In today’s time, people have been searching for ways and innovations to make use of cannabis to get the most out of its benefits.

Cannabis now is not only used for smoking or to make you high. It can also help treat various medical conditions. Researchers have been innovating to make use of cannabis as a treatment for cancer and cancer-related symptoms.

People will never stop creating new products out of precious cannabis because nobody can resist the potentials of the plant.

The First Cannabis-Derived Car

Cannabis is making a noise in the world of automobiles. I don’t know if you have heard of a car made from the hemp plant.

If it seems familiar to you or you might have heard some news regarding this, then you are not mistaken, indeed.

In the year 1941, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, has been thinking and researching about a car made entirely from the hemp plant, one of the cannabis categories.

Henry Ford was able to build a hemp-derived car that was fueled by hemp biofuel. It is considered the greenest car ever in history, long before the arrival of electric powered vehicles.

Why Was It Built?

The conceptualization of eco-friendly cars has been derived from the world’s worst problem today, climate change.

With all the problems happening now like global warming and ozone layers getting weaker, researchers finally decided to make an innovation without harming the environment.

By this, people are leaving the engine combustion behind as it is one of the leading producers of hazardous chemical compounds like carbon dioxide.

Also, Ford was hoping to build something that could resist massive impact like a car crash without giving at least a scratch. At that year, there was also a shortage of metal.

Finally, after twelve long years, Henry Ford was able to make this idea come into realization by showcasing the first car made from the hemp plant and fueled with hemp oil or vegetable oil.

The panels of the car were made from seventy percent of a mixture of wheat straw, sisal and hemp plant. The thirty percent was from the resin binder. Altogether were molded using hydraulic pressure of 1500lbs PSI. The car’s tubular welded frame was the only mental made in the whole car.

Durability

It was reported that the car was lighter as compared to steel cars for about 300lbs. The inventor also brags that the vehicle can withstand an impact of ten folds.

According to several car tests reported by Henry Ford, the car can handle an impact without a dent as it is ten times tougher compared to steel.

During the car show of the hemp-derived car, Henry Ford used an ax and attempted to cut through the body of the car, but it was a failure. The ax just bounced back, proving that indeed the car derived from hemp is stronger and tougher than steel cars.

Moreover, Rudolph Diesel, father of diesel motor, was also part of the collaboration for the hemp-derived car. He was the one responsible for the engine to be able to run using hemp oil or vegetable oil.

What Happened To The Car?

Due to the occurrence of World War II, the production of all automobiles, including this car, was discontinued. After WWII, they started the production again but eventually abandoned it because the energy was organized for the recovery efforts from the war.

Coincidentally, the price of gasoline during that year dropped significantly, along with the ban on illegal cannabis plants.

Nonetheless, the car was not able to be a showcase in the museum; it continues to be the rise of design for innovation.

Now, a lot more have implanted the prevention of emitting greenhouse gasses, and legalization of cannabis in a lot of states could have been a better setting for Henry Ford’s to realize again.

The Kestrel

Kestrel is a hemp-derived car, named after a bird species. It is considered the most Eco-friendly vehicle as of this generation.

The eco-friendly car is generated from the hemp, a cannabis category. It drives approximately 90 kilometers per hour powered BY TM4 Electrodynamics Systems.

Although the Kerstel demands to be replenished for every one hundred sixty kilometers hustle.

Illegality of Cannabis

Hemp cultivation remains questionable up until today. It cannot complain that the materials used in the car were cost-efficient and friendly to the environment and mother nature.

Thus, the generation of hemp plants exhibits an incredible amount of potential in the world of auto and engineering.

Fortunately, in Canada, where Kerstel was built, the government is enthusiastic in investigating hemp and its advantages for the atmosphere, climate, and environment. 

Impact Resistant

The car was made from the combination of stalks from hemp plant and resin. Altogether, it made a tough and resistant to any impact car.

In comparison to steel cars or average cars, Kerstel’s composition made it efficient and adequate performance.

On top of that, it acknowledges to the eco standards that we have established today.

Although the eco-friendly car, Kerstel, is not prepared for production yet, it has already made an uproar and been on the limelight globally.

The price of Kerstel is estimated to be around $25,000. It is not as bad as expected, given that the car itself is environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient, and made from reliable lightweight materials.

The Renew Sports Car

From the concept of Henry Ford, a new car was made from cannabis. This is called The Renew.

Bruce Michael Dietzen, a former executive of Dell, has been investing a lot of effort and time in creating his brand of a sports car.

