Using products in order to fatten buds alongside flowering stimulants allows you to increase the size of your plants’ flowers incredibly, which therefore increases the amount of yield you can harvest. Thanks to the potassium and phosphorus, your plants’ buds will also grow much thicker and denser. We’re going to go through a list of some of the best nutrients and fertilizers for fattening buds, as well as how to grow bigger buds using organic products.
Tips for fattening up buds
Some of the factors to consider in these cases to achieve fatter buds are:
- Light: The ideal light hours are typically 18 hours during the growth stage and 12 hours during flowering for feminized plants. In the case of autoflowering seeds, they will need between 18 and 20 hours of light.
- Indoor: There are different lighting systems that provide a full spectrum, adjusting the light intensity to the plant’s life stages.
- Outdoor: Due to the required light hours, the best time for cultivating marijuana plants is between April and June, taking advantage of the increasing daylight hours in spring and summer.
- Substrate: Marijuana plants require well-aerated soil to ensure healthy root system growth.
- Space: Outdoors, space is usually not a problem, while indoors, you can place up to 10-12 plants under a single light source in pots of about 5-7 liters.
- Climate control: Temperature should range between 70-73ºF (21-23ºC), while humidity should be around 21-25%. Additionally, maintaining an optimal pH level between 5.5 and 6 is important, and it’s also necessary to monitor the EC.
- Use of preventive products and fertilizers: This helps prevent pests from affecting the development of the flowers.
By providing the necessary nutrients to your plants, you will achieve robust growth of the flowers. To fatten up the buds further, you can use specific products during the flowering weeks to enhance production.
When is the best stage to fatten up the buds?
The best stage to fatten up buds is at the beginning of the flowering phase of the plants. Around the fourth week, these buds start to plump up and gain weight. If you want to obtain dense and heavy buds, it is recommended to start using fattening products from the second week of flowering. The timing and quantities for applying fertilizers will depend on the chosen product and the type of seed.
