Proper lighting is a crucial factor for success in cannabis cultivation. The light spectrum plays a central role as it directly influences the growth and development of the plants. Here are the most important points you should know: The optimal light spectrum for different growth phases 1. Seedling and vegetative phase Blue light (400–450 nm): Promotes the development of strong roots, stems and leaves. Recommended light source: LED lamps with a high proportion of blue light. 2nd flowering phase Red light (620–660 nm): Increases flower formation and photosynthesis. A small amount of blue light maintains plant stability. 3. Late phase...

Defoliation of cannabis is an important technique that optimizes growth, improves light distribution, and allows for a better harvest. It increases the quality and quantity of flowers when done correctly. This method offers benefits such as improved light penetration, better air circulation, and targeted energy redirection. Key times for defoliation are the vegetative phase to shape the plant and the flowering phase after the stretch phase to encourage flower production. The technique involves removing large fan leaves that shade lower flowers and retaining sufficient foliage for photosynthesis. Tips for beginners include observing the plants, being patient during the recovery period,...

CBD strains offer therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects due to their high CBD and low THC content. Popular strains such as Charlotte's Web and Ringo's Gift are characterized by specific properties that can be used to treat pain, anxiety or inflammation. When purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the CBD-THC ratio, organic cultivation, terpene profile and certifications.

Training methods are crucial to managing the growth of cannabis plants, maximizing yields, and using light efficiently. There are two main categories: low-stress training (LST), which does not damage the plant, and high-stress training (HST), which uses injury to target the plant. Popular techniques such as LST, topping, fimming, ScrOG, and supercropping offer different benefits depending on the method, such as even light distribution, higher yields, and a bushier structure. The choice of method depends on the grower's individual goals, available space, and experience. With the right techniques and a little patience, impressive results can be achieved.