When making this sports car, all he was thinking was the environment and how to make use of eco-friendly materials. Dietzen was able to make a car from hundred-pound cannabis with coverage of incredibly tough resin.

He also wanted to wipe off the stigma attached to the reputation of cannabis plants as it is still deemed as harmful as cocaine and heroin.

Most Durable Car There Is

Similar to Ford’s car, Bruce Dietzen is ten times tougher than steel. This is an insight he gave during the showcase of his sports car at Jay Leno’ Garage.

He also added that cannabis could make attainable material for building cars in the future.

During the show, Dietzen showed off the potentials of the cannabis car by slamming the car hood over and over. Unfortunately, the slamming attempt did not make any scratch on the Renew’s body.

The production of the car was not as easy as you may think, given that in Florida, where Dietzen lives, cannabis is considered illegal.

He had to import materials from another country to make the production possible, and there is also a scarcity of facilities to manufacture cannabis.

Carbon Neutral

Additionally, the car is not the only eco-friendly here but also how it was made. The process of building the Renew was carbon neutral.

Carbon neutral allows the manufacturing to prevent from releasing excess dangerous and harmful gasses into the atmosphere. It is quite different from steel cars that emit an estimated ten tons of carbon dioxide while on production and another six tons of the same harmful chemical annually when driven on the road.

It is considered the first carbon-free vehicle in the world. Cannabis efficiently eliminates carbon in the atmosphere. Surprisingly, It even does the job better than trees.

Cannabis plants grow faster than trees. In about three to four months, you will have a mature plant already and can be regrowth many times annually.

Cannabis is outstanding in storing carbon dioxide while it grows. When this ability is used in a car like the Renew, it can be the most beneficial approach to fight climate change and make a change in the emission of harmful chemicals in the atmosphere.

Very Expensive

Although Dietzen was not the pioneer in conceptualizing the cannabis as cars, he made it possible to upgrade the original findings and put effort into thoroughly researching to modernize the idea.

The Renew is not the most affordable car there is and certainly the most expensive way of building a car. With whooping $200,000 invested in making the project happen, it is quite valuable and expensive. However, it is efficient given by the fact that it is eco-friendly, and the materials and products used were distinct.

Anyways, nobody mentioned that the future is not an expensive investment, especially if it is for the sake of innovation and preservation of mother nature.

Dietzen also collaborated with Cool Tech, a Colorado-based company in creating alternative vehicular fuel to save and preserve the environment.

Takeaway

The potentials of cannabis to surpass the ability of artificial materials is an excellent discovery by Henry Ford. It only proves that he was right, and his effort will not be put into waste.

Researchers should look into the harvest year to make use of agriculture in producing innovative products that could change the perspective of today’s generation and their stigma on cannabis. In this way, we could help reduce the emission of harmful chemicals in the atmosphere and possibly prevent climate change from continuing.

Making use of cannabis not just in medicine or food, but also in fabrics, automobiles, and many other ways that could potentially make a tremendously positive and significant impact in the world.

As the light has shone on the cannabis industry that permitted its legalization, farming cannabis is now openly discussed. With the limitations and sanctions are gone, more activities are being revealed in the cannabis industry and many people are shifting their attention to this plant.

Cannabis could be cultivated normally just like other plants but because the world is already concerned with the pollution that is being contributed by farming, growing them using regenerative farming is now becoming a must.

Though it has just permitted in most countries to grow and farm cannabis, it is already catching up to grow those using regenerative farming methods. 

There are already many cannabis growers that are using this method and more studies are being made about it. 

Farming methods and tools like pesticides have been considered as a great help when they were just discovered because of the help they had contributed to the society. It has helped mitigate hunger and poor living conditions.

Now, it became a problem due to oversupply and the impact on the environment is already noticed and being felt. What has been great before does not stand forever.

Some of the disadvantages it has brought include the loss of billions of topsoil, waterways are being choked, and the pollution it has given to the atmosphere, deaths due to pesticides, and more.

Now, regenerative farming of cannabis is a new way to help the environment and even produce a crop in good quality that can supply the demand.

Defining Regenerative Farming

There can be a broad definition of regenerative farming and each can have their own focus. It includes practicing of companion planting (this practice enriches the soil without needing chemicals), diversification of crops, using rainwater catching system, and using cover crops (this protects the soil). 

It also involves using working animals for weed control (raising animals while farming is a good combination), use of non-toxic pest management, no tilling, composting, using worms, and other methods that has the goal of soil improvement.

It emphasizes the practices above to make the watershed conditions improve, increasing biodiversity, and enhancing the ecosystem. This practice had been used for many years all throughout the world but was forgotten when commercial farming took over.

