How Does Color Spectrum Affect Growing Marijuana Plants? 💡🔴🌳🔵💡 |
|
|
What is the Color Spectrum of Light? Although natural light might appear white to us, it is actually made up of many different colors. You can see this in action when you put light through a prism, or if you catch the sight of a rainbow. When light is refracted into its individual parts, you can see all the colors that make up that light. All light is made of many colors, which you can see in a rainbow. Over the years, scientists have learned that plants actually make “decisions” about how to grow based on the spectrum of light they receive. A different color spectrum can change how cannabis germinates, grows, and even makes buds. Although we have few options to change the spectrum of sunlight when growing outdoors, we have almost complete control of the spectrum when growing cannabis
indoors since we’re using grow lights. So what’s the “best” light spectrum for growing cannabis? Unfortunately, that’s a big question since each spectrum has its own unique effects and some are more useful to you than others, but let me share everything we know so you can decide what’s best for your goals and situation. The different colors in a light spectrum change how cannabis plants grow.
10 Heartbreaking Moments in Growing Weed |
As the scorching hot summer in San Diego of 2008 was about to hit its peak, a wannabe cannabis grower filled a solo cup with soil and planted her first seed. A few days later, her heart filled with pride as a fragile seedling emerged from the soil. She felt determined to nurture this sprout with love and care. |
Then about 2 weeks later, on a Friday afternoon, she received an unexpected phone call from a friend. “Come visit me in Los Angeles this weekend!” Without thinking, our first-time grower answered, “Yes, let me pack my bag!” As she hung up the phone, excited about her new weekend plans, she suddenly remembered her beautiful happy cannabis seedling. It was
getting too big for its little solo cup. She was watering it every day to keep it from drying out. How could she keep it watered while she was gone for 3 days? In a moment of desperation, she put the seedling in a bowl of water and left for her trip, hoping for the best. While she was gone, the temperature in San Diego soared to 98°F (37°C). But she was having so much fun she didn’t even think about her seedling at home, which happened to be in a room with the AC turned
off… When she got home, she was greeted by this heartbreaking scene. As you may have realized, that grower was me, and this poor seedling was my first plant on the verge of death. The overwatering (you should never let a plant sit directly in water!) combined with heat had almost killed my poor seedling. I almost cried (okay, maybe I did shed a few tears). Luckily, in this case, I was able to give the plant some TLC and bring it back from
the dead. Whether you've been growing cannabis for a while or are a total beginner, you'll eventually face your own heartbreaking moment. Sometimes you can fix things, and sometimes you have to come to terms with losing a plant. I decided to put a list together of 10 common heartbreaking growing events so you're mentally prepared and won't be too hard on yourself. This stuff happens to every grower, including me. 10 Heartbreaking Moments in Growing Weed
What are these little flowers on my cannabis plant? |

|
A grower wrote in, "What are these little flowers on my cannabis plant?" I wanted to share the answer in case anyone else happens to see this on their plant and not know what's causing it. Long story short, these are actually the flowers of a male cannabis plant. If you see these flowers and were expecting to see buds, that
means something has gone seriously wrong with your grow... Learn more about male cannabis plants and what to do about these little flowers if you see them! |

"Luv, luv, luv your Sunday night articles. Such ideas and pics!!! I can almost smell all the beautiful plants." ~Susan I'm glad you like the articles, Susan. And I know what you mean about the plants. The really sticky ones make me want to touch the pictures which would be a bad idea even if it worked. 😂 ~Sirius |
"Thank you all for the great information. I don't get back with you all to much but I've learned so much and enjoy the read every Sunday. I'm in Kentucky great work." ~Jerry We hope to keep you interested and entertained for a bit every Sunday and it's good to see we're successful sometimes. Also, it's good you're learning now because it seems like Kentucky is moving towards legalization. ~Sirius "As usual your newsletter has been very informative. It never fails to teach me something new about growing or some tip that is very useful! Thanx so much for your dedication to the grow community and please keep the information coming!! Mahalo" ~Kenneth These positive vibes are great and I won't deny loving compliments. We really do appreciate you taking the time to read our newsletter and being such a cool group in general. 💚 ~Sirius

"I have a question about trichomes. But my question is about trichomes in the Veg stage. Neither the clones nor the plant it was taken from were flowering. I’ve looked it up countless times and always come up with nothing. Everywhere talks about trichomes at harvest. Or trichome life cycle and what their role is but never find anything on trichomes in the Veg stage. ~Preston It's funny
you say that because, like you, I don't really know much about vegetative stage trichomes. I was going to say that Nebula didn't either, but when I mentioned it she got surprisingly excited and said she had to write an article about them. So stay tuned as I'm sure she will include a short article about vegetative stage trichomes as part of the newsletter next week 😂 ~Sirius |
"Afghani is the strain. The mother plant did really well through flowering and even turned a little purple. She was very pretty indeed. Thank you much for the reply and any information you can find I would totally appreciate!!" ~Preston All natural water only perpetual autoflower grow. 4 gallon plastic
grow bags with Fox Farm Coco Loco, natures living soil and water. Back to my roots!" ~Coco Lopez Good to hear from you again, Coco Lopez! These pictures are a mixture of two Nebulas favorite things: cats and weed plants. It's almost like catnip for her. ~Sirius "I'm an outdoor grower, so it'll be a few months before I really get going on that. I got some of my seeds last week and that was exciting😊. I plan on starting germination and indoor vegetation on the first day of spring🐰, but until then, it's just me and my assistant getting equipment and soil ready. Good luck to all this season🌲🌲🌲." ~Jeff Hey, Jeff. I was pleasantly surprised to see that your assistant is in fact, a cat. I'm sure that your assistant will do absolutely nothing at all to assist you, but you'll still feel like you appreciate the "help". Cats are amazing negotiators. ~Sirius
How Much Did Someone Pay For This NFT? |

And how much would you have paid?
|
Even influencers get scammed! So, how much did someone pay for this picture? This is old news to some of you, but famous influencer Logan Paul paid $623,000 for this NFT. That means he paid more than the cost of the house I'm sitting in as I write this in San Diego, CA; a city with notoriously high property costs. Now here's the reason this article ended up in this
section of the newsletter: This NFT is now worth less than $10. That would be like if I traded my house for roughly 80% of a burrito. This type of scam can be avoided by remembering if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They
let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).
