Coco Coir Pots
Title: Harnessing the Green Magic of Coco Coir Pots for Sustainable Gardening
Introduction: Coco coir pots, the eco-friendly alternative to traditional plant containers, are taking the gardening world by storm. These biodegradable pots, derived from coconut husk fiber, offer numerous benefits for both garden enthusiasts and the environment. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of coco coir pots exploring their many advantages and how they contribute to sustainable gardening practices.
Understanding Coco Coir Pots: Coco coir pots, also known as coir pots or coir planters, are made from coconut coir, a natural fiber extracted from coconut husks. Unlike plastic or clay pots, coco coir pots are biodegradable and have a unique ability to enhance plant growth.
Advantages of Coco Coir Pots: Let's explore some of the key benefits of using coco coir pots in your gardening endeavors:
Biodegradability: One of the most significant advantages of coco coir pots is their biodegradability. These pots break down naturally over time, eliminating the need for disposal and reducing environmental waste.
Reduced Transplant Shock: When it's time to transplant your seedlings or young plants, you can plant the entire coco coir pot directly into the soil. This reduces transplant stress and minimizes root disturbance, ensuring a smoother transition for your plants.
Improved Aeration: The porous nature of coir promotes aeration and air pruning of roots. This leads to healthier root development, as roots are encouraged to grow within the pot and not become root-bound.
Enhanced Moisture Retention: Coco coir is excellent at retaining moisture, which means you won't need to water your plants as frequently. It provides a consistent and steady supply of moisture to the roots.
pH Neutral: Coco coir has a neutral pH level, making it suitable for a wide range of plants. You can easily adjust the pH to match specific plant needs.
Eco-Friendly Alternative: Choosing coco coir pots supports eco-friendly gardening. By opting for biodegradable containers, you reduce plastic waste and minimize the environmental impact of traditional plastic pots.
Versatility: Coco coir pots come in various sizes, making them suitable for different types of plants, from small seedlings to larger ornamental trees. They can be used in both indoor and outdoor gardening.

Additional Uses of Coco Coir Pots: Coco coir pots aren't limited to just planting. Here are some other applications:
Mulching: Coir pots can be used as mulch. When placed on the soil's surface, they help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth.
Composting: When your coco coir pots are no longer needed, you can add them to your compost pile. They'll break down and enrich the compost with organic matter.
Craft Projects: The natural texture and appearance of coco coir make it a great material for various craft and art projects. Get creative and use coir in your DIY endeavors.
Conclusion: Coco coir pots are a game-changer for sustainable gardening. Their biodegradability, reduced transplant shock, and ability to improve plant growth make them a valuable asset for gardeners. By choosing these eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plant containers, you not only promote healthier plant growth but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Whether you're an avid gardener or just starting out, consider making the switch to coco coir pots and witness the green magic they bring to your garden.

So You Want to Make Some Plants Into Even More Plants?
A Quick + Dirty Guide to Propagation from An Amateur Who Likes Watching Roots Grow. (by Fran Tirpak)
propagation - n.
"multiplication or increase, as by natural reproduction."
1. Prepare!
Important: Sterilize your shears w/ rubbing alcohol.
Wear gloves -- some plants can irritate your skin when cut.
Gather supplies: shears, gloves, soil medium, pot, glass jar.
Optional: plant food, rooting hormone, cinnamon, tealight.
^ we'll talk about these all more later on.
2. Take your cutting!
Succulents -- just pop off a leaf!
Vining plants (Pothos, Monstera), cut below one of the root nodes.
Woody stems (fiddle leaf, rubber plant) -- cut with 1-3 leaves at the top
3. Root your cutting!
(Optional) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone. For a homemade method, dip in cinnamon, then seal with melted wax from an unscented tea candle.
Place the cutting in a glass of warm water in indirect sunlight.
Succulent owners: simply place your leaves flat on damp potting soil.
4. Plant the cutting
(the scariest part)
Once the cutting has roots (~3-4 weeks later) time to put it in soil.
Depending on your plant, your soil needs will change.
When in doubt: good drainage, airy & loose, added nutrients.
For tropicals: 1/2 peat moss or coco coir, 1/4 perlite or pumice, 15% orchid bark, 10% compost/organics (i.e. worm husks).