The soil itself has many living organisms that make it ideal for planting crops without the need for pesticides.

That also provides the consciousness to help small scale farmers so they could be sustainable.

Regenerative Farming Of Cannabis

Regenerative farming is now in effect in the cannabis plant. More studies and experiments are being done to attain its highest effectiveness and meeting the goal of not just using the method but also being sustainable.

Cannabis farming using the regenerative method allows using the materials from the farm itself and all-natural. This ensures that the weeds produced are of great quality and are organic without the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals.

Knowledge of how to apply regenerative farming into cannabis cultivation is very important. Many growers are already applying it but more is to be done so that more are to be educated for the proper and best use of the practice.

That is why the cannabis growers are having meetings and gatherings to share ideas and even seeds that are of proven quality. They are willing to help each other understand more of the cannabis and the use of regenerative farming.

It is not easy when you have no background and idea about regenerative farming. But do not be dismayed as you can learn it and you can do well. You can use the resources shared online or get the help of a regenerative cannabis farmer near your area and get direct help and information.

A slowly shift from normal cultivation to regenerative cultivation had been the subject of study and had already been in practice. You too can join in this effort and will be able to be one of the educated cannabis regenerative farmers. 

Understanding Indoor vs. Outdoor Farming of Cannabis

Cannabis Indoor Farming

There is an advantage that makes indoor cultivation better than outdoor cultivation. Moneywise, outdoor is cheaper than outdoor. The indoor growing of cannabis has become popular over the years. With the limitations and laws that do not allow cannabis cultivation, indoor growing has grown in practice and soon many learned to practice it commercially or privately for personal use.

With indoor cultivation, you have to prepare what is needed including lights, air ventilation system, nutrients needed, and others. It seems to be a disadvantage but it can be covered up with its advantages. Growing cannabis indoor gives good yield in terms of the scent and its look and the THC level is higher. 

Another concern for indoor growing is that diversity is not promoted and farmers spend farming in crowded rows of cannabis plants when cultivating indoors. It is a different scene when outdoor having the natural light of the sun and fresh air.

But with the limited space of growing in other areas, and when it is only on a slow scale where the grower grows for a personal need, indoor farming is preferred and is the ideal method.

Cannabis Outdoor Farming

This is what has been practiced many years ago and is advocated by many. Because of its many advantages, outdoor farming is still the top choice when it comes to farming cannabis.

It is noted that plants grown in an outdoor setting are tastier and more attractive than indoor-grown cannabis. It is even cheaper as there is not much cost as compared to indoor growing. Besides its benefit as earth-friendly, it is also consumer-friendly and farmer-friendly products.

Farming cannabis outdoor allows your plants to enjoy the space, the sun, and the natural air that you as a grower can experience.

The outdoor growing of cannabis is more recommended because you can combine it with regenerative farming to promote better farming practice helping the environment.

Understanding the Science and Tips of Farming Cannabis

Behind this entire goal to be good at regenerative farming, you as a cannabis farmer should understand the science behind farming cannabis. Understanding your crop is one key to the success of your plan to use regenerative farming for cannabis growing.

Cannabis has different strains with different flavors, aroma, effect, and medical benefits. If you are new and wondering what would be the good strains to cultivate, you may be overwhelmed.

One clue that was given is that know the basics of marijuana. You can group the strains with the flavor and see what people like the most. If you do it for your personal use, you can then group them according to what you like.

As you had already grouped them, you keep a good quality stock of strains that are popular and sell. You can use them to produce more strains and you do not have to keep all available strains on that particular flavor.

As it is not ideal to have as much as you can because of the cost, you can manage your stocks and keep more variety and stock on what sells higher than the flavors you have. You can adjust your stock when the trend has shifted to another flavor. 

For example, you can have a 60% stock on gassy varieties, and the rest for the other varieties. You can reduce the stock or increase them according to demand. 

It is important to know your market. Who is buying your products? Through that, you can know what strains to produce more and focus more. Remember to keep the quality products so you can grow them when change arises.

Safe practice in cultivating and storing cannabis is to have the old weeds that have the best quality. They do not necessarily be the best flavor that will sell but you can use them to produce the one that is on-demand in the market.

The flavors or strains promoted on social media do not always sell forever. The taste could change and people, when they have no choice, will just use what is already in the market. 

If you will make your own cannabis that is in good quality, consumers would come to you. They can also explore the other flavors and so keeping a good quality stock makes it sure that they are available.

