Cultivating Exceptional Cannabis

However, I have also observed that the MH systems tend to produce more colorful finished products (blues, reds and purples) when used either alone or in conjunction with HPS systems in the flower cycle

combination of 430-watt, horizontally mounted HPS systems coupled with 400-watt, vertically mounted MH systems in small spaced flower cycles. This combination seems to utilize the best of both worlds. For larger spaces, the 1000-watt systems are virtually unbeatable.

This combination seems to utilize the best of both worlds.

HPS systems tend to emit more in the infrared range.

The fluorescent tends to promote root growth along with foliar spread.

MH systems emit more in the ultraviolet range

I wait for the root to grow about an inch before transplanting

the common turkey baster to be of the greatest value for this purpose.

Plants in small containers (two-inch to four-inch pots or sixteen to twenty-four ounce cups) in the veggie cycle need to be watered every day or two. Plants in two-gallon and larger containers need watering every three to six days.

If you use the basic soil mix I’ve described on page 16, where equal parts of perlite and course-cut sphagnum moss make up approximately 70% of the overall mix, then you have the optimum mix. This mix seems to be a perfect blend for a quickly regulated watering schedule.
