Are you thinking of growing your own pot from scratch? We’ve got you covered!
The real secret lies in growing weed that’s rich in good smelling and best-tasting terpenes.
If done right, your homegrown marijuana can taste better than the dealer’s stash. Here are some factors that can affect the quality, aroma, and taste of your hash plants.
Consider soil quality
While you can always use a hydroponic setup for growing your weed, nothing beats a quality soil setup!
A rich and good quality soil can supplement your grass with all the necessary nutrients and minerals vital to the plant’s growth. Moreover, better soil nutrient profiles intensify terpene production in your grass.
You can consider investing in a concentrated plant nutrient that’ll boost your plant growth and amp up your terpene profile. However, keep a close watch on the soil pH, and ensure that it stays between pH 5.5 and 6.5.
Monitor your light exposure
Light makes your terpenes shine bright!
It’s crucial that you provide ample space and sunlight to your hash plants. However, if you’re growing them indoors, invest in a light source with a suitable light spectrum. Exposing your indoor field to UV-B rays during the flowering phase results in juicier and tastier buds.
Moreover, maintaining humidity levels between 50-60 percent can slightly stress your plants and enhance terpene production.
Consider Low-Stress Training
When it comes to growing smellier buds, a little stress can actually improve terpene levels in your plants.
A technique called ‘low-stress training’ works by tying the branches down, exposing the buds to more sunlight, and stressing the trichomes. These trichomes will produce more terpenes and give you those strong-smelling and best-tasting marijuana crops!
Harvest at the right time
Harvesting your produce at the right time can make a world of difference in its terpene levels. Harvest too soon, and you’ll have fewer trichrome and even less terpene. Harvest too late, and your trichrome would have fizzled out!
Inspect your trichomes closely and observe if they have gone from being opaque to amber in color. Once they have turned amber, it’s time to harvest your crop!
Being gentle is key.
When you go in to harvest your grass, it’s crucial that you avoid moving and handling it too much. The trichomes hold all the terpene deliciousness, and too much movement and rough handling can destroy the good buds.
Try to hold these trichomes gently or use the stem to pick up your plant. This will ensure that your trichomes last long and contain the right levels of terpenes.
