Can you plant other plants with cannabis?

All of them make ideal companion plants because they are nitrogen fixers. The deep roots bring up nutrients to the surface, allowing other garden plants to benefit.

How long should I veg for best yield?

I usually recommend a week of veg time for every gallon of growing medium (ie: a plant grown in a 5-gallon bucket should get about a 5 week veg). Most people veg their plants anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months but there are Sea of Green growers who hardly veg at all and large plant experts that go longer.

Do grow lights need to be in a tent?

Our biggest reason for using a grow tent is, however, because of its reflective surface.

Giving your cannabis plants more hours of light each day in the flowering stage will encourage faster growth.

What happens to cannabis when the lights are turned off?

When the lights are turned off and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant can absorb new CO 2 into its cells. Cannabis is a short-day plant, meaning it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed.
