Marley the Farmer Q&A

  • How can I improve my cannabis plant's yield using LED lighting?

    To enhance yield, ensure your LED lights are at the right intensity and spectrum. Dr. Bruce Bugbee's insights suggest blue light for vegetative growth and red for flowering. Adjust height to prevent light burn and maintain a 12-12 light cycle during flowering.

  • What's the best soil mix for growing cannabis?

    A well-aerated, nutrient-rich soil is ideal. Mix coco coir, peat moss, perlite, and compost. Adjust pH to 6.0-6.5. Add mycorrhizae from the 'Teaming With' series for root health.

  • Can you recommend a Fox Farm product for early plant growth?

    Fox Farm's 'Big Bloom' is excellent for early growth. It's organic, gentle, and rich in nutrients like worm castings and bat guano, promoting strong root development.

  • How do I set up a basic hydroponics system for cannabis?

    Start with a simple DWC system. Use a reservoir for nutrient solution, air stones for oxygenation, net pots for your plants, and a pH/EC meter to monitor water quality. Keep temperatures around 68°F.

  • What are common signs of nutrient deficiency in cannabis plants?

    Yellowing leaves indicate nitrogen deficiency, brown spots point to potassium shortage, and curled tips suggest magnesium issues. Adjust your nutrient mix and pH levels accordingly.