(For succulents, just watch 'em sprout!)
* Potting Tips
Experiment with lighting and humidity levels.
Try out LECA or a mix to slowly introduce your plant to solid ground.

Some tropical plants also have no prob being in water full-time!
5. Now you have a friend!
Pro tips: You can take props from anywhere (as long as you're responsible -- and sneaky).
There's no one way to care for a plant. Do your research, go with your gut, & have fun!

The Helix lucorum pair now have their very own setup, instead of squatting in the aspersum enclosure, and they're already more active.
The substrate in this cage is a LOT deeper, and the upper layer is composed of different stuff, to cater most toward forest substrate. The bulk of the lower level (the bottom 2-3 inches) is just coco coir, fir bark chips, soil, and sphagnum moss, while the upper layer is about half those things, and half crushed leaf litter and tree fern soil. And unlike the aspersum who only need around 3 inches, the lucorum have got around 8in:
It smells a lot different, more woody, and I hope that they'll like it better than the aspersum, who don't mind coir/sphagnum/bark chips alone. My understanding is the lucorum don't really like coco coir, so I tried to limit it up top where they'll mostly be interacting.
The top is moss, leaf litter, some maple bark, hides, and feed/water dishes. There are some oreo isopods in the bark to the bottom left, and it's been seeded with springtails. I plan to add some more plants for cover, as I'm able to get them.
I also want to grind up some moss to make a growing solution, to paint the pots and bark. But that's got to wait for supplies, too.

Cheap custom backgrounds?
Hi! Want to give your enclosure something like this?
Well let me help you do this in a affordable way to give your animal some new enrichment and climbing opportunities!! Theres a misconception fancy backgrounds are hard to do or are expensive to do. This is... Very much not true! So lets do the one above together! Heres an overview of the supplies you'll need: -Your Enclosure of choice -Cocofiber and Sphagnum moss(OPTIONAL, can opt to paint) -Aquarium grade Silicone -Great stuff pond and Stone -Cork bark, roots, sticks, small rocks(OPTIONAL) First things first, you're going to want an enclosure.
This is a DUBIA 4ftX2ftx2ft[LengthsXwidthXHeight), Also known as a 48"L x 24"W x 24"H(Inches) or a 120 Gallon Enclosure. This is considered the researched minimum size for common exotics like Ball pythons, Corn snakes, Bearded Dragons and the like to thrive. *Disclaimer: Im aware there is several groups and movements who are pushing for a 5x3x2(ft) minimum for Bearded dragons, I ultimately agree with them and the advancement of exotic keeping, but a Bearded won't suffer in a 4x2x2. Dubia Enclosures are some of the cheapest in the market, however they're decent for the price. They are stackable which makes it great for saving space, but please note they can NOT hold a lot of weight, so be mindful of that.
I own 3 of these. Two Version 1s and on Version 2, which is the one above. The V2s are generally nicer in design in my opinion, theyre functional more importantly. Once you have your enclosure of choice, lay it on its back as shown in in the first image. Next, you're going to want to prep your dry background. I use Organic Cocofiber and Sphagnum moss. I buy these extremely cheaply from Home depot or in bulk off Amazon. Make sure your material is COMPLETELY DRY! It will NOT stick if it has any moisture. Break apart your Cocofiber block and mix it with your dried Sphagnum moss in a container and have it ready on the side. I use the bulk Coco fiber, which costs about $23 for 5 bricks on Amazon. You can get them cheaper if you dont buy bulk, I do a lot of gardening and have a lot enclosures so its easier for me! https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Coco-Coir-Bricks-Compressed/dp/B01N1YP8O6?th=1 for a 4x2x2, I only use 2 bricks. Likewise, I buy Bulk moss for the same reason: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK7XMNWL?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_10&=&crid=1RDHFNSAUX0DF&sprefix=spaghnum%2Bm&th=1 You will only need. ONE BRICK. For the Sphagnum moss. Maybe even less than a brick. You're going to want to wet this then dry it before use. Dont be me. Dont be fooled over how small and thin those moss bricks are. I made the mistake of trying to wet an entire brick and I had to use a deep soup pot to contain it. It *explodes*. You will be buried in moss. You will scream and cry and beg for mercy as you are overwhelmed by the amount of moss Expanding from a singular brick. I am not exaggerating, I learned my lesson, please god, do not make the same mistakes I made. I still have. So, so much moss. Sometimes I still find Moss from my Mossaggeden. NOTE: Please make sure to use organic, and do not used DYED moss! Double check your ingredients, Dyed moss can be toxic to your animals! Next,
Silicone time, baby! You're going to want to use Aquarium grade Silicone from Home depot, please double check to make sure you're getting Aquarium grade! This will cost you a whopping $3 At Homedepot. The Caulking gun was an additional $12 if you dont have one already, however, it is re-usable so its a great one time purchase because I use that bad boy for a lot of my projects lmao. Once you struggle to open your stupid bottle of Silicone without exploding it like I have on several occasions; time to be silly!
