How to Manage Crop Fertility With Horticultural Practices By intlcannabiscorp.com


INTRODUCTION: Marijuana is now legal in many countries. Due to this, many countries are now entering an age of large scale and commercial production. Now the most skilled and legacy growers are continuously discovering that it can be very difficult and pricey to scale old production methods to commercial levels. With the help of traditional horticulture methods, the growers of cannabis are able to learn about the tools and practices that are able to increase the precision, decrease the cannabis production costs and also improve the operational efficiencies.


If you want to grow high-quality crops then vegetable and ornamental growers can help you in this. You can make the best use of automation and efficient use of consumables. The primary consumables include nutrients, crop protection products and containers. Out of all these, nutrients can offer the cost reduction potential for large scale, commercial cannabis producers.


Injection Systems: For good marijuana production, nutrient delivery is very important. There are many ways to how growers prepare nutrient solutions. They are often in volumes of 55 to many hundred gallons per batch. There are many types of injections systems available. These injection systems include water- driven and electrical systems. There are many lower ration injectors like 1: 100 which are typically used to deliver fertilizers from infrequent prepared and stock tanks which are longlasting.


CONTINUED... On the other hand, there are higher ratio injectors which are in the ratio of 1:750 (5ml/gal), and can be used to inject from the packaged products directly. Crop supplements and sanitizers are directly injected at higher ratios.

Injectors can be used to reduce measuring errors and labor costs. Measuring step is eliminated in case of direct injecting.


DRIP IRRIGATION: You can reduce the labor with the help of a drip irrigation system. This system automates the crop irrigation and reduces overall water use. Irrigation lines run to each pot and terminate with rate specific drippers. If your drip irrigation system is properly regulated with pressure compensated drippers then it will deliver the same amount of nutrient solution to each pot on the line.

A drip system is quite inexpensive and will cost you around $1.50 to $2.50 per pot and it can serve the facility for five to ten years.


There are several other methods also by which you can get a good yield. By adopting a few good practices from commercial horticulture, cannabis growers can get tremendous gains in their nutrient programs.
