Pruning & Bending Plants

The course on Pruning and Bending Cannabis Plants, offers a comprehensive exploration into cultivation techniques essential for optimizing plant health, quality, and yield. This training is designed to equip cultivators with the knowledge to manage the growth stages of the plant, emphasizing the flowering phase where interventions can lead to improvements in harvest outcomes.

Pruning and bending, as integral components of cultivation, are examined in detail. Pruning, the targeted removal of specific plant parts, is not about cutting away excess foliage but involves a strategic approach to enhance light exposure and air circulation within the canopy. This technique supports the development flowering sites by reallocating the plant’s energy from less productive areas to those with the highest yield potential.

Bending, another focal point of this course, is presented as a method to manipulate plant structure. This technique allows growers to influence the direction and shape of plant growth, promoting an even canopy and optimizing light penetration to all parts of the plant. The course delineates the methods and timing for bending, ensuring these practices can be applied to maintain plant health while maximizing the productive capacity of their cannabis garden.

The training explores the phases of growth, from vegetative to flowering stages, providing insights into the requirements of each phase. Participants will learn about the signs of male and female pre-flowering, how to distinguish between them, and the importance of separating plants based on sex to prevent unwanted pollination. It also covers the conditions necessary to induce flowering in both indoor and outdoor environments, adjustments needed in light, nutrients, and care to facilitate the transition from growth to flowering.

Understanding the nutritional needs of plants during the flowering stage is crucial for optimal development and potency. The training provides  strategies for nutrient application, helping cultivators avoid pitfalls such as nutrient burn or deficiency, which can adversely affect plant health and yield.

By the end of this course, participants will have mastered the techniques of pruning and bending, gained an understanding of the cannabis flowering process, and learned how to manage nutrient requirements . This knowledge allows cultivators to harvest high-quality cannabis every 6 to 10 weeks year-round, while minimizing the prevalence of male plants in their gardens.
