What is CBD Oil? Cannabidiol (CBD), an extract that many use as an anti-anxiety or relaxation tool, comes from the Cannabis sativa plant and cannot be divorced from this original source. Cannabis sativa has many different variations, and not all of these contain significant amounts of CBD. The reason CBD is now widely accessible is most assuredly due to the change in social perceptions of this once-outlawed plant and the legalization of this plant in many locales. Without cannabis legalization, CBD would be difficult to acquire—and there would be no testing to ensure that consumers receive the product they are paying for. Benefits of CBD Oil Pain Relief : This is perhaps the most popular benefit of using CBD oil. It is known as an analgesic, which makes it effective in minimizing the physical pain that is felt. If you are suffering from chronic pain conditions, such as in the case of fibromyalgia, CBD oil will be effective. Fights Epilepsy : Probably, you have already watched v...

Introduction Growing cannabis from seeds or clones, until they mature and develop cloves, involves a lot of work. You tend to spend plenty of resources to ensure that you achieve an abundant harvest. But what happens afterward? The work never stops at harvesting. There is even more work that you need to do before you can package the marijuana and introduce it into the market. One crucial step that you should perform carefully is bud trimming. Why should you trim the buds?  Trimming the weed buds can serve a lot of purposes. Many people from the cannabis community would often recommend trimming. Irrespective of the method you follow, trimming the buds is necessary. As a result, you should make sure to choose the best bud trimmer. The buds are trimmed to make them look good. The trimmed buds appear to be tight, and uniform in their appearance. Overgrowth may be problematic. Thus, trimming from time to time can help to increase the visual presence. You may be able to achieve t...

What Is A Ceramic Metal Halide Grow Light? First, let’s clear up a point of confusion. I’m sure you’ve seen (even just in this article), several different terms and abbreviations. Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH), Light Emitting Ceramic (LEC) and Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide (CDM) all refer to the same thing. CMH is the most common term. Another point of confusion concerns their relationship to metal halide lights. CMH bulbs are a variation of MH bulbs, but they are quite different. Instead of using a quartz tube, they use a ceramic tube (more here), similar to an HPS bulb. This allows a higher arc tube temperature, which in turn allows a better mix of gases to produce a more optimal spectrum (more on this below in the sections comparing CMH to MH and HPS). The light produced by a CMH bulb is much closer to natural sunlight than either MH or HPS (with a CRI of 96). It is, for practical purposes, a perfect combination of MH and HPS in a single bulb. Advantages of CMH grow lights ...

What is a Carbon Filter? Carbon filter is a part of air exhaust system in an isolated space(grow tent, grow room, greenhouse etc.) They contain beds of activated carbon(charcoal) with tons of pores inside. When air of a grow room or greenhouse is vented through a carbon filter, it traps the smell, dust, spores, pollen and other airborne containments. As a result, your grow space stays free of bad smell, harmful chemicals, and unhealthy containments. How to Choose the Right Size of Carbon Filter? As you try to narrow down the choices, one of the first things that you need to take into consideration is the size of the carbon filter. If it is too small for the grow room, it might be unable to deliver effective performance. To choose the size appropriate for the grow room, look at the dimensions. Multiply the length and the width of the grow tent, which will give you the calculation of the area. Once the area is computed, multiply it with the height of the grow room. After this,...

HID Grow Lights  High-Intensity Discharge lights are the most commonly used cannabis grow lights around. They’re as close to mimicking the sun as you can get with a grow light, in both color and warmth. These have the ability to be used from seeding through harvest without a problem, and when used with proper cooling equipment, have shown to grow virtually anything you can think of: vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices, flowers- you name it, H.I.D.’s can grow it, and grow it on a big scale. HID grow lights are great for grow rooms, grow tents, and warehouse grows. You don’t want to limit an H.I.D. to a grow tent (or grow area) smaller than 4×4′ area because these lights pump out some major heat. Properly cooled and ventilated grow tents and grow rooms are great because the heat of the light can be circulated throughout the area instead of focusing on the plants directly. Warehouse grow rooms utilize H.I.D.’s because of their coverage area and intensity. H.I.D.’s traditionally ha...

