Today we present two new varieties that have entered our catalog with great success, becoming an authentic hit. We're talking about C. Banana and its autoflowering version C. Banana Auto, which thanks to their cultivation characteristics and very high THC content are presented as true star varieties for this season.
Growing auto varieties in Germany
Following the entry into force of the Cannabisgesetz in April 2024, adults in Germany can grow up to three plants for personal consumption. The article advocates autoflowering varieties as the best option due to their short cycle of 8 to 12 weeks, their photoperiod-independent flowering, and their compact size, which suit the German climate and allow one or two outdoor cycles between May and September. For cultivation, it recommends germinating directly in 7–15 litre pots, using an airy substrate, applying short wet-and-dry watering cycles, fertilising at reduced doses, and sticking to low-stress techniques such as LST, while choosing mould-resistant genetics to combat humidity during flowering.
Energy Efficiency in Cannabis Cultivation
The post analyses the environmental impact of indoor cannabis cultivation, which consumes up to 10 times more energy per square metre than an office building and generates a carbon footprint up to 50 times greater than outdoor cultivation. To reduce this impact, several measures are proposed, such as replacing HPS lamps with efficient LEDs, integrating solar energy, or moving production outdoors, which could reduce the sector's emissions by almost 80%. However, the post concludes that in Europe many growers have no choice but to cultivate indoors due to prohibition, identifying it as the main cause of this environmental problem.
How to make homemade pesticides for marijuana home growing
The article warns about the risks of chemical pesticides in cannabis cultivation and proposes homemade organic alternatives to combat pests such as aphids, spider mites, whiteflies or fungi like powdery mildew. Among the suggested recipes are neem oil with potassium soap, diatomaceous earth, garlic maceration, horsetail infusion or milk with baking soda, each one targeting specific pests. That said, the article clarifies that these remedies work best in preventive phases or mild infections, and that in cases of advanced infestations it may be necessary to resort to certified organic solutions or biological control with natural predators.
