WHAT IS PH? pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is. The pH scale ranges from 1-14, with a pH of 7 being neutral (the pH of pure water). If pH is lower than 7, a substance is considered acidic (think vinegar or lemon juice). If the pH is higher than 7, the substance is alkaline, as is the case with soaps, bleach, and ammonia. In more scientific terms, pH level has to do with the concentration of hydrogen ions, say in the water you give to your plants. The pH scale is logarithmic to the base 10, which means that water with a pH of 6 is already 10x more acidic than water with a pH of 7. Why is pH Important in Growing marijuana? The pH in the growing medium of any plant has a massive effect on the availability of the nutrients in the medium at the plant's roots. Marijuana thrives best in a slightly acidic growing medium. The reason for this is to do with the natural environments where marijuana first evolved. In fact, with a few exceptions, most plants prefer a slightly...

Indoor cannabis cultivation has made it possible to grow marijuana any time of year, no matter the weather. The move indoors has not only made cannabis cultivation more accessible and doable, but most importantly, for the ordinary decent stoner, it removes the criminal element from the purchasing process. If you grow your own dope, you don’t need a dealer anymore. Cannabis self-sufficiency is the primary objective, and can be accomplished if you put your mind to it. Of course, indoor cultivation using artificial lights makes the grower responsible for creating and maintaining the growing environment. The grower, rather than Mother Nature, must care for the cannabis and control conditions. If you want to toke on your own home-grown weed, you need to be prepared to look after female cannabis plants for around 3 months. Growing weed is a hands-on business and requires specialist equipment. Lighting kits, fans and carbon filters, pots, nutrients, growing media, and a grow tent all cost...

Cannabis, like many plants, can be grown in more than one way. Most people think of roots growing in soil, but hydroponics offers the ability to work in smaller spaces with more control over your green’s food source. If you’re looking for flavor and forgiveness in the occasional mistake, take up the traditional soil method. Of course, any experienced grower will have a preference with first-hand accounts of why they stick with their technique. If you’re looking to plant a marijuana seed and help it grow, there are a few things you should consider before planning things out. What is the difference between hydroponic and soil cannabis cultivation? In general, cannabis that is grown hydroponically is grown inside and plants grown in soil are grown outside. There may be some growers that use soil indoors but this will usually be mixed with coco coir or other similar substance. Growing cannabis in soil is a pretty similar experience to any other gardening you might do and is the most...

The Size of Your Grow Tent Matters The size of the tent you choose is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Together with your plant choices, it will inform your selection of supporting components and contribute to your overall operating costs. If you choose an oversized tent, you run the risk of paying more for your basic equipment and for the energy necessary to power your lights, fans and other equipment. If you choose an undersized tent, you risk creating a crowded and potentially unhealthy environment for your plants, or one that simply won’t accommodate mature plants, even after aggressive staking or trellising and pruning. Even though grow tents are available in lots of different shapes and sizes, the one thing they all have in common is their basic purpose—to contain and cultivate plants. You can find tabletop models, and tents that fit into walk-in or sliding-door closets. There are tents large enough to dwarf a basement or attic, but fill a suburban garage....