We're going to Silicone this bad boy up reaaaaal good. Dont be me, USE GLOVES! It makes your life so much better I promise. So why are we doing this exactly? Its simple, this will help your background last! It gives it texture and helps the spray foam stay in place. It also keeps your background from peeling so easily, texture matters! Your hands going to be very tired after this. Youre going to want to leave this alone for the next 24-48 hours. Minimum. You want your silicone to dry and want to make sure the smell is gone before continuing to the next step!
This is the funnest part. Spray foam time! For the 4x2x2, I use about 3 Bottles of this stuff. Make sure you're using NON-TOXIC Spray foam! Pond and Stone is my favorite to work with. When I add things into the background, I make sure to have a 4th can of this stuff on me. This will be the most pricey part about it. Lowes has it for $12-14 a can, but its $15 a can on Amazon. This is really the only big 'expense' when it comes to backgrounding. Smaller enclosures use less, but bigger enclosures will need more. !!!!!!!THE NEXT STEPS NEED TO BE DONE TOGETHER!!!!!!!! Youre going to want to be fast about it if youre using my method. Start spraying random patterns into the background. Youre going to want to make sure youre covering every inch of the enclosure, you can do zigzags, cut it into triangles, squares, it doesnt matter. Different shapes give you different background textures, so go nuts!!! Dont leave space between the foam, and go ham. Theres no wrong way to do this. Once thats done though, you're going to want to do the next step IMMEDIATELY:
Adding your background texture and features!! This step MUST be done while the spray foam is still wet. First, take any rocks, cork, sticks, ext if youre adding them and shove them into the background. Dont have money to pay for expensive Reptile decor? You can sanitize your own rocks and sticks from outside yourself for free. I will make a guide about how I do that soon ahah. Press any features you want into the spray foam background nice and firm, then use the extra to spray around the items to secure them in place. Once you got your features in, its time to take your pre-prepped background and begin pouring it in! Spread it evenly across the enclosure. Do NOT worry if you have excess, poor it in anyway. Once you've poured the background in. GENTLY pat it over the sprayfoam. Next, you'll want to leave this to dry for the next 24 hours minimum. Leave it laying on its back so nothing drips or sags where you dont want it to!!! After 24hours, lift the enclosure and gently tap the back of it to knock off your excess background to reveal your background!
Annnnnnd you're done!!! Now you're free to add your lighting, real or fake plants, heating, substrate and other decor as you please! This can add so much more enrichment to your animal and give them so much more room to utalize their space. My individual personally loves his background and utilizes it all of the time! Contrary to belief, a lot of snakes aren't 'pet rocks' if you give them stuff to explore and climb. My guys out pretty often! Of course it comes down to personality too ahah.
