When a COB LED package is energized, it appears more like a lighting panel than multiple individual lights as usually the case with other LED packages, like when using several SMD LEDs mount...

GROWING CANNABIS INDOORS VS OUTDOORS: DIFFERENCES Growing outdoors usually means more space to work with, plenty of sunshine, free rainwater, better ventilation, and the joy of cultivating in the elements. However, growing outdoors also comes with a set of challenges. Plants are more vulnerable to pest insects, larger predators, heat waves, and cold snaps. Growing indoors by marijunana grow tents and cannabis grow lights offers plants more shelter, and cultivators are in complete control of the growing environment. They are free to change temperature and humidity settings, and their plants are more concealed. With that said, indoor growers usually have less space at their disposal, less potential for massive yields, and have to splash money on electricity bills to run their setup like HPS grow lights . While growing your marijuana indoors, you will be able to introduce higher levels of CO2 in cannabis grow tent in comparison which in turn will result in bigger buds with hig...

What is a Carbon Filter? Why is it Important? A carbon filter for grow room is an extremely important part of an air purification or filtration system. Carbon has a number of properties as a chemical but as a substance one of its most important properties is that it has a very absorbent nature and it is this property of carbon that is used in activated carbon filters which help in trapping odours and particulate matters. For a grower, one of the hardest tasks is to keep the bad smell away. Specially, when you don’t want your neighbors to know about this ‘hobby’ of yours. Fortunately, a carbon filter is able to trap all the smelly particles from the air, if air invented across the filter in a proper way. To make that happen, you’ve to deploy exhaust fan(s) to draw air and take that air through the filter before releasing outside. How to Clean Carbon Filter for Grow Room? Mix your cleaning liquid by fill your bucket or pan with hot water and adding 1 cup of dishwashing deterg...

When cultivating cannabis, growers aim to produce a potent, fragrant bud–and ideally, lots of it. Genetics, nutrients, grow mediums, climate, and many other factors are responsible for determining the yield of your garden. The first of those factors, the plant’s genetics, dictate which attributes the plant is capable of expressing, while environmental factors are what help coax them out in the growing process. 1.Strawberry Banana Strawberry Banana is a winner due to its potency, smell, and yield. Its effects are strong, with test results ranging from 22-26 percent THC content. Strawberry Banana is a hybrid that is 30% sativa and 70% indica. Strawberry Banana grows vigorously and is somewhat on the larger side for an indica. It will need training and pruning to make sure all of the plant gets enough light. It’s best to grow this strain indoors because it doesn’t like humidity, but you can also grow it outdoors if you live somewhere dry. 2.Northern Lights (90% Indica, 10...

Of all the cannabis extraction techniques, rosin pressing is the simplest. And the most confusing. You just warm up bud and squeeze out the sticky, right? Easy! So why are so many budding new pressers so confused? And why, of all the ways of extracting oil, are the techniques of rosin the most variable — and debatable? In this quick guide, we dip into the maddening, simple-as-shit art form that is rosin pressing. You get some valuable information. Based on extensive pressing and anecdotal conversations with hundreds of our customers, we feel that we've honed in on some these pressure guidelines that will help most users achieve excellent results with their rosin press . It is currently our belief that the optimal pressure range for pressing rosin is between 300 and 1000 psi, at the bag. Flower will be on the upper end at 600-1000 psi and kief or hash will be on the lower end between 300 and 800 psi. The plate size does NOT factor into these numbers. If you have a 20 ton press a...

Avoid Miracle-Gro Soil for Growing Weed!  Do not use “Miracle-Gro” soil or any soil that has “extended release” nutrients for growing cannabis. These types of soil will continue to release nitrogen to your plant roots for up to 6 months. This can cause deficiencies or burn your cannabis plants in the flowering/budding stage, reducing your overall yields. I have seen growers successively grow cannabis in Miracle Gro, but many of them struggled with nutrient problems in the flowering stage even though plants were healthy throughout the vegetative stage. What soil is good for growing Cannabis? The 3 key things you want from soil that will ensure you grow healthy plants are: decent texture; good drainage; and water retention. Without a loose enough texture, your plants won’t be able to develop strong roots. Without good drainage, you will end up over watering your plants and starving them of oxygen, causing them to wilt. And, conversely, without good water retention, your roots wil...

