it doesn't take much for heat stress or light stress to become a nuisance

When it comes to heat stress, cannabis will show the bulk of its symptoms relatively early and the easiest way to tell if your plants are heat-stressed is by checking the leaves as they may curl or wilt or in some cases have brown edges.

Light stress cannabis plants will display similar symptoms to heat stress in the sense that the leaves will be the most obviously affected areas. The leaves may begin to lose some of their green colors and appear lighter in color.

Find out how to treat and prevent both of these growing pains in this week's PotCast.

All About Hydroponics and Deep Water Culture Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

Hydroponics is fast becoming a favorite medium for cannabis growers everywhere! While soil is still very much at the forefront of the industry for Homegrowers, increased availability and accessibility to hydroponics kits and nutrients has seen a substantial increase in the number of people using this system at home.

In the first section of this week's PotCast we will give an overview of using cannabis hydroponics systems. We will look at setting up your hydroponics system - everything from what you need to buy, how much it will cost, and how you actually set one up. From here we will also look at some of the benefits of using hydroponics for cannabis, some of the different hydroponic systems, and also maintenance of your hydroponics system.

Next, we will look at a more specific form of hydroponics, Deep Water Culture (DWC) which is arguably the most popular form of hydroponics among cannabis growers and gardeners in general. DWC is arguably the easiest hydroponic system to use and provides a lot of benefits. If you're thinking about moving from soil to hydro, then DWC is definitely the place to start!

How To Prevent Bud Rot and Fungal Control Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

Bud rot is a serious issue when it comes to the latter stages of growing marijuana. Bud rot develops from necroted biomass growing spores that eventually become viable and develop a mold that rots away the plant.

This can happen from insects like caterpillars that eat away the insides of the stems or the insides of the bud. This type of bud rot is generally outdoor cultivation issue only, as most indoor growers aren’t going to have caterpillars in their grow room.

Find out the causes of bud rot indoors and how to deal with it by listening to the PotCast!

Fungus is something that no grower wants to deal with, whether it’s powdery mildew, fungus gnats, an actual fungus like botrytis which a lot of growers actually call bud rot. So for those that don’t know botrytis is generally the spore or fungus that rots your plant away to a brown almost grey-like color.

Are you experiencing either of these problems with your plants? We got you covered!

How To Secure Your Grow Room and Mask The Odor Jan 13, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode of the Homegrown PotCast is all about the grow room, not so much about what happens in the grow room but how to stop unwanted attention or even visitors.

In the first part, we will look at securing the grow room to keep it safe. There are many reasons to keep your grow room secure and it just makes sense in general for you to ensure your grow room is not easily accessible by anyone who you don't want in there. Whether you are scared of people stealing your equipment or crops, perhaps even pets or children stumbling upon it by mistake or even general pests and nuisances.

The second part of this week's PotCast follows the same theme as the first and it's all about masking the odor of the grow room. If you're growing weed at home, whether you're trying to be stealthy and super-secretive or not, the last thing you want is for the smell of your crops to escape the confines of the grow room and spread throughout the house or, god forbid, beyond. Find out the best techniques for ensuring the smell of your cannabis plants does not spread too far.

SOG vs SCROG & LST vs HST Dec 30, 2020

Show notes

This week's PotCast is a growing technique special!

We are going to compare different techniques, split into two separate parts. Each part will explore two different techniques which act as counterparts to each other.

First off, we are comparing Sea of Green (SOG) with Screen of Green (SCROG) - these are two techniques that help to maximize both the space you are growing in and also the potential yields that come from your plants. Both techniques are all about cramming as many plants as possible into your grow space.

With SOG, you group plants together tightly which helps them to form a canopy, or sea, of green leaves to help trap light and boost budding. SCROG is similar, only this time you have to place your plants within a screen to bunch them all together. They both serve a similar purpose, but which is better?

Then, in the second part, we are looking at two training techniques that stress out your plants and force them to be more productive. That's right, we are looking at Low-Stress Training (LST) and High-Stress Training (HST) - both of these techniques involve bending the plant's branches to expose more of the stems to light, which in turn allows them to develop more bud sites.

LST is obviously the less rigorous of the two methods and HST can be quite scary if you have never used it before, many growers fear they may snap the branches and harm their plants. Today we are going to look at the risks and rewards of both and determine which is better for your plants!

Transplanting Marijuana Safely & Pros and Cons of Growing Cannabis From Clones Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

The Homegrown PotCast returns this week with an in-depth look at two great cannabis cultivation topics.

First up is a look at transplanting your cannabis plants, more specifically, how you avoid the common pitfalls which can harm some growers plants. Transplanting is the process whereby growers move their young, seedling cannabis plants into bigger pots to further facilitate their growth. This is an essential, early step in the growth cycle of cannabis plants.

Next up is a look at what it's like to grow cannabis from a clone as opposed to from seed. Most growers tend to grow their cannabis plants from seeds, it's more natural and generally allows you to do more and have more control over your plants growth from start to finish. That being said, growing from clones is pretty popular at present, but is it worth it? Listen and find out!
