Growing cannabis or weed at home by using indoor grow tent is picking up in many countries and many people are using different kinds of growing methods that are different from the traditional methods. Many of the farmers are also choosing to grow their weed indoors rather than outdoors. Some use methods like hydroponics while others use soil. Weed needs nutrients and water in order to grow into healthy high yielding plants. Majority of the plants need soil to grow and top soil is mostly the one that has all the nutrients that feed the plants. Other elements found in top soil are clay, organic remains and rock particles. However when it comes to growing weed, there is a lot more to consider than just the nutrients found on top soil. Some of the things that make the soil are its texture, nutrient makeup, pH level and drainage capabilities. These traits work well with almost every other plant but weed growth needs much more than these traits. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANNABIS...

Medical benefits of marijuana You will be surprised to know why studies have been done on this herb, and for your favor, here is the list of 20 medical benefits of marijuana you probably never knew! Slow and stop cancer cells from spreading It was found in the study, published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, that Cannabidiol has the ability to stop cancer by turning off a gene called Id-1. [1] In 2007, researchers at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, reported that CBD may prevent cancer from spreading. The researchers experimented on breast cancer cells in the lab that had high level of Id-1, and treated them with cannabidiol. The outcome was rather positive, the cells had decreased Id-1 expression, and were less aggressive spreaders. In fact, the American Association for Cancer Research has found that marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in brain, breast, and lungs considerately.

Growing from seed is all about the quality of your seeds. Plants will never be better than the seeds they grew from. Back in the day, there weren’t any seed shops, so seeds were saved from exceptional buds, but it was all a crapshoot with a lot of trial and error. Luckily, now we know better. Starting from seed isn’t difficult and you don’t need to be an experienced gardener, but the process is a journey in stages, not a direct flight. Cannabis plants are perfect for growing from seed because they have a short life cycle. That being said, be prepared to check your plants every day for moisture, insects, diseases, nutrient deficiencies and light. Germination is the process in which a new plant begins to grow from a seed. Also referred to as “popping,” germination is the very first step in starting your cannabis garden. When acquiring seeds, you want to make sure they are matured and that they appear dark brown with lighter accents and a hard feel. You don’t want a seed that feels ...

The gardener determines the degree of difficulty in cannabis growing. Some have the patience, experience, and education to get it right. Others struggle with their “farms” and soon give up. Some cannabis strains demand more care than others. Some climates do better than others. And, all require some investment in time and equipment. Step 1: Designate a cannabis grow ‘room’ or space The first step in setting up your personal cannabis grow is creating a suitable space in which to do it. This space doesn’t need to be the typical grow “room; it can be in a closet, grow tent , cabinet, spare room, or a corner in an unfinished basement. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to tailor your equipment (and plants) to fit the space. Step2: Choose Your Light Grow lights provide the marijuana plants the light they need to thrive and reproduce. Quality lighting in the grow room is imperative to a good grow. It is a wise idea to invest as much money as you can comfortably afford to spend on ...

What Is A Carbon Filter & What Does It Do? Simply put, a carbon filter is a unit which sucks in air and is designed to filter it. Activated carbon, usually in the form of charcoal, is one of the best odor absorbers out there, plus it also has the ability to absorb a lot of airborne pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and other such things too. They often come in the shape of a cylinder and contain activated carbon. Now, you can purchase carbon filters with the air fans included, and separate fans and carbon filters too. However, you do need a fan to either suck or push air through the filter. The bottom line is that if you have a grow room and you want to reduce odors, and reduce the risk of disease, a carbon filter is a big time grow room requirement. Carbon filter size calculator When using a carbon filter for grow tent or grow room it’s recommended to get a filter that will match the area of the intended grow. You will also want to clean the air a certain amo...

Introduction to the Cannabis Flowering Stage During the phase of life known as the vegetative stage (the first stage of life for marijuana), a cannabis plant grows about how you’d expect… like a weed! In the vegetative stage a cannabis plant only grows new stems and leaves, and can grow several inches a day with the added ability to recover from just about anything! Even if you run into major problems in the vegetative stage, you can bring your plant back from the brink of death simply by addressing the problem and giving your plant some TLC. In the vegetative stage, your cannabis plant only grows stems and leaves and is resistant to problems. It grows like a weed! DIFFERENT STAGES OF FLOWERING CANNABIS Stage 1: Entering The Cannabis Flowering Stage To introduce your plants to this new stage in their life cycle, make sure you are using the right flowering grow lights. Gradually change the light cycles until you reach a 12/12 hours ratio of light and darkness. Again, growing ...

What is an Activated Carbon Filter? Activated carbon filters are small pieces of carbon, typically in granular or powdered block form, that have been treated to be extremely porous. It is so cavernous, in fact, that just one gram of activated carbon can easily have a surface area of 500m2 or higher. Vast surface area enables these carbon filters to adsorb exponentially more contaminants and allergens than traditional carbon. Adsorption is a distinct process where organic compounds in the air or water react chemically with the activated carbon, which causes them to stick to the filter. The more porous the activated carbon is, the more contaminants it will capture. These filters are most notably used to remove hazardous compounds in home air purification systems. HOW LONG DOES ACTIVATED CARBON LAST? The Activated Carbon filter is a very important air filter in all the air purifier systems, but it can only last for a short time. Typical Activated carbon filter (or Charcoal filter...

If you are a gardener, your concern is getting a higher yield and a better harvest. In most cases, we are worried if the plants are getting the required amount of sunlight. This is why  HPS bulbs  were made to ensure your plants get the right amount of light. What exactly is HPS technology? High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) is a light technology that was made to help cultivate plants indoors. The technology was invented in 1964 and many gardeners prefer it because it provides a powerful light to grow plants well. The light is effective for blooming, flowering or fruiting crops. How HPS light works? HPS grow light  works by using ballast, which creates a pulse that stirs the gas in the bulbs or lamps. The ballast first ignites the xenon gas, which in turn generates a flow of electrons. The electrons heat up the arc producing a pale blue light. After this, the arc vapors mercury into gas generating a deeper blue color. Finally, the sodium gas vapors turn the arc into a ye...