Science of Cannabis and Regenerative Farming

If you combine this with regenerative farming, you will be able to reap the best benefit you can with growing cannabis. Whether you grow cannabis for your personal use, you can apply this method so you will not be burdened with keeping many stocks. 

Regenerative farming of cannabis has been already proven to be productive and you too can do it. As you enjoy growing your marijuana, you are also helping with the effort to help the environment and not contribute to pollution. 

Regenerative farming of cannabis is now the new trend. It has many advantages that have been reap by growers for years already. Many more are expected to happen with this cannabis cultivation.

Having deliberately been sprouting your seeds, giving the delicate love and safekeeping to bring your cultivation into life, and making the ideal conditions for your blossoms to develop, it’s currently gone to the hotly anticipated reap! The way toward developing cannabis doesn’t stop at collecting time. Appropriately drying and restoring your new cannabis stash is central to avert mold infection from occurring. These techniques will likewise bring about buds that taste better and offer a predominant high. Despite the fact that it’s enticing to attempt your buds after collect, regardless, you have to dry and fix your cannabis harvest to guarantee that it remains sound, smokes well, and creates a quality high. 

Curing and drying weed is a basic post-collect component since it can essentially affect the taste and general nature of your cannabis crop. It is anything but difficult to inhale a murmur of help subsequent to collecting your plants in the mixed up conviction that the difficult work has been finished. Relieving includes drying your cannabis buds gradually in a uniquely controlled condition. Next, you have to keep the dried buds in glass bricklayer containers for half a month. In the long run, you will have weed that scents and tastes better and, maybe more significantly, is significantly progressively powerful!

Before we supply you onto manufacturing your own cannabis drying and curing racks, let’s take a look first on the importance of drying and curing your cannabis cultivation and how to do it.

Why Do I Need to Cure My Newly Harvested Cannabis?

The first reason why is that curing your cannabis increases its potency.  There is no point in experiencing the whole developing and gathering process except if you’re resolved to getting the strongest weed conceivable out of the experience. During a procedure known as biosynthesis, cannabis plants produce THC Acid (THCA) and different cannabinoids. The procedure includes certain mixes getting changed over into various mixes. For example, THCA becomes THC during this procedure. 

Curiously, this procedure of biosynthesis proceeds after you choose to chop down your plant, and, luckily, for THC sweethearts, the non-psychoactive cannabinoids in your buds will start to change over into THCA when kept in the correct conditions. Specifically, this implies keeping them at temperatures that fall somewhere in the range of 60°F and 70°F and mugginess levels of 45% to close to 55%. By doing this, you encourage the biosynthesis procedure and guarantee your yield is loaded down with THC. The inability to appropriately fix weed implies it eventually contains a lower level of THC and different cannabinoids.

Second, curing enhances its savor and caliber of its smoke. On the off chance that you didn’t have the foggiest idea about, the charming and one of a kind smell and kind of cannabis you experience are because of its terpene content. In any case, these unpredictable and delicate mixes are in peril of dissipating and debasing even at exceptionally low temperatures, which implies they rush to corrupt and vanish off into the ether when they get excessively warm. Truth be told, terpenes can start to separate at simply 70°F, consequently the need to keep your reaped bud somewhere in the range of 60 and 70°F Companies that mass produce second rate maryjane frequently utilizes a fast fire hot cannabis drying process. For better quality bud, utilize a moderate relieving procedure to safeguard the terpene content. 

Just with a moderate fix, will you have the option to appropriately welcome the best flavors and tastes of your plant so don’t release all your difficult work to squander at the relieving stage since you are urgent to give your convenient work its initially run-out? At the point when the pot is ineffectively relieved, it makes the perfect condition for proteins and microscopic organisms to separate undesirable materials. It additionally brings about the separating of the unfortunate sugars shaped when chlorophyll decays. These sugars and minerals are what caused the undesirable throat-consume you now and then get from smoking.

Lastly, curing preserves your cannabis cultivation. In the event that you plan to store your cannabis for quite a while, top-notch relieving of the weed is basic. At the point when you fix the plant accurately, you can spare it in a sealed shut compartment for roughly two years without a critical misfortune in power. Else, it will lose its cannabinoid content and turn out to be progressively vulnerable to form development. 

Great restoring strategies empower you to keep your cannabis for any longer. While you probably won’t be accustomed to having more buds than you can smoke when you develop your very own, you may discover you shock yourself, so you’re not going to need to pass up smoking it since you can’t keep up the pace with its debasement. 

