How To Grow Huge Marijuana Buds?

When growing marijuana, cultivators strive for the plumpest, juiciest, and most
potent buds. Most people would be left scratching their heads if asked to detail the
necessary processes in order to achieve that supreme yield. A cannabis cultivator
needs more patient to grow.

What are marijuana buds

For starters, a bud is the growth that pops up during a plant’s flowering phase[1].
Although marijuana plants ’ leaves also have a THC content, the buds have a far
more concentrated amount. This is why the buds are the prize possession of any
marijuana grower – they are the part of the plant that gets you high. While both
male and female buds contain plenty of THC, there are some important differences
that distinguish the two.

5 Ways to Grow Huge Marijuana Buds

If you are a cannabis grower, you know the underlying goal is to grow the biggest and
healthiest buds possible in your garden. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to
improve the size of your buds.

Pruning
Cannabis buds will form at most of the plant ’ s nodes. A node is where a leaf or
branch grows off the stalk. The larger the plant grows, the more nodes will appear,
which means your plant will have more locations where buds can grow.

Intuitively, you might think that more nodes means more and larger buds, but this is
far from the truth. Nodes with buds that are lower down on the plant away from the
canopy will try to develop in flowering but will never become fully developed
because they do not receive adequate light.

If you want to improve the yield of your plant, the best method is to prune away any
plant life that isn’t receiving quality light. Trim away the buds and foliage that are
under the canopy to “lollipop” your plant. This strategy will send all the energy into
the canopy where the buds are receiving the most light, thus giving you bigger,
denser nugs.

Enrich the Grow Medium

It ’ s important to provide the seeds with an excellent grow medium that is full of
nutrients. But apart from giving the best minerals, we must also ensure the correct
pH and EC values of the medium. This way, we promote healthy growth and
development of the roots, so they can fully absorb the nutrients.

Add Nutrients
One of the surest ways to get fat and juicy marijuana buds is to spoil them with
fertilizers. Once they start to bloom, they will crave phosphorous. So, make sure to
add a mixture of 10% nitrogen, 30% phosphorous, and 10% potassium (NPK 10-30-10)
during the flowering phase.
If we want the biggest buds possible, boost with an extra dose of potassium at the
end of the flowering cycle. For the best result, try the special formula from the
Flower Power system which nourishes up to 20 plants.

Maintain the Perfect pH and EC

When giving fertilizers, it ’ s important to also check the pH and EC levels of the
medium. Otherwise, the plants would experience some serious nutrient problems.
Hence, we must learn about the following factors.

How much light

One of the most surefire ways of increasing your bud growth is by increasing the
intensity of the light that is hitting your plants. If the light is not intense enough, your
plants will have stretched themselves upwards during their vegetative state,
becoming tall and skinny rather than short and bushy. This is not ideal for a decent
harvest.

This is, of course, only possible to change effectively when you have an indoor grow
room. If you are an indoor grower, it is a simple matter of moving the lights closer to
your plants. If your plant has already grown uneven colas because of poor lighting
during its vegetative state, it will be difficult to evenly and effectively distribute the
light. The buds themselves should have direct exposure to the light for best results.

Temperature and Humidity

The key to temperature and humidity control is to frequently monitor your plants
and make sure the room temperature and humidity levels are consistent and within
the healthy range for your strain of marijuana. This is important not only during the
flowering phase but also during the phases leading up to the flowering phase. Make
sure that the temperature and humidity are adjusted accordingly for each stage of
growth. These are the best humidity levels to grow huge buds for each of the stages
of growth:

Veg week 1 = 70%

Veg week 2= 70%

Flowering week 1= 65%

Flowering week 2= 60%

Flowering week 3= 55%

Flowering week 4= 50%

Flowering week 5= 50%

Flowering week 6= 45%

Flowering week 7= 45%

Flowering week 8= 40%

Flowering week 9= 40%

Marijuana Fertilizer
Marijuana fertilizer is critical for your plants to reach peak performance! Like carbon
dioxide, the nutrients in the soil allow the plant to grow much bigger, thicker, and
faster than if simply left to their own devices. Read this article called the “Best and
Most Popular marijuana fertilizers” to learn all you need to know about nutrients.
Marijuana plants require more phosphorus during their flowering phase than in their
vegetative phase, so when the flowering phase begins, you should start a new
nutrient regimen as we.

If you want your buds to be fat and juicy, you are going to have to spoil them a bit.
Take special care of them during the flowering phase of the plant’s life cycle.

What buds crave most of all is phosphorous, so try a mixture of 10% nitrogen, 30%
phosphorous, and 10% potassium (commonly referred to as NPK 10-30-10) to curb
those cravings. At the end your buds can use a boost of extra potassium.

In conclusion
Growing bigger buds is a lifelong ambition for most gardeners. However, bigger buds
won’t happen overnight. Gardening is a skill that takes time to refine since you can’
t speed up a plant’s growth process. One of the best things you can do is to write
down what you’re doing to your grows every day; that way, if you have a successful
harvest, you can revisit what you might have done differently in your garden and
replicate it with future grows.
