    The best ways of sexing cannabis
    Sexing cannabis (and no, I don't mean getting down and dirty with your favourite weed plant) is just one of a lengthy list of essential skills that all budding weed growers need to master. Knowing how to determine the sex of your cannabis plants (if you decide to grow regular seeds) can and will make all the difference come harvest time, and for a few key reasons. Even if you only grow feminized seeds, there is always an exceedingly small chance that a seed may turn into a male plant - less than 0.1% of feminized or autoflowering seeds will turn out male, but it is still possible. There is also the rare occurrence of hermaphroditism, which...

  7. What are the early signs of hermie plants?
    What are the early signs of hermie plants?
    One thing that often surprises people new to the art of growing weed is that even seeds grown from feminized seeds sometimes don't perform as planned. What, really? Feminized seeds can still produce male plants? How is that possible? Yes indeed. Although feminized seeds offer a 99.9% guarantee that your plant will be a lady, there is still a 0.1% chance that they will turn out to be a dude. But that's not what we are here to talk about. The other, but only very slightly more common issue, with feminized (actually all - feminized, regular, or autoflowering) seeds is that they can sometimes produce hermaphroditic, or 'hermie' plants. This ha...

How to super crop cannabis
Indoor growers can use cannabis plant training to increase their yields.  One of the most popular plant-training techniques is known as super cropping.  Basically, it means damaging a bud site so that it grows back stronger.