Cooking with Cannabis; Crockpot Canna-butter Recipe Cooking with cannabis is a fun way to experience cannabis in its many forms. Making cannabutter isn’t that difficult, but it does take a lot of patience and a bit of know-how to get it just right. Step 1: Grind Up Your Cannabis To start things off,  use a weed scale to measure out 3.5 grams from a larger container of herb. Or use weed ginder to grind 3.5 grams. Next, put the cannabis into a grinder and turn it into a shake texture. Pretty simple so far! (NOTE: Feel free to add a little bit more cannabis, or a little bit less, based on how potent you want your butter to be. After going through the process multiple times you’ll have a more solid idea of what dosage suits your needs best. Also, pay attention to the THC level of the strain you’re using; higher THC levels will result in more potent butter). Step 2:Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 105 degrees Celsius, place the baking sheet in the oven and...

A cannabis grow tent   is an invaluable asset you may require as a cannabis farmer since it helps to create an environment that gives you control over the planting conditions. A grow room cannot work without is a ventilation system to control its internal atmosphere. An exhaust system is responsible for the circulation of air inside and outside the grow room creating conditions that will enable the cannabis plants to thrive. It helps to regulate the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide, which affect photosynthesis that the plants require to grow. Selecting a Grow Tent The key to choosing the optimal grow tent size for your operation is going to depend completely on what you’d like to grow. The size of your marijuana grow tent   will be one of the most important decisions you make. A tent that is too large will have you wasting money on parameters such as the electricity to power lights, fans, pumps, etc. An area that is too small will crowd plants, causing a battle fo...

Which fixture? The number of bulbs will play a role in determining this. You also need to account for the cost of replacing the bulbs (I think it is every 6 months). The 8 bulb fixture uses eught 54w bulbs as an example. Unlike LED grow light , these fixtures will pull close to that amount of power. Let's just round and say 400 watts. The fixture you have will pull 215 watts at full power. Let's call it 200 so the number is nicer. I'll assume you run the light for 10 hours a day. T5: 10 hours x .4kW = 4kWh/day LED: 10 hours x .2kW = 2kWh/day The national average is $0.12/kWh, T5 is $0.48 per day LED is $0.24 per day This doesn't account for additional heat you'd have to remove with your air conditioner if you use t5. Having an efficient grow means a number of things. The more efficient it is, the more you will grow in terms of yield, but the more you will profit since you will also be saving money on energy costs. There are plenty of grow lights that...

If growing cannabis is an art, then the soil is the canvas, paint and even a little bit of the brush. As your “grow medium” (the material that your plants grow in), the balance of nutrients your soil contains shapes how your plants grow, how fast and abundantly they flower and how many buds they yield. Cannabis plants spring up like a literal weed. But growing weed optimally — in a way that allows it to express its best traits and produce trichome-rich flowers — demands care, attention to detail and a bit of trial-and-error. At the same time, there's no better way to develop a closer, more connected and more rewarding relationship with cannabis than growing some yourself. Marijuana roots extend deeply into the soil as they hunt for the best sources of water and nutrients. This is why indoor growing requires a different technique that will compensate for this lack of space. To put it simply, the root systems of indoor marijuana plants need to be smaller. The water and nutrients ...

Although most of us rely on outdoor farming, as winter sets in, a high percentage of the same lot converts to indoor cultivation in the aim of satisfying the need of getting fresh and green vegetables. However, as you can confirm from experienced indoor gardeners, the rules of indoor farming are not the same to those of outdoor farming.