Heres some pics of him using his climbing features! He prefers the middle climbing feature here and the one off to the right, where he uses to bask when he doesnt want to be seen and hangs out the top of it, or his bird perch when he doesn't mind being right there out in the open. c:
#reptiles#snake#herpetology#ball python#background#How to craft#Custom enclosure#Mossaggeden still haunts me#And my hands have known no peace since I started doing these#I hate silicone#More so I hate caulking#bioactive#tutorial#I picked up that little bird stand for like $15 at a local owned exotics store and thats been his favorite thing ever#Sanitized it real good and I have hundreds of pictures of him on that thing#I have a big one for my tree boa its like 5 ft tall#I cant wait to use that when shes ready for her adult enclosure#Did you know you can get a 10x10 growtent for like $300?#Thats a steal actually#Modify it real good and boom#perfect enclosure for like a 8ft tree boa#Im going to try growing a tree in it#Godspeed#dont let this flop#My hands will never recover from the amount of caulking ive done in my life

Cloning cannabis is a horticultural technique used to create genetically identical copies (clones) of a cannabis plant. This process allows growers to replicate a desirable parent plant without the need for seeds, ensuring that the new plants will have the same genetic characteristics as the original.
Here are the basic steps involved in cloning cannabis:
Select a Healthy Mother Plant: Start by choosing a healthy, robust cannabis plant with the desired characteristics you want to replicate. This plant is referred to as the "mother plant."
Gather Supplies: You'll need a few supplies, including a clean and sharp razor or scalpel, rooting hormone, small pots or rooting cubes, a cloning gel or solution, and a propagation tray or a humidity dome.
Prepare the Mother Plant: Take a cutting (clone) from the mother plant. This is typically done by cutting a branch or stem tip that has healthy growth and at least a few sets of leaves. Make the cut just below a leaf node. Remove any large fan leaves, leaving only a few smaller leaves at the top.
Treat the Clone: Dip the cut end of the clone in rooting hormone to encourage root development. This helps the clone establish itself when planted.
Plant the Clone: Place the treated clone in a small pot or rooting cube filled with a growing medium, such as soil, coco coir, or a specialized cloning mix. Make a small hole in the medium with a pencil or similar tool, insert the clone, and gently pack the medium around it.
Create a Suitable Environment: To ensure successful root development, maintain a high humidity environment. You can achieve this by placing the clones in a propagation tray with a humidity dome or using a plastic bag to cover them. Keep the clones under fluorescent or LED lights for optimal growth conditions.
Monitor and Maintain: Check the clones regularly to ensure they stay adequately hydrated and maintain the right temperature and humidity levels. Mist the clones with water to keep the humidity high, and make sure they receive gentle light to stimulate growth.
Transplanting: Once the clones have developed roots (usually in 2-4 weeks), they can be transplanted into larger pots or into the garden if you prefer outdoor cultivation.
Cloning is a popular technique among cannabis growers because it allows them to maintain genetic consistency and ensure that they are growing plants with known characteristics. It can also save time compared to growing from seeds, as clones skip the germination phase and start with a head start in growth.

i have compiled some native plant gardening tips for those of whom are new to it based on my own experiences and trials and errors, so here goes:
if you're germinating seeds, dont use coco coir. it sucks. ignore anyone who tells you to use it. it doesnt hold moisture well at all and doesnt decompose well. look for a "seed starter" soil instead, it will have a bunch of beneficial nutrients n such to get the seeds and their roots going. if you're concerned about peat, there are plenty out there that don't have any, coast of maine comes to mind. I used to think I needed to grow them in a sterile env, mostly to prevent mold, but I find that nearly impossible to avoid, so on to my next tip:
you're better off trying to start your native seeds outside. even if you wanna use cell trays, thats fine (bring them in when it freezes though), but preventing mold when germinating inside, especially in your fridge with all your food you sometimes forget is there and gets moldy, i've found to be nearly impossible. granted, mold isnt always a bad thing, it can help eat the seed coating so the roots can grow, but this obviously isnt true for all seeds and especially not small seeds. outside is your best bet, I just find less mold grows out there. might be good to make a mini green house of sorts to keep your seed trays in, obviously thats unnecessary if you're growing them in the ground.
if you're like me and have no real ground space and only have a patio or balcony and have to grow everything in pots, I have a couple tips for you actually, but for now lets focus on winter protecting your plants. most suggest burying them under ground... im assuming like me that isn't really an option for you, so we're gonna come up with another solution. you're probably going to need to invest a good amount of money into this, depending on if you have the material around or not. but to start off:
huddle all your pots together. they can help insulate eachother better and keep eachother warm. i try to put the least cold hardy ones in the center, if you can, put them all together in a larger container like a bucket or something and cover it with lots of mulch. water sparingly and lightly, enough to wet the soil but not enough to drip through the bottom of the pot. you should be sparingly watering anyways in winter, but especially so here since they'll probably be in a container that doesnt drain unless you want to drill in holes on the bottom. try to make sure the pots dont touch the sides of the containers if they're plastic and fill in the gaps with mulch or something, plastic isnt the best material to use for pots regardless, unfortunately its the cheapest and most readily available and comes in varying sizes so I cant get mad at you for using it.