What Is Medical Marijuana? Medical marijuana is not the drug you can buy in the street, which may be improperly grown, infused with another drug, or not even authentic marijuana. Medical marijuana stems from pure, uncut cannabis indica plant. Certain medically beneficial chemicals—the “mind-altering” ones that make you feel a buzz or high—are then taken from these planets and used to help treat patients for various medical issues. Sometimes the plants as a whole—and not just the certain chemicals inside it—are used to help with certain medical conditions. While there are more than 100 chemicals (these are called cannabinoids) in marijuana, the two main chemicals in medical marijuana used for medical purposes are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These chemicals can help treat a slew of diseases and medical conditions, which we’ll discuss later. Cannabis for Senior Health For the senior population, the long list of positives in treating with weed keeps ...

Types of Grow Lights There are three main types of cannabis grow lights . Fluorescent Grow Lights The standard fluorescent bulb, commonly denoted T12, makes a decent grow light for houseplants, starting seeds, supplementing the natural light of a window, and other situations where lighting needs are modest. They are fairly weak in light intensity, however, and must be placed within a few inches of the foliage to have much of an effect. LED Grow Lights LED stands for light-emitting diode. A form of solid-state lighting, an LED uses a semiconductor chip, known as an LED die, that turns an electrical current into photons through a process called electroluminescence. An LED may be configured either as a single-die emitter that’s mounted on a circuit board, or an array of dies mounted directly on a circuit board, which is known as a chip-on-board (COB) module. An LED lamp is made up of an LED mounted to a heat sink, along with directional lenses and a power supply. HID Grow Ligh...

Who Should Use Grow Tents? Indoor Grow tents are designed to keep things simple for hobbyist cannabis growers. As convenient as grow tents are, they’re not designed for huge marijuana grow operations! But for someone who wants 1-5 ounces/month, a grow tent may be the best way to go! How Many Plants to Growing in 3×3 size Tent? If you have a 3×3 grow tent, then you are all set in terms of indoor gardening. The question is, how many plants would fit in? There a couple of factors that will influence the number of plants that you will grow inside this tent. However, the standard is, you can actually grow up to 9 small sized plants. The considerations will range from the size of the pots to the type of plants and the lighting source. One of the parameters that you can use is to ensure that there a maximum of 4 plants per light source.

Managing the ideal temperature for your cannabis plants can be a difficult task, when beginning to work in a new environment. Controlling the temperature inside a grow tent can be even harder, due to restricted airflow. Managing the heat levels can prove challenging, which is why we have written a guide to help you with the process. Are High Temperatures Bad for Cannabis Plants? If you are growing marijuana in an environment with high temperatures, or in an area where heat is unable to dissipate, the ambient temperatures may be much higher than the ~70 degrees Fahrenheit that your plants find comfortable, and lead to heat stress. An increased temperature can lead to slow growth, reduced harvest, and even eventual death of your cannabis plants. Heat is especially a concern during the flowering phase of the cannabis plants or for those who are growing hydroponically, where the roots are exposed (as opposed to being protected by a pot and layer of dirt). Fortunately there are a ...

When acquiring seeds, you want to make sure they are matured and that they appear dark brown with lighter accents and a hard feel. You don’t want a seed that feels fresh and looks green, which indicates that the seed hasn’t reached full maturity. Once you have your cannabis seeds, make sure you have the space necessary to allow your plants to grow and be healthy. Don’t pop seeds when you are unsure of your grow space, time availability, or intention with your garden. Best Ways To Germinate Weed Seeds Germinate Seeds Directly in Soil Step 1:  Purchase quality soil from a reputable source. You want soil with good drainage, this allows for air exchange; seeds need moisture but you don’t want to drown them. Step 2:  Now, you need to plant your seeds at the right depth. A good rule of thumb is to plant seeds 2 times deeper than the width of the seed. Step 3:  Provide water for your seeds by soaking your container in a tray containing about an inch of water. This allo...
