Among the most important techniques to learn are pre-germination methods, pruning, and Low-Stress Training or LST. Because its seeds do not come in feminized form, growers will likely lose at least 50% of potential total buds or revenue. However, by presoaking the seeds, one can increase the chances of producing a female strain.
Pruning is an essential part of growing Big White. Because of its Indica structure, it is compact and bushy which creates problems for the lower nodes as it will not get enough air and light. However, by removing large fan leaves, it creates an even canopy that also addresses certain humidity problems. Nutrient distribution is subsequently refined too.
At the same time, growers will have to ensure that the cannabis plant does not experience stress. Otherwise, it will turn into a hermaphrodite that produces substandard flowers. The Sea of Green is a LST method that works well with Indica-dominant plants like Big White. It entails placing at least four plants in a single square meter. Each usually produce hormones that encourage growth for other cannabis around it thus creating a ‘sea’ of green. This shortens the flowering period while also encouraging higher yields. It can even improve trichome production.