heavily mulch your plants. maybe put some straw on top of the mulch too if you have any. I used to think leaves were enough but there's too much airy space between them, you want to make the insulation as compact as possible. if you're wanting to make a place for bumblebees to hibernate i'd suggest making an entirely different leaf pile or something unrelated to your plants. (obv doesnt apply to ppl growing stuff in the ground bc you have the privilege of being able to sprinkle leaves wherever you want. bastard.)
invest in some burlap fabric and some cheap towels or blankets for even more insulation, the fuzzier the blanket the better imo, but it should be fine whatever you choose, just try not to get too thin of a fabric. the burlap and blanket/towel might not be necessary to use every day but definitely on days where its below freezing. these also will last you every year, assuming you take care of them right. cover the tops of pots but also wrap around the sides of them and maybe put a layer or two of burlap down on the ground under them, esp if they're on cold hard concrete.
if you have any plants with tuberous roots, they are more vulnerable to freezing if they're in a pot and will need extra protection or to be brought inside during a freeze, to not shock it with a temperature shift try putting the pot in the fridge if you can, otherwise again it might be good to try to make a mini green house of sorts, maybe turn one of those plastic window well covers into one? or put it in a garage if you have something like that. they also, maybe obviously but just in case, dont need to be watered as often since they have lots of water stored in themselves.
putting your pots really close to the walls of your house can also help keep them warm. not sure if its enough to prevent them from freezing but combined with everything else? well, it's survived many of my plants over the last couple years (though i didnt know about the tuber thing until recently and it explains so much why certain plants didnt make it >_>)
ok moving on from winter. lets go back to talking about pots, bc seriously if you can get your hands on ANYTHING besides a plastic pot, jump on it. they suck universally. they suck in winter and in summer. their only benefit is providing some humidity but that's not really something I personally need as someone in a temperate climate. also, the lighter the pot the better. dark plastic pots can cook the roots of your plants in the sun in summer so you have to be extra careful. also, the deeper the pot the better for native plants.
because you're growing native plants in pots, they're going to need a lot more extra care. native plants in the ground can pretty much be neglected since nature takes care of it all, but you have to provide the water, soil, fertilizer, etc. so lets talk about that:
you dont need to water every day necessarily, the old trick of watering when the top 1-2 inches is dry is your best method to go by. if you live in the midwest or northeast or anywhere it gets heavy rain, it would be good to give them a deep watering every now and then, I try to follow what the rain does and water at the same frequency as it. it would be good to water daily (maybe only a small amount if the soil is still somehow wet) on really hot days even though you dont have to water every day, like on days above 90 degrees. also the best time to water, especially in summer, is early in the morning, ideally some time before 8, 9 is ok but 8 is better imo bc it gives the roots more time to absorb the water before the sun evaporates it, and around 10 is when that starts happening. if you have to water at night, water early at night and try to avoid watering the leaves if you can as water left over on them overnight can cause mold, mildew or other diseases. if you have to water mid day, at least wait until the sun isnt directly on the plants so they can actually absorb some of the water.
since you have to provide your own water and cant rely on rain, you also have to provide your own fertilizer. I mean you already did before, but I mean liquid fertilizer. rain transfers all kinds of vitamins and minerals to the plants that receive it, but you're likely not getting nearly as much in your tap, and since your pots likely aren't being shat in by various woodland creatures, they're getting even less fertilizer. so you have to provide the fertilizers, both slow and liquid. I thought I could just get by with slow release but the plants seem to do better with liquid too, especially when in bloom. if you use slow release you dont need to use the liquid fertilizer as often, and you also likely dont have to use the liquid as frequently as it says on the bottle, since native plants generally require less nutrients to begin with, but of course this is something you'll probably have to test on your own to see how much your plants want and tolerate. I have a whole feeding schedule I can share if you want. some brands I've been using for liquid fertilizer are foxfarm (they have good soil too), microlife, and maxsea (technically a powder but you mix it with water) and for slow release is foxfarm again, jobe's organics, and lilly miller's. I'm trying to use as organic of materials as I can since I'm growing the plants for native wildlife and pollinators and I dont want to negatively effect them as much as possible. if anyone wants to know what products I use specifically hmu or leave a reply.
