How to Grow Huge Cannabis Cola?
Does a bigger cannabis harvest mean larger blooms or denser buds? Why choose? When you have high-quality you can have both. Ready to supersize your cannabis colas? Read on.
What are cannabis cola?
For anyone totally new to growing we have to let you know it’s not a soft drink. The cola is the flowering top of the female cannabis plant. Also called buds, nugs, or flowers, colas contain the highest concentration of trichomes, which produce THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids and terpenes. In other words? It’s the part of the plant we harvest, process, and use to ease our minds, bodies, and spirits. The more you have, the more useable weed you have, so you want as many as possible, as big as possible, and as thick as possible!
So how do you get bigger cannabis cola?
There are a few factors.
Strain Choice
Naturally, some strains grow thicker than others. Sour Diesel and Amnesia Haze spring to mind. So selecting your clones and seeds for bushier breeds is step one, but it’s the only one with factors you can’t control yourself! The rest of these steps are all you!
Targeted Lighting
Outdoor growers, look away–the sun is already doing its level best. Indoor-warriors? Let’s talk.
White light = wasted photons. Point blank. Cannabis needs a targeted spectrum to grow to its best abilities, and flipping a grow light from a veg spectrum to a flower spectrum is just as important as adjusting the lighting schedule. The best blooms mean bigger, tighter, and bonus–higher in trichome concentration, so give them their best start with a better breed of grow light.
Proper feeding
This is where we come in. Just like any other living thing, cannabis needs the right combination of macronutrients and micronutrients to thrive, and we provide the right ones at a concentrated rate. No watering down means no paying for what already comes out of your tap.
The only catch? Too much fertilizer can burn your plants and prevent them from taking up the nutrients they need. Make sure to follow the nutrient instructions, or just give our NorCal team a call for an assist (or just to say hi).
Grow Training
Your cannabis can’t sit up and bark, but you can get your girls to grow in more productive ways with a little help.
Try training your plants with techniques like topping, bending, and trellising. These techniques let your plant grow horizontally, which increases the amount of light getting to each leaf, which in turn, lets your plant eat even more, and use that energy to feed you back. Bonus, this also increases number of flowering sites and ultimately leads to a bigger quantity of buds!
Follow these tips and you’ll be on your way to growing crazy huge colas in no time. Happy growing!
