Super Cropping Review With the Easy Super Cropper

Super Cropping Review With The Easy Super Cropper Today I will be doing a review and tutorial of the Easy Super Croppers. The Easy Super Cropper was created by a family run business based out of Los Angeles that has been in the cannabis industry for over 15 years. Their goal is to make growers jobs easier and one of the ways they do this is by making tools that speed up super cropping making it more efficient and less damaging to the plant. I just received my easy super croppers in the mail and got a lot of positive feedback and some negative feedback from haters so without continuing to ramble on here is my nonbias review of the Easy Super Cropper.   What Is The Easy Super Cropper If you have not guessed yet from the name the Easy Super Cropper is a tool for cannabis growers, designed for making super cropping easier, faster, and less stressful to the plant bu ensuring you get a perfect bend each time without cracking or splitting the plant’s skin. As you can see from the instructions it is as easy as 1 select stem, 2 pinch with easy super cropper and 3 gently bend the branch in the desired direction. Find a full tutorial below.   Packaging & Shipping The easy super cropper comes in a clear plastic case with a nice photo of a cannabis plant on the front of the package and instructions on the back.  The plastic case and Easy Super Croppers are shipped in a bubble wrapped envelope but as you can see in the photo the plastic was not crushed at all surprisingly.

Genetics is most important when growing cannabis

Genetics is most important when growing cannabis Genetics plays the most important role when growing cannabis. Genetics will determine a lot of things like what type of yields you will have and if they will be big yields or small yields. Genetics will determine if you're going to end up with low-quality cannabis or high-quality cannabis. Genetics will determine how your plants are going to grow in their growing conditions and environment. Some genetics are bred to be more pest and mold resistant than others allowing plants to grow in conditions that are not optimal.  If your growing outside your genetics will determine if your plants will finish in time before the frost comes. Some genetics finish in as quick as 7 weeks where some genetics can take 12 weeks or longer to finish. By selecting good genetics with a faster flowering cycle you can get off 6-8 crops a year instead of 4 that is a big difference in product each year. Long and short no matter what way you look at there is a reason why the phrase Genetics Is Key has been around and will always be around. It doesn't matter how much experience you have or rather you have a state of the art million dollar setup with the best nutrients in the world if you do not start with good genetics your not going to end up with a good product. With that said I am not trying to talk anyone out of experimenting and popping them random beans, you have sitting around.

4 ways to trim & dry cannabis

4 ways to trim & dry cannabis After spending two and a half months or more growing out your cannabis plants the work doesn't stop there. The most important part of all is drying and curing your cannabis. This can be the difference of having ok weed or amazing weed, AA buds or AAAA buds, or weed that smells like weed or weed that smells like hay.  I've seen a lot of good cannabis over the years turn out to be shit simply because the drying or curing process was rushed. Curing your cannabis will increase the potency, taste, and smell and you will be greatly awarded for doing so. When it comes to drying cannabis there are many popular methods and every grower has their own version of each. Today I will be going over a few popular methods I have used over the years as well as the method I use now to dry my cannabis. I will also share the basics of curing cannabis but I will write a more in-depth blog on drying and curing in the future. Optimal Drying Conditions Temperature: 16 to 21 degrees C  Humidity: 48 to 58 % These conditions are best kept up with a dehumidifier & fan circulating air Wet Trim + Screen This is a popular method used by small time and commercial growers around the world. This method requires you to trim all the leaves off your plants and buds and then cut the buds off your plants. Next, you're going to want to place all your buds in the screens not overfilling so the buds have room to breathe. Read the full article

6 methods To Increase Yields When Growing Cannabis

6 methods To Increase Yields When Growing Cannabis Today we are going to be talking about how to increase the yields when growing cannabis. The methods I will be going over today are all great methods. I have tried each of the methods myself with great success. Each method is unique and its own way and has its own benefits. THC is produced by the cannabis plant for protection so it is said high-stress training using some of the methods below can increase the THC % of the plant.  Please note while each of these methods will increase your yields some will also slow the veg process of your plants and for this reason, some of these methods are not recommended with autoflowers. Topping Topping is a popular method used by many Growers worldwide. Topping the plant requires you to cut the top of the plant or branch just above the nodes or under the new growth. This will make 2 tops and promote growth in the lower branches. Topping can be done as many times as you like to create as many tops as you want. Topping should be done in Veg only, topping in flower can minimize the yield.  Keep in mind each time you top it can take up to a week to two weeks to recover. I often use this method 1-2 times during veg to get extra tops and bigger yields. Although a lot of people do top autoflower plants, I do not recommend it unless you know the genetics your growing with and can ensure the plant will heal before flowering or topping can lower your yield.

3 ways to determine male and female cannabis plants Click images for full size view Getting Started What You Should Know Look for the balls they say. A cannabis grower must be able to determine male and female cannabis plants in the garden before the males start to cause problems. Buying feminized or feminized auto flowers helps but remember there is a chance of having a hermaphrodite and the rare chance a male. Feminized seeds turning hermaphrodite can be caused by a number of reasons. The most common due to stress, high heat 30 degrees +,  or lights being to close to plants in the first few weeks are common mistakes in the grow room. Hermies can also be transferred in genetics so always keep your eye out when starting new plants. Growing Regular seeds you will usually have 50/50 or 60/40 chance of getting male or females. I found over the years from every 10 seeds I would pop I would get 4 to 5 females from the 10. Growing regular seeds you're going to need to be able to sex the plants but do not stress it is easier then it sounds. Everyone has their own methods, opinions, and thoughts when it comes to growing and sexing plants these are mine from my personal experiences over the years. Knowing Your Plants Before knowing how to sex plants you must know where to look and some of the terminology. The node is the section where the leaf and branch meet the stem.  Read the full article