I trust you're able to figure out your soil situation on your own, but here's some tips just in case: try to avoid brands like miracle grow since I'm pretty sure it has inorganic materials in it, generally I'd aim for the most organic thing you can find, assuming you're growing native plants for the same reason I am, for nature. also, take those messages about well-draining soil seriously, you can use perlite but also some soils are just lighter than others, I find foxfarms is pretty light and drains well.
during winter, leave the plants as they are, dont cut them down. lots of bugs and animals have made nests or homes or have cocoons n such in there. you can cut it down in the spring when frost is nor longer a concern, but dont throw it in the trash either bc the bugs might still be sleeping in them but will be less vulnerable now that winter is gone.
ok that's all I can think of for now, I'll add on to this if I think of anything else, but hopefully this is helpful for someone out there :]

How to Use Coconut Coir Pith in your Garden?
Using coconut coir pith, also known as coco peat or coir dust, in your garden offers several benefits, including water retention, aeration, and soil conditioning. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use coconut coir pith effectively in your garden:
Procure Coconut Coir Pith:
Purchase coconut coir pith from gardening stores, nurseries, or online suppliers. It is commonly available in compressed bricks or blocks.
Rehydrate the Coir Pith:
Place the compressed coir pith bricks in a large container or tub.
Add water to the container, allowing the coir pith to absorb moisture and expand.
Allow the coir pith to soak in water for several hours or overnight until fully rehydrated.
Mix with Soil or Potting Mix:
Once fully rehydrated, fluff up the coir pith with your hands to loosen it.
Mix the rehydrated coir pith with your garden soil or potting mix in a ratio of 1:1 or as desired. Alternatively, you can use coir pith as a soilless growing medium.
Use as Soil Amendment:
Incorporate the rehydrated coir pith into your garden soil as a soil amendment to improve its structure, moisture retention, and aeration.
Dig the coir pith into the soil to a depth of a few inches, ensuring even distribution throughout the garden bed.
Mulching:
Spread a layer of rehydrated coir pith on the soil surface around plants as mulch.
Mulching with coir pith helps conserve soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and regulates soil temperature.
Seed Starting and Container Gardening:
Use rehydrated coir pith as a growing medium for starting seeds indoors or in seed trays.
Fill seed trays or pots with a mixture of coir pith and perlite or vermiculite for optimal seed germination and seedling growth.
Hydroponic and Aquaponic Systems:
Rehydrated coir pith can also be used as a growing medium in hydroponic and aquaponic systems.
Place the coir pith in growing containers or hydroponic trays and use it to grow plants without soil.

String of pearls
I've grown this plant for several years now, but I had never repotted her...it was time.
I took her out of her plastic pot that was slightly smaller than this clay pot. This whole time I had the plastic pot inside of that clay pot, so I decided to simply pot her directly in the clay one.
I added my regular soil mix of coco coir, perlite and smart release fertilizer and also gave her a haircut.
Let's see how she continues to grow 🪴

3/9/24
Big spring sale at the nursery today, so we bought tomato and pepper starts. I potted them up and left them on the east wall by the potatoes:
The Chile de árbol had 2 plants in 1 pot, so I delicately split them. Hopefully they both survive.
I sowed French marigold, alyssum, and emerald tower basil, also on the east wall. Ideally, I’ll remember to check on the east wall while tending to the other beds:
And I looked at previous entries, and yes my poppies are coming in a bit later and more sparingly than last year. The whole yard was in full bloom by 4/1/23; this year, the flowers haven’t even started to develop yet. Could it be the new wildflower seeds I sowed a few months back? Less rainfall than last year? Weeds or depleted soil? I’ll keep an eye on them this season.