In as much as you fix your weed appropriately, at that point, you won’t need to stress over a shape or your bud losing its cannabinoids. Simply make a point to keep your buds in a hermetically sealed compartment and in a cool and dull area and, incredibly, your bud is fine for use for near two years.

How to Dry your Weed?

Be that as it may, since we realize you will make the best decision for you and your buds, how about we proceed to how to viably dry and fix your cannabis. 

Step 1

Cut down your plant(s), laying them on a defensive sheet until you can hang them. 

Step 2

Trim away any additional fan leaves from your stalks. (you could likewise decide to do this before you chop down your plant in the event that you think that it is simpler) 

Step 3

Hang your stalks topsy turvy to dry in a faintly lit, moistness controlled ‘room.’ Generally, a storeroom is adequate, insofar as you can give an air course and keep light out. Make a kind of clothing line for your stalks to hold tight, or get imaginative utilizing garments holders or other family unit things. But don’t worry, we’ll get to it later to help you make your own. 

Keep your drying room around 70 degrees F and the dampness between 45 – 55% utilizing a hygrometer to screen. This procedure can take around 10 days. Then again, you may utilize a work tower drying rack and spot your reaped buds (removed from the stalks) spread out in each different compartment and drape the whole tower in a temperature-controlled room or storage room. 

Step 4

Your buds are dried enough when littler stems snap off as opposed to twisting. On the off chance that any of the stems are still too bendy, don’t expel them as there is still water inside the plant that will discover out, later on, making the potential for shape. 

Keep an eye on your yield each day or so to screen where your drying procedure is at and make vital changes with your wind current, A/C in the event that you are utilizing it, humidifiers, and so on, in the event that you notice your buds appear to be excessively wet or dry during the procedure.

How to Cure Your Buds?

Step 1

Place your recently dried buds into artisan containers, with about 25% breathing room at the top. On the off chance that you utilized strategy 3a in the drying procedure, utilizing great nursery scissors expel the buds from the stalks and quickly place them in artisan containers. Keep these containers at 60 – 65% mugginess, again utilizing your hygrometer to screen. Bricklayer containers are significant over others as they remain totally fixed and don’t give buds a chance to dry out and lose intensity. 

Step 2

Shake it like a polaroid picture! Joking, don’t shake it that hard. Give the container a delicate shake with the cover on to guarantee the buds can move around. In the event that they are remaining together, keep the tops off the containers for a couple of hours, and check once more. 

Step 3

Over the following, hardly any weeks, open the entirety of your containers each other day or something like that. This is designated “burping.” It enables the bud to inhale, ought to there be any additional dampness left, avoiding mold generation. It additionally offers you a chance to examine how the buds are relieving and in the event that you have to haul any out should despite everything they are excessively wet around then in the restoring procedure. 

Step 4

Sample your bud! 

Now that you already know everything about curing and drying your buds, here are some tips on how to make your own racks for it.

Branch Rack

Materials Needed:

• A branch from a tree: choose any that could handle your newly harvest weed well
• Thick Rope
• Twine
• Scissors
• And of course, your weed!

Guide How To:

1. To start, utilize a standard bunch to attach the jute rope as far as possible of the branch, leaving a bit ‘tail’ free.
2. At that point, fold the twine over the rope and the ‘tail.’
3. Tie a couple of bunches in the twine as I went to ensure it wasn’t going to self-destruct following a moment.
4. Next, do something very similar on the opposite side of the branch.
5. With the weed drying rack completed, tie a heap of your buds to the branch.
6. Finally, leave a tad of room in the middle of packs to enable air to flow unreservedly as the buds dry.

Macrame Rack

Materials Needed:

• Scissors
• Embroidery Hoop: you can choose any size you want for your own rack
• Small S Hooks
• Twine
• And oh, don’t forget your buds!

Guide How To:

