How Much Marijuana Can I Yield by using 8×8 Grow Tent? 420 Guide

How much marijuana can you yield indoors? Lights are of the utmost importance when you’re growing indoors. Experienced growers can produce about a gram of marijuana per watt of light (1 gram = 0,035 oz). So, a 400-watt HPS grow light can potentially translate to 400 grams or 14 oz of dried, usable cannabis. Likewise, a grow tent for marijuana with 1200 watts of light can yield 1.2 kilograms or 42 oz of cannabis. Having the right equipment, adequate nutrient solutions, beneficial air quality, and other valuable factors is important for producing the highest yields possible. Making sure the plants have space to grow is also key.

How to Make Cannabinoid CBD Oil? 420 Guide for Beginners

How to Make CBD Oil Simply: Use a Carrier Oil Solvent The method we’ll discuss here extracts cannabinoids (referred to as CBD from here on out for simplicity’s sake) through an easy process that requires little skill and relatively little time spent standing over a pot. There is another, more complicated (and potentially dangerous) method using alcohol as a solvent, but we feel like that deserves its own article (it isn’t for everyone), so we’ll save it for another time. Here, we’ll focus on a much more accessible method with fewer safety requirements: infusing CBD into a carrier oil. CO2 Extraction This method is one of the most common ones, it is also very safe. Normally CO2 is a gas. However, with the help of elevated temperature and high pressure, it reaches a supercritical state, in which its density is like that of a liquid, and its viscosity and surface tension are like that of a gas. This unusual physical substance (fluid) is an excellent non-polar solvent. It allows for e...

How to deal with the pest control problem of growing marijuana?

Any grower who has dealt with a pest infestation in their cannabis garden will tell you that recovering from it is an uphill battle. Cleaning a grow space mid-cycle is painstaking, requiring hours of additional labor alongside increased costs all for a damaged crop. Once a pest outbreak has occurred in your garden, plants are much less likely to produce to their full potential as they have been spending excessive amounts of energy protecting themselves. The stress will stunt a plant’s growth and vigor, resulting in lower yields and damaged buds. However, pest-proofing your garden from the start is simple and easy. Below are a few strategies that will help give you the upper hand against pests. How to Prevent Cannabis Pests? Cannabis grown indoors may not be subject to these animal threats, but the risk of an infestation from insect or fungus pests is much greater. Since fungus spores are microscopic and insects like mites and aphids are also incredibly small, preventative methods inclu...

Both THC and CBD have unique medicinal properties, some of which are amplified when both compounds are present, such as pain management. CBD-dominant or balanced THC/CBD strains tend to be the best choices for consumers prone to anxiety, as CBD can help curb the negative, paranoid side effects some consumers experience with high-THC strains.

What’s the Best Growing Medium for cannabis? 420 Guide for Beginners

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 BETWEE...
