Become a pro home grower with the tools we use to grow. Here’s a rundown of the essentials:

1. Premium Seeds/Genetics: Start with high-quality seeds. At HIGHGRADE.CH we offer a wide selection of premium seeds and genetics to kick off your grow.

2. Regenerative Nutrients-Organics Alive: Our organic and regenerative nutrients from Organics Alive are perfect for cultivating the world’s best cannabis. They work great in any medium from living soil, to rockwool, or coco. Our products which include Dry Soluble Powders and Liquids are free from salts, heavy metals, and animal byproducts. They help your plants absorb nutrients passively leading to robust growth and rich cannabinoid profiles. Being fully water-soluble they can be watered into soil or sprayed onto foliage for rapid absorption.

3. Advanced Lighting Solutions with ThinkGrow Lights: 

Good lighting is key to cannabis growth. ThinkGrow offers top-quality horticulture LEDs using only the best components. Their full-spectrum LEDs powered by SAMSUNG include green, red, and blue light ensuring excellent photosynthesis, disease prevention, and production of bioactive compounds. Green light  can penetrate deeper into the plant canopy, reaching lower branches and influencing flowering.

4. Precise Environmental Controls: Hydro-X Environmental Control Systems: 

Keeping the right temperature, humidity, and airflow is crucial. The Hydro-X series by TrolMaster is a professional-grade modular control system for managing various growing conditions. These controllers work with most horticultural lighting systems and are compatible with HVAC systems, AC units, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, CO2 systems, fans, timers, and more. You can program them based on sensor data to create the best environment for your plants. The the Hydro-X is the base model and the Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus models offer advanced features for those needing extra control. With TrolMaster on your side you can get real time updates from your grow and manage it from anywhere in the world.

5. Efficient Ventilation: 

Good air circulation is essential for a healthy grow room. The Aero-Fan 6V-Inline Duct Ventilation Fan is compact and efficient designed to improve air circulation and remove stale air and humidity. It's easy to install in various duct systems and ideal for grow rooms. This fan features a 6" duct, automatic voltage sensing (100-277VAC) and works great with TrolMaster controllers for precise control.

Step-by-Step Guide to Growing Cannabis:

1. Choose Your Seeds: Start with high-quality seeds from our extensive collection. Consider the strain's characteristics like flowering time, yield, and cannabinoid profile to match your preferences.

2. Prepare Your Growing Space: Set up a dedicated space with proper ventilation, lighting, and temperature control. A grow tent or a designated room works well.

3. Germination: Soak your seeds in water for 24 hours. Then plant them in soil or a growing medium. 

4. Vegetative Stage: Provide 18 hours of light daily. Ensure your plants receive the right nutrients and monitor environmental conditions closely. Apply Organics Alive V-N and V-TR with VS-Grow, VS- Cal 15, and VS-Micro 7 to grow substrate and with foliar application (spraying on leaves) expedite the vegetative stage and build strong plants. You can also introduce beneficial insects such as predatory mites and nematodes to your grow to mitigate any pest issues. It's important that you provide plants with structure support by trellising or staking plants. Also during this stage you should top your plants to train future bud development (please message us if you need any advice). Try to maintain RH of 65% to 70% and temperatures between 24º C to 29º C. 

5. Flowering Stage: Switch to a 12-hour light cycle to induce flowering after 2-4 weeks depending on how tall you want your plants to get. This stage requires specific nutrient formulations to support bud development. Use Organics Alive V-PK and V-K with VS-Bloom along with VS-Cal 15 and V-Micro 7 to push bud development. The Sulphur in VS-Bloom will help build complex flavor and terpenes. It's important that you maintain day (lights on)  and night time (lights off) humidity at no higher than 65% ideally around 60% or slightly under. Day temperatures should be ideally held at 24º C to 28º C depending on your growing medium. It's best to check temperature using both temperature controller sensors and by measuring leaf surface temperature using an IR laser thermometer. Also during the flowering stage make sure you avoid exposing your plants to any sources of light during night time to avoid hermaphrodite male flowers forming on your female plants. Even small light leaks into your tent or invisible IR light from security cameras can cause male flowers to form. 

6. Harvesting: Once flowers mature at 9+ weeks cut plants at the bottom of the stalk and hang whole in a controlled environment to preserve potency and flavor. Avoid trimming until after plants are dry, only trimming very large “water” leaves prior to hanging. We recommend drying for 14 to 21 days while maintaining good air circulation and a temperature of 15.5º C  to 18.5º C with a relative humidity RH of 60 to 65% if possible.
