Determining the correct time to harvest cannabis is critical to maximizing potency, flavor, and overall quality. This Cannabis Training University guest blog explains why professional growers rely on trichome maturity—not pistil color—to make precise, data-driven harvest decisions.

The Himalayan region remains one of the last places where cannabis grows close to its original evolutionary form. Understanding these landraces helps educators, researchers, and growers reconnect with the plant’s genetic roots.

We rebuilt our VIVOSUN grow tent after harvest with a fresh 50/50 living soil mix, upgraded lighting, and improved airflow for winter conditions. This reset creates a clean, stable environment that gives our Ed Rosenthal Super OG clones the healthiest possible start.

Upgrading our tent with the Vivosun LumaLight system—400W, 200W, and full side lighting—immediately transformed plant structure, canopy coverage, and overall vigor. This blog breaks down why balanced spectrum, even distribution, and proper light geometry matter so much for indoor cannabis performance.

Smart environmental control is the key to stable VPD, consistent growth, and stress-free cannabis cultivation. Upgrading to a smart controller allowed us to fine-tune temperature, humidity, and airflow so the environment finally works for the plants instead of against them.

Upgrading to a true 4-in-1 climate system transformed our tent by stabilizing temperature, humidity, and VPD under high-output LEDs. With cooling, heating, drying, and airflow all handled by one smart unit, our environment finally stays consistent from lights-on to lights-off.

Triploid cannabis is revolutionizing cultivation with bigger yields, seedless buds, and improved plant vigor—all through natural breeding methods. This article breaks down the science behind triploids and showcases Humboldt Seed Company’s OG Triploid strain as a game-changing option for growers.

What Is Powdery Mildew on Cannabis?

Powdery mildew (caused by fungal species like Golovinomyces cichoracearum) is one of the most common—and frustrating—issues for cannabis growers. The spores are everywhere, traveling through air, on clothes, tools, and pets. Once conditions are right, they colonize plant surfaces, particularly young leaves and stems.
