What should I do if the cannabis grow room suddenly loses power?

ndoor growers use light cycle manipulation to trigger cannabis plants to flower or stay in a state of vegetative growth. but growing cannabis indoor can be tricky and sometimes things go wrong. If your light cycles are interrupted it can be disastrous and you need to know how to fix your mistakes when possible.
If you screw up and set a timer wrong, accidentally unplug a cord or a light bulb burns out, you and your plants could have a real problem. I’m sure you’ve never done such a thing but even the most careful grower can’t control power outages. I've experienced nasty winter storms that created power outages for days on end.
I don't know about you but I can’t count how many times I’ve accidentally set my alarm clock for 6 p.m. instead https://www.growpackage.com/collections/eco-farm-grow-lightof 6 a.m. Luckily I wake up on my own about 7 but cannabis plants don’t wake up on their own. Growing cannabis indoor requires following strict schedules of lights on and lights out. You are responsible for getting them to bed on time and up in the morning and you must be punctual.
If you want your seedlings or clones to grow into strong healthy plants with huge bud producing potential, keep the lights on between 18 and 24 hours each day.
Grow Light Timer When your plants have grown enough that you are ready for them to start flowering and producing buds, change your grow light timer so your plants experience 12 hours of light and 12 hours of complete darkness for each 24 hour period.
When your light cycles are interrupted, even just a little, it can cause big problems for your plants. This can potentially result in huge reductions in your harvest so you need to know how to minimize the damage.
What to Do When Grow Lights Go Out
The most important thing when grow lights go out is to make sure your plant is getting some amount of light during its regular light period.
A plant left alone completely in the dark for more than a day starts deteriorating quickly, but you'll slow this process down by giving them even low levels of light!
Although it's best to have a constant source of light, even periodically flashing a flashlight over the plant for a few minutes every hour or two can help plants maintain their regular light cycles!
Your plants will obviously do better with full lights on, but your main goal is to prevent them from being in the dark for long stretches of time during their "day" period. With all the other stress that may be happening, you want them to think it's a cloudy day, not the end of the world!
Don't forget to turn the light source off before the plant's regular "dark" period, especially in the flowering stage! You most likely won't have a timer so you must remember to shut lights off manually before their dark period begins.
  • If your plant is in the vegetative stage, it's better to give extra hours of light as opposed to too little since your plant needs long days to stay in the vegetative stage.
  • If your plant is in the flowering stage, it's better to give extra hours of darkness if you have to choose between the two, since the plant needs short days to stay in the flowering stage.

Germination: Between 24-Hours and 2 Weeks Plants use sexual reproduction in order to carry on the species into the next generation. There are male and female cannabis plants which must reproduce. Sometimes, hermaphrodite plants exist, but these are not something you should concern yourself about right now. Growers want to use female plants because these are the only ones that produce a massive quantity of trichomes. In case you didn’t know, trichomes are the white crystals packed full of cannabinoids like CBD and THC. Male plants are virtually useless, but they could end up contaminating your crop if you keep them around. As a result, you should look out for feminized seeds. Seed banks often sell this type, so they shouldn’t be too hard to find. If you use regular seeds, there is a 50/50 chance you will get male or female plants; with feminized seeds, all your plants will be females. Once you have your feminized seeds, it’s time to germinate them. Each and every seed contains a

How to Train Indoor Cannabis for Bigger Yields

Pruning for a greater yield Pruning is a process of selectively trimming plants so that they produce the most flowers or fruit. For marijuana plants, this means ensuring even the smallest amount of plants obtains the maximum yield. Pruning techniques are often used by professional growers seeking to maximize results in a limited indoor growing space. Not only are pruned plants able to produce more flowers, but they also are able to produce bigger and heavier buds. This is because, by pruning, no energy is wasted on growing as many leaves and buds, leaving the remaining ones free to thrive. Grow flatter and wider instead Another way to increase yield is to "train" your plants. This will give you bigger, wider plants with more colas spaced out. This is a technique that doesn't cost any money and it can really make a difference to the size of your harvest. Training is a form of pruning but you don't actually need to cut your plant. It is called LST, or low stress trai

How to extract CBD hemp oil from cannabis leaves?

What is CBD Extract? CBD, also known as cannabidiol, has become the most highly debated and sought-after component from the cannabis plant in recent years. It has become known worldwide for its many beneficial qualities which range from helping people deal with mental illness to helping cancer patients deal with nausea (a common side effect from chemotherapy treatment). It has been trusted by many for centuries and is currently in an uphill battle with some political parties who assume that CBD oil is just like its cousin THC. Luckily, research is proving them wrong. Besides understanding the different methods of extracting CBD from cannabis, you’ll want to take into consideration the differences between full-spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD, and CBD isolates. More on that later. As ties between the FDA and CBD companies continue to develop, you will also want to take into consideration which CBD extracts fall in and out of legal lines. For example, CBD can be extracted from either h