I finally started organizing the sheds. There’s a lot left to do so I’ll show it off when it’s done. I need to get: landfill compost, coco coir, sand, stakes for another arch trellis, possibly a small wheelbarrow.

How to Grow Cannabis
Growing cannabis can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it requires careful planning and attention to detail. In this guide, we will explore the best practices for growing cannabis, including popular keywords to help make this article SEO-friendly.
Choose the Right Strain
The first step in growing cannabis is choosing the right strain. Popular keywords for strains include sativa, indica, and hybrid. Sativa strains tend to be uplifting and energetic, while indica strains are more relaxing and sedative. Hybrid strains are a combination of both and offer a balance of effects. It's important to research different strains and choose one that suits your needs and growing conditions.
Provide Adequate Lighting
Lighting is crucial for cannabis growth and development. Popular keywords for lighting include LED, HPS, and CFL. LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, while HPS lights provide intense light and are popular for flowering stages. CFL lights are a cost-effective option for smaller grows. It's important to choose the right type of lighting for your grow space and to provide adequate light intensity for optimal growth.
Maintain Proper Temperature and Humidity
Cannabis plants thrive in specific temperature and humidity ranges. Popular keywords for temperature control include thermostat, thermometer, and hygrometer. It's important to monitor the temperature and humidity levels regularly and make adjustments as necessary. A thermostat can help control the temperature, while a hygrometer can measure humidity levels. Keeping the environment consistent is crucial for healthy growth.
Use Quality Soil and Nutrients
Quality soil and nutrients are essential for healthy cannabis growth. Popular keywords for soil include potting mix, compost, and coco coir. It's important to choose soil with the right nutrient balance and pH level. Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are necessary for healthy growth. It's important to research and choose the right nutrients for your specific strain and growing conditions.

I was absolutely not prepared for how root bound my ctenanthe lubbersina was holy shit. There was maybe an inch of coco coir at the top and a bit in the center. I was just pulling dead roots out and teasing the healthy ones apart by hand, but I ended up taking a hose to it to try to get some more loosened and it barely did anything. I feel so bad that I didn't re-pot it sooner, I can only imagine how long it's been in the same like, 5" pot for it to get this bad. But! They're all cozy in a cute new 12" pot and will hopefully enjoy all the extra space and forgive me for the rough treatment of it's roots lol

How to grow cannabis hydroponically
Step by step instructions to Develop Aquaculture Marijuana
This article is supported by Broad Aquaculture, the main trailblazer in the field of aqua-farming for over 35 years.
What Is Aquaculture Pot?
The normal moniker for pot — “weeds" — comes from its capacity to develop anyplace, under fluctuating circumstances and various environments. "Tank-farming weed" just alludes to plants developed utilizing a supplement water arrangement and an idle developing medium instead of supplement rich soil. This strategy could be something as fundamental as hand-watering pots of latent medium with a supplement arrangement. As examined in the initial segment of this series, complex frameworks with different siphons, clocks, and repositories can take a portion of the everyday work out of developing, however they require more upkeep and arrangement time as well as a more noteworthy starting speculation.
Marijuana producers have been involving different tank-farming strategies for a long time as a method for expanding yields and accelerate development, the two primary benefits of soilless developing. Working with soils inside can be wasteful and challenging for various reasons:
You will most likely be unable to reuse soil
Helplessness to bother issues
Hard to decide appropriate measure of supplements
Need to screen soil pH cautiously
Soil quality essentially impacts the eventual outcome
For certain aqua-farming strategies, you get to utilize limited quantities of develop media that can frequently be reused while likewise exactly controlling what supplements the plants are getting and pH levels. With such degrees of control, producers observe that their buds are greater, better and more powerful.
Whether you have developed pot previously or have no experience developing weed at all, tank-farming can be an extraordinary method for creating marijuana in any size space. At first it tends to be confounding and marginally overpowering, however by learning the rudiments you will come to comprehend it's not quite as troublesome as you envisioned.