This type of bulb provides more natural light, it is less conspicuous, and it emits considerable levels of UV light, which is known to...

How much area are you looking to light? The best place to start is to figure out the square footage of the area you are trying to light. For high-light plants you will want to achieve around 40 watts per square foot for optimal growth and veg production. For low light plants, and small leafy plants like herbs and lettuce, you will only need to achieve about 25 to 30 watts per square foot. When figuring your area don't necessarily go by the actual size of the room. You will want to measure only the plant area that you will be growing in. You can also find in-depth information on PPFD metrics here. In the meantime, we’ll lay it out as simply as we can. PPFD tells you how much photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) actually reaches the canopy from a specific hanging distance. This is a measurement of the amount of usable light that makes it from the lamp to the leaves. For healthy, flavorful plants, follow this guide: Seedings and clones: 200-400 PPFD Vegetation: 400-6...

If you are using flower, try to use smaller nugs, since they have more surface area relative to their total mass. More surface area and less mass in the middle means the rosin does not have to travel as far to get out and there is less chance any stays inside.  Relative humidity also plays a vital role when pressing flower. If the nugs are too dry, they soak up much of the extract, like a sponge. The ideal range is 55% to 62% relative humidity. Rosin concentrates are the perfect cannabis products that appeal to all of our modern-day weed sensitivities: no butane or propane residues, no terpenes lost wholesale to extraction, and best of all, packing a potent punch rivaled only by isolate products. Since the only basic ingredients for making rosin are heat and pressure, the extraction process doesn’t require volatile, flammable solvents like butane or propane, nor do you require a fancy vacuum filter to remove residual solvents. For making your own rosin press, you need two com...

The coverage of a given grow light should be in the technical specifications of the product. However, there are general guidelines you can use to determine how many grow lights you need to cover a given garden. A rectangular 2000 Watt grow light will have a coverage area of about 8 feet by 7.5 feet at an elevation of 24 inches. This is enough to replace nearly all its needs for natural light. If you have the grow light at an elevation of 48 inches, it could cover 128 square feet of plants with supplemental light. The light they receive is cut in half because you’ve doubled the elevation, but this is enough to extend the growing season of your plants and dramatically increase your yield. BESTVA 2000W Double Chips LED Grow Light The Bestva system is a 2000 watt COB grow light . This high-tech innovation could make this one of the best LED light panels for growing cannabis.

Temperature is a very important factor to consider when growing cannabis. The temperature of your grow room will have an effect on the rate your plants photosynthesizes – the process in which they turn carbon dioxide, water and light into food. If your grow room is at the incorrect temperature, your plants will not be able to photosynthesize efficiently, thus negatively impacting the rate at which they grow. If you’re growing marijuana plants indoors by marijuana grow tent , then temperature control is going to be one of the main factors of maintenance of your grow room. There are a lot of things to consider when managing the temperature, such as the location of your grow room and how many bulbs are inside. Marijuana plants are sensitive to temperature and they need the ideal climate to be able to grow well. For that reason, if you want to grow luscious marijuana plants with high levels of THC, the maintenance of temperature in your grow room is extremely important. If you want to ...

What are Grow Lights? The indoor grow lights are the artificial light source that is used to initiate and stimulate plant growth and provide the spectrum of light that is necessary to start the process of photosynthesis in the plants that are either deprived of direct sunlight or no light source exists at all. They are generally electrically powered and are used to provide the spectrum of the light that is similar to the sun in the conditions where the day lengths are short and plants are unable to receive the number of lights required for their optimum growth. Why use a LED grow light? In layman’s terms,  grow lights for weed will help your plant life or crops thrive in a place where natural light is scarce, or give light-loving species a boost of valuable nutrients. If you’re in a country which has lower amounts of natural light during certain parts of the year, then a grow light is absolutely essential to make sure your crops continue to develop. Vegetation needs light f...
