As you likely know, LED stands for “light-emitting diode.” Labels like “high-powered” refer to the type of LED… Continue reading Low, Medium, And High-Powered LEDs: What’s The Difference?
Continue readingIf you have been growing for awhile, you are probably familiar with the concept of plant training. This is a process in which you physically manipulate a plant while it grows to produce more buds and a great final yield. There are two types of plant training: high stress training and low stress training. When… Continue reading Your Guide To Low Stress Plant Training
Continue readingWhen you let plants grow naturally, you do not always have as much control over your final yield. Training techniques refer to means of manipulating your plants throughout the grow cycle to create more bud sites and a bigger final yield. There are two types of training: high stress training and low stress training. Low stress… Continue reading Your Guide To High Stress Training
