Marijuana growers go to extraordinary lengths to obtain perfect buds with high terpene content, the right taste and the right looks. There are several factors that influence the product. One is control of humidity. During the vegetative stage the plant needs high humidity but as it matures, humidity needs to be reduced. Applying some stress to the plant increase terpene production resulting in buds that taste great. Temperature is also a key influence in growth, maturation and budding process. Night and day temperatures must be managed at the comfort level of around 80 degrees. Plants also need ventilation and since most growers cultivate marijuana indoors, this is also a critical factor. Some growers resort to additional carbon dioxide coupled with high intensity levels of light to promote extra growth and get more yield. Soil is also a key to healthy foliage and budding. Growing methods such as hydroponics, aeroponics or potted plant or bed plant cultivation is another influence on the final yield and quality.

Friday, 27 March 2015 7:29:32 PM Pacific/Auckland
Hydroponics is a means of growing plants in nutrient water without the use of soil. Instead of soil a non-reacting medium is used such as perlite, gravel, or the husk of coconuts. It was known as early as the 18 century that plants absorb their minerals in water as ions. The soil in traditional growing acts as a nutrient reservoir but does not actually contribute to plants growth. Water dissolves the minerals in the plants soil enabling the plants to use them. In hydroponics the minerals required for plants growth are artificially dissolved in the water making soil unnecessary. It is possible to grow almost any soil based plant using hydroponics. Hydroponics is such a promising field that there is much research into different methods in the academic community.

Thus, if the light condition is not proper then invertebrates and corals are not able to receive the sufficient light from the aquarium lights and then it becomes difficult for the aquatic plants and corals to survive. Therefore selecting the right aquarium and fish tank light is essential to prolong the life of coral, fish, and aquatic plants.

Marijuana has been cultivated for centuries by cultures throughout the world. Some cultures use marijuana in religious ceremonies, others use it to relieve to medical ailments, and some use it for recreational purposes. The first indoor marijuana grow relied on High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) grow lights as a sunlight replacement for plants indoors. These forms of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights produce a full-spectrum white light, the final color of which is determined by the gasses and elements within the bulb. While these full-spectrum HID lights have worked well to grow marijuana for decades, the majority of light they create is unused (reflected) by plants. In fact as much as 70% of the light they create is never processed during photosynthesis, meaning the majority of the power they consume is simply wasted energy.
