I have said in previous posts that I am not an expert. I have read a lot of books regarding growing marijuana indoors and out... but am really only on my first grow.
I have made a list of things I have read that seemed like really good ideas...
So here goes in no particular order.
** The last two weeks of flowering leach the soil with water only... to get rid of any nutrients or fertilizers. Just so you are not smoking fertilizer.
** The last two weeks or so of flowering switch the light to 8 hours a day. This is supposed to shock the plant into producing more resin before harvest.
** When in the flowering stage keep the air flowing and the humidity down. This is also supposed to make the plant produce more resin.
** Do not use a spray bottle to water your plants. You can use it once in awhile to clean the leaves if need be. This is supposed to prohibit your water leaves from getting big and fat - taking up all the light. It also adds water to the plant and surrounding area which may promote mold growth.
** During the flowering stage the temp should be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This is also supposed to promote more resin production.
** Marijuana thrives in air that has a CO2 level of 1500 parts per million. Regular air contains only 300 parts per million. This is just to reference the optimal CO2 level for marijuana.
Any one else got any tips..?? ( or things they have read )
I have heard of all kinds of wacky stuff... like turning off the lights for 4 days straight to shock the plant into flowering... etc..
