Outdoors in a Puerto Rican summer
Summer in Puerto Rico presents one of the biggest challenges for cannabis cultivation, but also a unique opportunity to develop strong, aromatic plants. Our tropical climate offers excellent sunlight, although the high temperatures and humidity require growers to pay constant attention to the environment. One of the most common mistakes during this season is overwatering. Although the heat is intense, too much water can cause root problems and encourage harmful fungi. Therefo

GROW FROM SEED SOWING

SOWING | TRAINING & TOPPING by Enrique Dominguez
If you've ever visited an indoor grow operation, you'll have noticed that the plants' shape is a bit different from their natural form. Let me explain. Naturally, this plant, like many others, has a structure with a main stem whose apex is located at the top of the plant, and then several secondary stems at a similar height lower down. Naturally, the sun rises and sets at the sides, providing direct sunlight to plants from all angles throughout the day. However, in indoor cul
