1. Light : Make sure your plants get enough light β at least 18 hours in the vegetative phase and 12 hours in the flowering phase (for photoperiod strains). Strong, full spectrum light promotes growth.
2. Nutrients : Use a high-quality nutrient solution tailored to the growth phase of your plants. F1 hybrids require a well-balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
3. Water : Water regularly without flooding the roots and ensure the water has the correct pH (between 6.0 and 7.0). The correct pH greatly improves nutrient absorption.
4. Temperature and humidity : Keep the temperature between 20-25Β°C and the humidity at 60-70% during the growth phase and about 40-50% during the flowering phase.
5. Training : Methods such as low stress training (LST) and topping promote even light distribution and strengthen growth. These techniques maximize the number of flowering sites and therefore the overall yield.
By combining these factors correctly, you can unlock the full potential of your F1 hybrid seeds and achieve higher yields with the best quality.
