Autoflower Myths and Tips Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Autoflowering cannabis seeds are becoming increasingly popular among modern marijuana grower, and it just so happens that our resident PotCast host is somewhat of an expert on these non-photoperiod cannabis strains.

As the name suggests, autoflower seeds are cannabis seeds that reach the flowering stage automatically, regardless of light cycles. Autoflower cannabis plants do require light, however, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that they don't require sleep time. Meaning they could actually survive with 24 hours of light if that is what you wished.

Having a fair bit of experience growing autoflowers, Kronic looks to breakdown some of the things he has learned and offers tips to help growers who are new to autoflowers or are having problems growing them. Furthermore, there is a lot of incorrect information out there on autoflowering seeds and Kronic makes it his mission with this PotCast to differentiate between fact and fiction.

Sugars, Trichomes, and all about Resin! Jun 24, 2020

When it comes to producing that sweet, psychoactive THC then you must look no further than those fine crystals on your cannabis plants; trichomes!

Trichomes are the tiny little white hairs you will find all over your cannabis plants - on the buds, stems, roots, and leaves they are very small but in large quantities are easily noticeable. Trichomes store the THC and CBD - you will be able to notice which ones store this as they will be significantly bigger and more bulbous and will be found on the buds of your cannabis plants. Trichomes at the root of the cannabis plants are used to absorb nutrients, minerals, and water and they are very small, microscopic trichomes.

The endocannabinoid system manages and controls some of the human body's key biological functions such as mood, fertility, pain, memory and appetite, the last one being something all smokers should know all about. When humans ingest cannabinoids, they act somewhat like keys, unlocking the body's receptors and allowing for certain elements of perception and feeling to be altered. THC and CBD are perhaps the two most famous cannabinoids, they are compounds found in cannabis.

Items To Purchase for Newbies Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Starting out growing cannabis is arguably the most difficult stage relative to growing experience. Everyone remembers their first grow for a number of reasons, perhaps the excitement of starting to grow your own marijuana whether for recreational or medical use but also the fear, chiefly the fear of messing up and risking wasting your time and money.

A solid foundation is crucial to any grow, and the first step is buying your equipment. It is important that you take into account the space in which you are growing when buying equipment as this will dictate the size of the items you are buying and also the quantities. So, if you're buying a grow tent then ensure that it is able to fit into the space you have designated for your grow. Or if you're buying lights or fans, then ensure that you have all the correct sockets and outputs to supply your growing equipment with all the juice it needs.

Also, thinking about the nutrients that your plants will need throughout the different stages of the growth cycle allows you to plan ahead. A lot of soils come with pre-mixed nutrients that provide your plants with basic nutrients needed for the early stages.

On top of all of this, be mindful of your budget, look for areas where you can save so that you have more income to invest in areas where you require something a bit more expensive. Overall, ensure that you are not breaking the bank and that your marijuana grow remains affordable so that you can sustain it.

Cannabis Plant Training Techniques Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

There are a lot of different marijuana training techniques to help growers boost their cannabis plant's harvests and subsequent yields. Some training techniques are a little bit more difficult to employ than others, it is important that you do not accidentally harm your cannabis plant too seriously when trying out training techniques.

For example, low-stress training (LST) is one of the most common methods of cannabis plant training which involves physically spreading your plant's stems and branches horizontally to expose a larger surface area to the light.

High-stress training (HST) is a similar technique to LST, however, this one is a bit more difficult as it requires that you physically harm your plant by bending and, in some cases, snapping the branches so that they lay as close to flat on the ground. HST serves a similar purpose to LST but it is a bit more extreme. HST requires a certain amount of effort to get right, however, growers will see a substantial increase in their yields as a result.

There are a whole bunch of other marijuana training techniques, Kronic outlines a number of them here in great detail, however, if you are yearning for more information then head over to Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s blog for further educational cultivation content.

Cultivating your own cannabis is extremely rewarding, not only does it allow you to have financial freedom in terms of the cannabis you consume but the task itself is also very mentally rewarding.

Figuring out the best microbes for cannabis can be tricky, differentiating between good and bad bacteria for marijuana plants can be particularly difficult for novice growers sometimes, luckily for you Kronic is here to help show you the way!

But microbes aren't the only thing that impacts the cannabis grow cycle. Kronic isn't just stopping with bacteria, he's also giving a crash course on cannabis nutrients, suggesting what nutrients you will need to use for the different marijuana plant growing stages. Kronic offers a great selection of products you can buy to ensure you don't run into any problems with cannabis nutrient deficiency.
