Critical Kush—an anchor among indicas. Dense, heavy flowers, hashy-woody spice, and deep, evening “wrap-around” calm.

AK47 – a characterful classic. Peppery-pine nose, trichome “frost,” and a bright, energetic vibe that built its legend.

A growroom isn’t a spa. Air, light, chemicals, noise, CO₂, ergonomics—simple habits that keep your body and mind in shape.

Rockwool, LECA, coco, perlite, phenolic foam… Match the medium to DWC, NFT, flood & drain, or drip so it helps—not hinders.

Perlite, pumice, coco, biochar, bark, zeolite & more. What to add, which particle size, and what % so the mix “breathes” yet holds water.

A ready mother = fast rooting, uniform starters, fewer losses. Timeline, parameters, diet, hygiene, and a tools checklist.

Is adding CO₂ to an indoor grow worth it? How to monitor, optimal ppm, gear, costs, safety, and the real return on investment.

When should you start fertilizing and when should you stop? This is one of the most common questions for new growers. Learn why seedlings don’t need full feeding yet, how nutrient demand gradually increases, and when it’s best to transition to bloom formulas and finally to flushing before harvest.

EC (Electrical Conductivity) is the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution, a simple indicator of dissolved salts. Learn what EC really measures, how to properly calibrate and use an EC meter, typical ranges for vegetative and flowering stages, and how to avoid mistakes with temperature, bubbles, and hard water.

The vegetative stage and flowering are two phases with completely different nutritional needs. Learn how the plant’s demand for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients changes, and how to adjust fertilization to avoid mistakes.

Is supermarket soil good enough for growing, or should you invest in specialized mixes? A grower’s guide: pros, cons, differences in composition, and practical advice for beginners.

How to build your own hydroponic systems: NFT from gutters/pipes, DWC from buckets and totes, and passive Kratky from a container. What to buy, how to assemble, what to watch out for. Simple diagrams and garage hacks.
