Basic Grow Guide: Photoperiod Plants
1. Germination:
- Start seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a sandwich bag or soak them in water for 24 hours. Once a taproot emerges, transfer the seed into a moist growing medium.
2. Seedling Stage (Week 1-2):
- Keep humidity at 65-70%.
- Provide 18-24 hours of light daily.
- Use mild nutrients if needed, but plain water is sufficient.
3. Vegetative Stage (3-16 weeks):
- Light cycle: 18 hours on, 6 hours off.
- Use nitrogen-rich nutrients to promote leafy growth.
- Water regularly but avoid overwatering.
- Train the plant with low-stress training (LST) or topping for better yields.
- Maintain a temperature between 70-85°F with 50-60% humidity.
4. Flowering Stage (6-12 weeks):
- Change light cycle to 12 hours on, 12 hours off.
- Increase phosphorus and potassium nutrients to support bud growth.
- Reduce humidity to 40-50% to prevent mold.
- Plants may double in size, so provide support if needed.
- Monitor trichomes for harvest readiness (milky/amber trichomes).
5. Harvesting & Curing:
- Trim and hang buds in a dark, ventilated area with 60-70°F temperature and 45-55% humidity.
- Dry for 5-7 days until stems snap.
- Cure in glass jars for 2-4 weeks, opening daily to release moisture.
Basic Grow Guide: Autoflower Plants
1. Germination:
- Start seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a sandwich bag or soak them in water for 24 hours. Once a taproot emerges, transfer the seed into a moist growing medium.
2. Seedling Stage (Week 1-2):
- Keep humidity at 65-70%.
- Provide 18-24 hours of light daily.
- Use minimal nutrients.
3. Vegetative Stage (Week 2-4):
- Light cycle: 18-24 hours per day.
- Autoflowers have a short vegetative phase, so avoid topping.
- Low-stress training (LST) can help improve yield.
- Use balanced nutrients and ensure proper airflow.
- Water regularly but avoid overwatering.
- Train the plant with low-stress training (LST) or topping for better yields.
- Maintain a temperature between 70-85°F with 50-60% humidity.
4. Flowering Stage (Week 4-10):
- Plants begin to flower automatically.
- Increase phosphorus and potassium nutrients.
- Reduce humidity to 40-50%.
- No major training at this stage.
5. Harvesting & Curing:
- Trim and hang buds in a dark, ventilated area with 60-70°F temperature and 45-55% humidity.
- Dry for 5-7 days until stems snap.
- Cure in glass jars for 2-4 weeks, opening daily to release moisture.
Basic Cloning Guide
Materials Needed:
- Healthy mother plant (Photo mother plant ONLY)
- Sterilized scissors or razor blade
- Rooting hormone
- Cloning medium (rockwool cubes, peat pellets, or aeroponic cloner)
- Humidity dome or plastic bag
- Spray bottle with water
- Low-intensity grow light moisture.
1. Choose a Healthy Mother Plant:
Pick a strong, disease-free *plant with desirable traits.
*(Photo mother plant ONLY)
2. Take a Cutting:
Using sterilized scissors or a razor blade, cut a 4-6 inch branch from the mother at a 45-degree angle.
3. Trim and Prepare:
Remove excess leaves and dip the cut end into a rooting hormone.
4. Plant the Clone:
Place the cutting into a moist cloning medium such as rockwool cubes or peat pellets.
5. Maintain High Humidity:
Keep clones in a humid environment (70-80%) under low-intensity lighting.
6. Monitor and Transplant:
In 7-14 days, roots should develop. Once established, transplant the clone into soil or hydroponics.