1. Cut six pieces of twin in a length of 10 ft each.
2. Assemble your strings in gatherings of two and crease them into halves. Circle each collapsed, gathering around the loop. Spot the collapsed end under the circle and force the closures over the band and through the circle made by the collapsed end. Rehash with the other two gatherings and space them similarly separated around the band, around 10-1/2 inches separated.
3. To make a square bunch lay your four strands from one of your groupings level on a table. Take the outside string on the left-hand side and spot it over different strands. Take the outside string on the correct side and spot it over the string going over, at that point under the two focus strands, at that point through the extreme left circle. Force tight and rehash these means beginning the right. Spot the extreme right string over different strands. Take the extreme left string and spot it over the crossed strand, under the middle strands and through the circle on the left. Draw tight, and you have finished one square bunch.
4. Keep including square bunches until you have 3 full bunches on each gathering of strings.
5. 3 inches from the highest point of your square bunches, you will begin the winding. To make a truly winding impact, you just recurrent the primary portion of the square bunch. Lay your strands level. Spot the outside left strand over the rest of the strands. Spot the outside right strand over the string over, under the middle strings, and through the left circle. Force tight. Rehash, continually beginning with the outside left string. (Rather than rotating which side you start the bunch, start on a similar side and the macrame will curve.) Continue the half bunches until your winding estimates 1-1/2 inches. Rehash on the other two groupings.
6. To make intrigue, separate the strings into up to the minute sets. Place the circle level and settle the strings of two gatherings of strands that are alongside one another level on the table. From the left-hand gathering, take the two strands on the privilege, and from the right-hand gathering, take the two strands on the left to make another gathering of four. Three crawls from the highest point of the spirals get this new gathering together with 2 full squares hitches. Rehash this means with different strands.
7. 6 inches from the last bunches get every one of the strands together with the half bunch. Pick two long outside strands. Spot the outside left strand over the various strands. Spot the outside right strand over the strand running over, at that point under focus strands, and through the circle in the left. Draw tight and rehash until you have a winding estimating 2 inches.
8. Add the last square bunches to make a circle for hanging. 6 inches over your huge winding, total three square bunches, climb an inch, and afterward make two all the more square bunches. Trim the strings, and your portable is prepared to hang. Utilize the hole between the gatherings of square bunches to drape your versatile from a snare.
9. Gathering your buds into packs and tie with string. Supplement one side of the S guide into the circle of the string.
10. Hang your portable and snare your buds on the ring. Enable your buds to dry totally and appreciate them until one or 2 years from today’s gathering.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your ass up and do it!

What Are Weed Buds?

Marijuana plants, or cannabis, if you prefer, is considered a unique plant that can be utilized for a variety of ways. Mainly, marijuana is used to enhance the mood as well as to cure certain illnesses. Cannabis plants are grown indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse and have a wide range of strains that offer different flavors. They need both basic and some specialized, caring techniques to grow healthy and beautifully. However, the most favorite part of cannabis enthusiasts is the buds. Along with this question, how to dry weed buds fast?

From the seeds to the flowers, and the buds of a marijuana plant, growers can find some delight. However, the most favorite part of cannabis enthusiasts is the buds. Marijuana buds are the most flavorful, tasty, and aromatic section of the plant. They can smoke it or extract oil that can be added to other goodies.

The Right Time for Weed Bud Harvesting

Growers must be alert in checking their crops, especially during harvest time. Harvesting too early and too late may result in a low-quality of buds. Collecting the plants at the right time is as important as how one grows cannabis. They might lose potency, and the yield may be less.

Therefore, to help seasoned growers and newbies, here is a list of the steps to follow for the right time for harvesting your beloved crops.

1. The Knowledge of When the Right Time for Harvest Is

Either from a manual or research you conducted, you should keep in mind the exact day for harvest.

2. Keen Observation and Eyes for Visual Inspection

You should be able to notice considerable changes into the appearance of the sensitive parts of your cannabis like the pistils, buds, and the leaves. They tell so many things about you cannabis aside from ripening.

3. Use of a Magnifying Tool

There are some parts and attributes that are not visible to the naked eyes, which calls for a little help of devices like the magnifying glass to see even the smallest changes in your crops.

Preparing the Weed for Consumption

When you already know the right time for harvest, the next thing to do is perform the yield of cannabis crops.
To begin the harvest, you must also prepare the necessary tools listed below beforehand:

Trimmers

Specifically, this includes handheld scissors, mechanical, and electric trimmers, which are very important in the process.

Trim Trays

This tool helps in holding harvested crops as well as in catching the excess kief and sugar leaves through its wire screen. It makes harvesting easier since you do not need to take a table with you during collection.

Gloves

This hand tool shall protect your hand in terms of the sticky resin of the plant, including the stinky odor that may last long after trimming and then prevent the contamination of the buds. Your gloves may be nitrile or latex.

Lines

Clothing lines are where you are going to hang the plants. It doesn’t matter what material it is, but make sure that it is sturdy enough to hold the cannabis up until drying is done successfully.

Tips on How to Dry Weed Buds fast

After harvesting your precious weeds, what you need to prepare for next is the drying of the marijuana buds. Just like in harvesting, specific steps need to be followed in doing it the right way.

