There are many different strains available for recreational and medical use today. Each strain is unique in its genetic makeup and thus its effects. If you aren’t sure what you want to use, look at the slide show below. It shows the different strains and each of their properties.
5 tips for the first time growing weed
Growing marijuana indoors takes patience and skill. It takes time for plants to mature and flower, and to be successful, one must create a well-thought-out and well-lit environment.
Now that one has all that, here are the top 5 tips for beginners:
- Make sure their light has the proper Kelvin (colour) temperature. Kelvin is the temperature at which the light will appear white, and it is measured in degrees Kelvin. A good rule of thumb is 6500K.
- Make sure their light has the proper amount of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation). PAR is measured as the amount of light that a plant will absorb. A good rule of thumb is 100 μmol/m2/sec.
- Make sure their grow space is properly ventilated. Air recirculation, like Circulators, keeps the air fresh and conditions consistent.
- Make sure their plants are well watered. Plants can only absorb so much moisture, and overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Grow organically. Natural fertilizers and foods will bring out the best in their plants.
Highest yielding flower strains for beginners
Flowering strains are kind of famous, and for a good reason. They are vigorous, prolific, and adaptable to different conditions. They have a good flavour and aroma, and they are relatively easy to grow. But flowering strains are not one-size-fits-all. To find strains that meet their needs, one has to know something about them. Fortunately, the breeders who write manuals for growers do know the basics.
Let’s start with genetics: the genes that make a strain different from another strain. Many strains have identical genes. For example, the two strains in the photograph are cousins: both have the same genes (the light purple ones). But some of them have different genes. The dark purple ones are from Diadem, and the light blue ones are from Diadem’s sister plant, Sativa Domino.
Each breeder has a particular set of preferences, and different combinations of genetics will produce strains with different characteristics. The breeder’s preferences are usually reflected in their choice of the parent plant. For example, Dinafem likes to grow Sativa plants. The genes for Sativa flowers come from Sativa plants. The genes for Indica flowers come from Indica plants.
The breeder will also pay attention to the shape of the flowers. The genes for big buds come from Indica plants. The genes for small buds come from Sativa plants; find more info
