Cultivation by the Pound Flashcards
LANDRACE STRAINS
- A Pure Strain of Marijuana
- Indigenous to Afghanistan and Pakistan
- Developed in its Natural Environment
- Inbred Through Many Generations
- Never Crossed w/ Other Varieties
- Very Stable, Virtually No Variations Between Plants
COLAS
-Buds/Flowers Forming Branches on Top of the Plant
WATTAGE
- Amount of Power Consumed by a Bulb Per Hour
- Amount of Watts Not as Important as Lumens Because Different Types of Lights Produce Varied Amounts of Lumens Per Watt
LUMENS
- A Raw Measure of Light Output
- Lumens More Important than Watts Because Different Types of Lights Produce Varied Amount of Lumens Per Watt
- 3000 Lumens/Sq. Foot is the Minimum Required to Grow Average Sized Plants
- Ideally 7000 to 10,000/Sq. Foot
KELVIN
-Color Temperature- 2700k (Indoor Soft White Light) to 5600k (Indoor Bright White Light Luke a Fluorescent Bulb)
PAR
- Photosynthetically Active Radiation
- Measuring the Total Amount of Energy Emitted Per Second
CFL
-Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
MH
- Metal Halide
- Cool, Blue Light
- Very Efficient
- Available in Various Sizes
- Proven Method for Years
HPS
- High Pressure Sodium Bulbs
- Red, Warm Light
LED
- Light Emitting Diodes Bulbs
- Can Be Used Throughout Growth Cycle
- Ver Efficient
INDUCTION LIGHTS
- Gasses Stimulated by Magnetic Induction Field
- No Wires or Contacts to Bulb
- No Venting or Fans Required
- Light Spectrum Designed Specifically for Plant Growth
- Strong Blue and Red Output
DWC
-“Deep Water Culture” Growing Systems
EBB AND FLOW
- Hydroponic Growing System
- Soaking Roots in a Nutrient Solution then Draining and Continuously Repeating Process
- Inert Medium like Coco Coir or Rockwool
- Growing Mediums Pea Gravel or Sand
NFT
- Nutrient Film Technique
- Hydroponic Growing System
- Roots Hang in Shallow, Slow Moving Film of Nutrient Solution
- Roots Grow into Solution Forming Large Root Mat
- Can Also Use Clay Pellets in Pot e/ Small Holes in Bottom
AEROPONICS
- Growing System
- Roots Secured to Platform w/ Collar (Neoprene Foam Rubber) Affixed to Plant Stem
- Roots Hang in Airy, Roomy Chamber
- Spray Nozzles Mist Roots w/ Nutrients, H2O
SOG
- “Sea of Green”
- Forcing into Flowering Stage After 2 Weeks Vegetative Stage
- Produces Single Top Cola
SCROG
- “Screen of Green” Growing Method
- SOG w/ Screen (Nylon or Chicken Wire) to Maximize Light Exposure
- Screens Hold Back Canopy Top
- Produces Multiple Top Colas
DEFOLIATION
-Removing Fan Leaves to Increase Energy on Bud Sites
FIM TECHNIQUE OR FIMMING
- Cutting 80% of Newer Growth
- Promotes Side Branching
TOPPING
- Removing Primary Growing Shoot
- Then Plant Redirects Energy to Two Closest Shoots that Become Primary
LOW STRESS TRAINING OR LST
- Slowly Bending Stems Downward to Change Shape
- Better Light Contact w/ Bud Sites
- Stems Will Grow Vertically Again
SUPER CROPPING
- High Stress Training (HST) Growing Technique
- Injuring Plant in Hopes of Making it Stronger(?!)
- Natural Protection Response to Injury in Wild
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS)
-Measures Nutrient Concentration of Hydroponic Solution in PPM
STOMATA
-Small Pores on Cannabis Leaves
