Training techniques that involve damaging plants, such as pruning or taking cuttings, inflict considerable stress, and thus plants will need time to recover. Because of that, methods like monster cropping are used on photoperiod cannabis strains only. Monster Cropping – Take a cannabis clone from a flowering plant, a technique that is sometimes known as “monstercropping” (more on that below!) Then there’s the citrus peel option. In a small bowl, mix equal parts coconut oil and baking soda, then add a citrus peel of your choice. If you grow a plant in the vegetative stage for about 2-3 months, you will be able to get dozens of clones off a single plant.

Step 3: Hang them up to dry. As you can see, this is where the two methods part ways. But similarly, you know the process is done when you can easily snap off the plant’s stems. But be aware; as the buds still contain their sugar leaves, it can take up to two weeks or longer for buds to be sufficiently dried. low cost– besides cloning supplies (which can be as simple as scissors and a glass of water), making clones is basically free Dry trimming won’t work in a small grow room, as you will need more space to hang your buds to dry. Some cloning gels come with a handy applicator tip, which makes it easier to use and reduces waste and the chance of contamination. The curing process also occurs over several weeks or months to ensure the smoothest smoke, and helps your weed stay fresher for longer, without going off or losing potency. Why Do You Have To Dry and Cure Your Cannabis?Next, place buds (loosely) inside your chosen container. Although wide-mouth mason jars are ideal, any airtight container is suitable. Fill the jars until there's a small gap at the top, and make sure you aren't crushing or compacting buds unnecessarily. Optimal drying conditions are a temperature of roughly 20°C and a relative humidity of 50%. If your tent meets these requirements, the next part is easy. You just have to wait! It's hard to give an exact figure on how much monster cropping can increase yields, as this relies on a variety of factors—your experience being one of them. Some growers recommend letting cuttings veg into large bushes before encouraging lateral growth with repeated topping/super cropping, and then placing them under a ScrOG. Although highly involved, this allows growers to manipulate clones to deliver the best-possible harvests. This picture gives you a bit of an idea of the initial strange stretchy growth of a monstercropped cannabis clone. In the end this monstercropped plant yielded less than the other clones in the grow room. Most domes have vents to let them expel extra air, and you will want to open them if it starts looking too misty in there!

Can Weed Expire? How To Detect Whether Weed Is Too Dry Or Moldy Curing Cannabis: Step-by-Step Guide If you like Apple's drop-stem design but are looking for a style with a more modern twist, then Nothing's Ear (2) buds are for you. We genuinely like the style and the transparent design, and there’s plenty of an attention to detail that you just don’t see on many earbuds. From the tiny printed lettering on each stem to the clearly visible touch sensors and three microphones in each earpiece, the styling is smart. But just like the AirPods, the Ear (2) are only available in white. Cutting clones, waiting for them to root, and then re-vegging them for a few weeks means it will take longer until you can harvest your strains. So if you’re pressed for time, monster cropping may not be what you want. HOW MUCH DOES MONSTER CROPPING IMPROVE YIELDS? If you do plan to dip your cuttings, take your cuttings from the water and dip your newly scrapped cutting immediately into rooting hormone powder or gel to seal off air bubbles and give your cutting what it needs to start making roots. Some growers will use gel and then powder afterwards to get the best of both. In this piece, we’ll take a deep dive into bud trimming, why it’s important, and the proper ways to do it.

Well, guess what, you can now make your own out of the leaves you’ve cut off. And you don’t even need that much! Around 30 grams of trim can get the job done. Create Some Infused Cooking Oil