Tip #1 Use Brown Bags, and Computer Fans

Brown bags that you get from bakery and groceries are suitable materials for drying up cannabis. Leave the marijuana in the brown bag for 2 to 3 days and then another three days for another complete drying. After that, use your laptop computer for the next step. Notice the exhaust fans that release hot air for keeping the internal parts of the computer working well. Place the half-dried cannabis buds in a brown bag to the direction of the hot air. After 10 minutes, the herbs will be ready.

Tip #2 Sun-dry The Weeds

This is the traditional way of drying the buds that have been practiced many years ago. However, this may not be the most efficient method to perform because the sunlight and the heat can lower their quality. If you do not find this one successful and productive for your purpose, try using a rock to weigh down the bud bags exposed in direct sunlight and wait for a day or two during warm or sunny weather. After that, you shall have a bag of crunchy buds to smoke.

Tip #3 If You Have a Drying Room at Home, Convert it Into a Drying Room

With the boiling water keeping the room cozy and less humid, drying the bud is undoubtedly natural. Just keep them in that room for a day or two.

You must not feel bad or tired of the things that you must do for your marijuana crops, for at the end of the process, you shall receive the most beautiful reward of great enjoyment.

Would you like to go from seed to bud faster and less expensive? A quicker, space-sparing and practical approach to development is the no veg, seed to bloom, 12-12 light cycle strategy. Is 12/12 from seed justified, despite all the trouble? Is it a decent method to get enormous yields as fast as could reasonably be expected? 

The answer is no; however, there is truth to the thought behind starting the blooming stage as quickly as time permits! At the point when changed marginally, a similar essential system will give you a lot greater yields while adding next to zero additional time before collect. 

What is the 12/12 Cultivation System?

12-12 just alludes to the long periods of light and haziness; a cannabis plant is presented to 12 – 12 of each. Ordinarily, a cannabis plant is presented to an 18-6 light cycle. This tells the cannabis plant conditions are useful for development, and it centers around working upsize and foliage. At the point when the light cycle is changed to 12-12 (either normally or through human intercession), it tells the cannabis the seasons are changing, and the time has come to blossom. By compelling a 12-12 light period from the beginning, the cannabis plant goes straightforwardly into a blossoming, in an offer to imitate. You are basically fooling the plant into a deduction. The developing season is reaching a conclusion, so it needs to deliver blossoms as soon as possible.

For quite a long while, it has been doing an elective method for developing inside, setting aside time and cash on the power bill. It is a straightforward procedure that doesn’t require noteworthy additional endeavors, just a little better control of culture parameters. 

We talk about the way of life at 12-12 from seed. Indoor crops are generally constantly offered four to about a month and a half of development to seed before changing their light cycle and pass them to blossom.

Developing 12-12 from seed isn’t just conceivable, yet in addition will spare us vitality, which converts into cost investment funds for our pockets. 

The way of life procedure is indistinguishable, however, with a couple of minor alterations as definite underneath for anybody keen on evaluating this technique.

12/12: Its Method

Developing with a 12-12 photoperiod is an answer for space and asset issues. This strategy disposes of the vegetation period of development and powers the plant to go straight into blossom from a seedling. Yields are lower than that of a normally developed cannabis plant; however, results are acquired a lot quicker, with a couple of favorable circumstances.

Growing 12-12 is as basic as changing the planning on your light cycles, giving your plants equivalent measures of day and night directly from when they grow. The plants will appear to be unique to a cannabis plant that experiences vegetative development. Photosensitive hormones in cannabis make the most noteworthy point the largest cola. This technique is everything except it ensures just fundamental bud development on each little plant. Basically, you will grow a cola with a couple of short, matured side branches – with the plant fundamentally being a bud in itself. Make certain to stake your plants. 

Everything to which you would focus on a typical development stays unaltered are still similarly as significant. pH and water quality, supplement blending, bug control, develop medium conditions, EC, and ppm all still assume their significant jobs in the wetness and weight of your completed item.

Developing along these lines still requires all the information that would be expected to blossom plants with some other strategy, and upkeep schedules still stay unaltered. After weakened supplements, while still youthful, treat your plants as you would during an ordinary bud cycle. Be that as it may flush more regularly, like clockwork probably, in order to maintain a strategic distance from salt development in the little pots. 

The 12-12 lighting strategy makes the development cycle 7-9 weeks all in all, as opposed to any longer time required when giving plants a vegetative stage. For the space-obliged, and those ready to trial and give it prior, it very well may be a fantasy worked out as expected.

Finished with master practice and a willing strain of Cannabis Seeds, it isn’t obscure to create 1 gram of ganja for each watt of lighting. That is a noteworthy 250g in 7-9 weeks for a 250W light in a little organizer!

