How to Grow Lava Cake Cannabis Seeds or Cuttings

Growing weed from Lava Cake cannabis seeds or cuttings will require you to have a medium level of growing experience. The good thing about growing weed indoors is you can do it at any time of the year. First, you need to find a space to dedicate to your grow. Choose a room with a window for ventilation. You can use a grow tent if you want extra control over your plants and you can place reflective lining inside of the tent to concentrate the light on the plants to improve your THC content and yield. In many US states, you can grow six plants. Be sure to check your local laws. Today, we will talk about how to germinate your seeds.

How to Germinate Seeds

Seeds will germinate when exposed to water, air, and heat. You can set aside two plates and four paper towels.

Soak your paper towels in water, get them wet but not running. Put two paper towels on a plate. Put the seeds on the paper towels an inch apart then cover them with the wet paper towels.

Cover your science project with the other plate so that it’s dark in there for the seeds and not too much moisture is getting out. Leave it there for 3 to 10 days. By then, all the seeds that can germinate, will have germinated.

Now you need to get your germinated seed into some soil. Any good potting soil mix will do, but you can ask around about the best fit for your needs. You can use a one gallon flower pot. Put your favorite soil or fertilizer mix in there. Water it so that it is moist. Make a hole with a pencil that is about two seeds stacked on each other deep. Put your seed in the hole with tweezers with the little root facing down into the soil. Cover with soil. Keep the soil moist but not too wet. In a week you should either get a sprout or a dud. You will have planted many seeds and some will be duds.

After 8 to 10 weeks, your plants will be sexually differentiated. This is important because you want to remove the males so you don’t get buds full of seeds. You will see the sex organs beginning to form and you can then remove the males before they start producing pollen, causing the females to produce seeds. You can also just buy feminized seeds online at reputable seed banks.

Now you’ve got your sprouts in a pot in a room. You want to use High Intensity Discharge Lights to feed your plants the energy they need to grow. The reason it is good to use a tent set up is because you can line the tent with reflective lining so that bright light bounces back on the leaves at every angle.

You have two main types of lamps you can buy, either your white blue metal halide lamps or High Pressure Sodium bulbs with red-orange light.

Set up your fans so that one intakes air and the other expels air and keeps the air moving. You will want to also monitor the humidity levels.

As far as temperature, you want your plants to be between 75 F and 85 F when your lamps are running. When lamps are off, between 58 F and 70 F. Marijuana plants can be the size of a human and also like the same temperature ranges as humans. That’s why they are man’s favorite plant. Relative humidity will vary between 50 % and 70 % during different stages of the plant’s life cycle.

Here’s how your growing periods will break down:

Germinating will take 3 to 10 days.

The Seedling Phase will take 2 to 3 weeks

The Vegetative Stage will take 3 to 16 weeks. During this time, you will have 18 hours of light on your plants.

The Flowering Stage 8 to 11 weeks. During this time, you will have 12 hours of light and 12 of dark to induce flowering.

Indoors, you can get a yield of 16 ounces per square meter. Outside, you can get 18 ounces per plant. Harvest your bundles and store them in darkened mason jars.

Medicinal Marijuana Review

Lava Cake is 70 percent Indica and 30 percent Sativa. THC levels can be up to 18 %. This can make it a good option for the stress and pain of dealing with Hidradenitis Supprativa.

Hidradenitis Supprativa is a skin condition that causes boils in hair follicles or where skin meets skin such as in the armpits or the leg folds. The boils swell with foul smelling pus that can grow up to the size of a golf ball. It is incredibly painful to sufferers. Along with it, comes emotional problems, stress, and even relationship issues. People with the illness can become depressed or avoid social interactions.

The mainstay of treatment are antibiotics like Clindamycin. Antibiotics are used to reduce inflammation and to stave off bacterial infection once the boil pops and the skin breaks and can become infected.

Many users were once given opioid pain killers for the severe pain that comes along with this condition. But since the opioid epidemic has garnered national attention and pill mills and doctors and companies have been sued, doctors are afraid to give patients this class of drugs.

Some are turning to medical marijuana. Not only can marijuana take away some of the pain, it can also reduce some of the inflammation and promote healing. Some studies show that patients with hidradenitis may flare up in response to wheat and brewer’s yeast such as in beer. Marijuana may help reduce the potency of the inflammatory response of the body to food triggers.