1. Setting up the Fundamentals
1. In the event that you haven't as of now yet, consider developing cannabis the conventional way before you develop hydro. Developing tank-farming pot is somewhat more troublesome than developing pot in soil: You're streamlining for supplements, light, and ventilation, which can be hard on the off chance that you've never developed maryjane before.[1] Don't be guaranteed to hope to hop directly from 0 to 60 easily. Albeit developing is simple assuming you have the right information and data, it generally requires investment to assemble both of those things.
Then again, different limitations might pressure you to reveal more than was prudent and force you to get going developing hydro. To attempt hydro, realize that you can find actual success. Investigate as needs be yet try not to tell your companions or colleagues. Nothing can get you closed down faster than yakking about your hydro unit.
Consider developing different plants hydroponically notwithstanding pot. Developing hydro doesn't have to mean simply developing weed. You can develop lettuce, tomatoes, or even mushrooms hydroponically. Exploring different avenues regarding these harvests initially may show you important illustrations you can utilize while developing maryjane.
2. Acquire every one of the essential things. Assuming that you're mindful so as to search around, you ought to have the option to get all that you want for five plants for $300-$500. You ought to hope to get 1-3 ounces off each plant toward the end. You will require (see the Things You'll Need segment underneath for additional subtleties):
Cannabis seeds or clones
White paint or mylar
Tank-farming supplements
Pots
Preparing medium like coco coir
Reduced bright lights (CFLs)
A clock
pH soil test
3. Prep your walls. Plants develop with the guide of light. On the off chance that you're developing inside, this presents to some degree an issue. Many develop rooms are housed in dull spaces where light is assimilated rather than reflected. To get the most value for your money — and to make the most ideal weed — you'll maintain that your walls should either be painted a reflexive white or be covered with mylar.
Painting your walls a semi-gleam or level white is most likely the easiest arrangement. The compliment the white, the better, as gleaming white reflects generally 55% of the light coming from your source. Titanium white may be your smartest choice in the event that you really do choose to paint.
Mylar is exceptionally intelligent. It has a reflection pace of generally 90%, making it a substantially more proficient covering material than something like aluminum foil. But since mylar mirrors light and intensity effectively, you'll should be certain that you have legitimate ventilation in your develop room.
2. Lighting and Ventilation
Set up your develop lights. They ought to begin somewhat higher than the level of your pots, and ought to have space to be raised to the last level of your plants. There are 1,000,000 methods for setting up or hang the lights and you should do what works for your develop region. The easiest strategy is to either balance them from the bar in your storeroom or you can likewise cinch the lights onto something close by that is the right level.
Brace reflectors are perfect for utilizing CFLs. The attachment is now connected, no wiring or electrical work is truly required, and the lodging assists with mirroring however much light as could reasonably be expected. Recall that any abundance light that doesn't hit your plants is squandered light.
3. Developing and Planting
Develop your pot seed. To get your weed seed to grow, essentially wet a huge paper towel and softly envelop your seeds by between the paper towels. Place the paper towel and cover with one more plate to ensure the paper towel doesn't dry out.[6] On the other hand, place the sodden paper towel in a sealable plastic sack and rest some place dim and warm for no less than 24 hours.
4. Really focusing On Your Plant
Water your plants with pH'ed and supplement filled water at whatever point the highest point of the coco coir begins feeling dry. This will begin with you watering the plants each several days when they're little, and may wind up with you watering them once per day towards the finish of the plant's blossoming cycle.
Guarantee that to some degree some additional run-off water comes out the lower part of the compartment at whatever point you water your plants to guarantee that unused supplements don't develop in your medium. Coco coir and perlite are extremely sympathetic in the event that you unintentionally finished or submerged your plant, however make a point to change your watering plan likewise in the event that you notice your plant's leaves are withering or hanging.
5. Collecting and Relieving
Collect your plants when they're prepared by chopping down the entire plant or removing bits of buds all at once.
There are numerous techniques to decide the ideal opportunity to gather your plant. Essentially, you need to reap when 50-75% of the white pistils/hairs have become golden/brown.
One more method for telling is the point at which the trichomes (otherwise called precious stones or tar organs) are either all white/smooth or half white and half golden.
Gathering prior will give a smarter or in-your-mind marijuana experience while collecting later will give you a heavier or seriously loosening up cannabis experience. You will need to investigation to figure out what gather opportunity is the most ideal best for you.