12/12: Choosing The Right Genetics

One of the requirements to develop with this strategy is choosing the correct hereditary qualities for indoor. This is habitually done by choosing at least one known strains or strains with favored hereditary qualities and afterward, growing a number of plants to discover which display the attributes generally attractive. These hereditary qualities ought to regularly yield in any event 1 gram for each watt every long stretch of blossom. The Indica assortments don’t develop quick and simply sprout to twofold their stature during blooming; they additionally don’t build up the root framework much like different assortments, so absolutely it’s not prescribed to be refined to 12-12 with Indica assortments. 

Sativa or hybrid diversities are generally appropriate for this harvest. Their energy and developing root advancement during the entire culture make them a perfect contender for this assignment. 

The way of life must be made beginning from seed or from cuttings since the cuttings need a time of adjustment and pre-blooming root advancement.

Plant attributes are commonly chosen for include: 

• Generally, yield 
• Time of enjoyment
• Protection from bugs
• Geometric attributes (consistency, smallness, blossom thickness, and so on.) 
• Shading 
• The flavor and additionally fragrance 
• Advance to an end purchaser (known as “pack offer”) 
• Psychoactive characteristics 
• Trichome thickness and type (stalked or sessile)

12/12: Advantages

• Lights have full infiltration to the floor. Watch out for the dirt wetness as lights will dry the medium snappier than if secured by a shade 
• This strategy is quick. 7-9 weeks all things considered 
• Less dramatization cutting as there are far fewer sugar leaves to manage 
• Plants are simpler to deal with for upkeep 
• Can develop in minor zones 
• Spare mileage on moving parts 
• Economical-friendly

However, there’s only one significant issue for 12/12 from seed cultivation system. It causes hindered development and little yields. The outcomes in yields that are frequently under 1 ounce for every plant, considerably under solid develop lights.

12/12: Start Your Own

Utilize a little parcel of your blossoming room (or a different bureau or grow box) for planting under two or three glaring lights. Start 19-22 days before you intend to reap. Utilize 9×9 cm or 10 x10 cm plastic compartments loaded up with soil, or use Rockwool starter attachments of 7.5×7.5 cm. On the off chance that you choose to utilize starter plugs, flush them well and include a minor piece of nourishment to the water. Spot the fittings together firmly and try to include a layer of 2 cm Hydrodensa or perlite underneath the starter attachments to avoid root harm. While sprouting in starter plugs, make a point to include 1-2 cm Hydro or developing soil over the seed.

To ensure you get even germination, absorb your seeds for 50 hours wet cotton fleece before putting them in compartments or starter plugs. At customary, ordinary indoor temperatures planting the seeds will develop inside 50-55 hours. Every one of the seeds, including the ones that have not so much opened, are then set in the following medium. Spot one seed in every compartment, ideally each at a similar profundity of 0.7 mm! Ensure you use Hydrodensa or an exceptional seed-starter blend containing some sand, or blend in any event 40% argil with the fertilized soil. 

On the off chance that you avoid this progression, the seed coat (or testa) on a portion of your seedlings will adhere to the leaves and go along when the seedling grows. The plant won’t stay stocky and minimal as we need; however, it will begin to extend and become leggy in light of the fact that the little plant ‘thinks’ it is still underneath the dirt and keeps on extending looking for light.

On average, your plants will arrive at a tallness of around 75-80 cm. It might sound peculiar to develop plants under 12 hours, yet you will be flabbergasted. By adhering to 12 hours, the seedlings are compelled to very quickly pick sex with the goal that when you collect three weeks after the fact, your crisp women are prepared to consume the develop room since you have cut off the guys around day 16-18. So as to get enthusiastic plants, it’s significant to give your seedlings a great deal of splendid direct light from the earliest starting point. The fluorescents should be near the seedlings, only an inch over the foliage is perfect. 

On the off chance that that in one way or another is incomprehensible at most two inches. The best fluorescents to utilize are Philips 33 Cool White! Keep away from Cool White Deluxe! Add a few Philips 830 to get enough of the red range. One red to each white is perfect. Lack of red light makes such a large number of guys develop. On the off chance that your store doesn’t convey Philips fluorescents, they typically have reference tables accessible that show the comparing shades of different brands.

There are a few haters of this technique; however, many love it. The individuals who despise it regularly have not really attempted it. It is tied in with giving it a go and seeing what works for you. Regardless of whether you rule against it in the wake of attempting it, everything extends your insight as a cultivator.
