Grow Room AI Technology: What’s Working, What’s Next, and How to Build Your Stack
AI inspects canopy images to flag pests, disease, stress, or uneven growth so you can act early. Cannabis facilities report labor savings and more consistent decisions after adopting vision systems to scan microclimates and highlight priority zones.
Grow Diagnostics and Plant Health Testing for Cannabis
Unlock the full potential of your cannabis cultivation with Grow Diagnostics from Arvum. This in-depth guide explores how plant tissue and media testing provide actionable insights into nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, and lockout risks. Learn how to interpret lab data, adjust feeding protocols, and implement crop steering techniques to boost yields and improve plant health. Ideal for commercial growers seeking to fine-tune every input, this article combines science-backed methodology with practical agronomy to help you grow smarter, not harder.
Organic Hydroponics: How To Grow Soilless Plants Organically
One of the most hotly contested debates in agriculture has been that of organic hydroponics. Is it truly possible to cultivate soilless plants organically? You may be thinking, of course it is – I can just feed my hydro plants an organic nutrient solution, right? In the past, this wasn’t really possible because organic nutes were thick, and clogged systems.
How To Foliar Spray: Feed & Protect Plants At The Leaves!
Foliar spray is exactly what it sounds like – you’re simply spraying something onto the foliage of your plants. In other words, you’re spraying the leaves.
Just as humans have pores in their skin, plants have pores in their foliage. This means they can actually uptake nutrients through their leaves!
While most of your feedings should occur at the roots, you can actually foliar feed your plants in the event of a nutrient lockout issue in the soil. If your plants become root bound, for example, this will be a band aid solution.
12/12 From Seed – Quicker Harvests With Smaller Plants
We’re going to discuss what exactly this method is, and why you should consider trying it.
Then, we’ll cover things you need to know such as average 12-12 from seed yield, how long the average harvest will take, whether this works with autoflowering varieties, and more.
We have a lot to cover, so let’s dive right in!
High Stress Training (HST): Complete Guide to Every Technique
Referred to as HST for short, this is a form of plant training which tends to induce higher levels of stress. This means your plant will take longer to rebound from these methods.
However, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You may see some slow, stunted growth immediately following a training session, but this will be followed by explosive growth, terpene and flavonoid development, and more.
Low Stress Training: Step By Step LST Guide
Low stress training, also known as LST for short, is a gardening technique in which you physically manipulate your plants to dictate which direction they grow – either vertically or horizontally.
In most cases, growers implement LST on their plants to grow wider, rather than taller. This is particularly the case indoors, where head height is limited.
Root Pruning: How and When to Do It Right
Root pruning trims excess root growth to correct root binding, restore nutrient uptake, and keep hydroponic systems flowing. Learn when pruning is actually necessary, how much root mass you can safely remove at each stage in hydro, soil, and coco, and how air pruning containers prevent binding before it starts.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) – Definition, Methods, & More
The first thing you are probably wondering is what does integrated pest management mean? To put it simply, IPM is a holistic, long-term approach to pest prevention and control.
This requires you to be proactive, crop after crop, cultivating an ecosystem that prevents or controls pests.
The kicker, though, is you do this all while minimizing your impact on the environment and those who consume your harvest
Monster Cropping: Achieve More Harvests By Revegging
When you first hear of the training technique known as monster cropping, it may sound really strange. It involves a weird process known as revegging, and requires you to be strategic with your grow room space. But this technique has grown in popularity over the years, and for good reason. It’s a bit different than […]
Sea Of Green Method: Growing Small Plants For Huge Yields
Learn the Sea of Green (SOG) method to maximize yield in tight spaces: pack uniform plants, flip to flower early, and streamline cycles. Get tips on spacing, clones vs. seeds, lighting, airflow, and mistakes to avoid for fast, consistent harvests.
Pruning To Increase Yield
Pruning not only increases yield, but it’s also actually an essential garden care task in most cases. If you don’t do anything to control growth, you’ll undoubtedly end up with uneven growth. One cola will likely dominate, leaving you with small popcorn buds throughout the rest of the plant.
