As winter fades and the days start warming up, grow rooms and greenhouses go through more than just a seasonal shift. Early spring brings a narrow but important window for getting ahead of pest problems before they show up in full force. Many bugs stay dormant when it’s cold, but they don’t stay gone for long. Once they sense the rise in temperature, they’re back on the move. That’s why spring pest control starts before anything is actually buzzing, flying, or crawling. G …

Growing cannabis indoors during late winter always brings its own puzzles. The light is still short, the temperatures do not help much, and space is usually tight. But one thing we can control well is the kind of container each plant grows in. Picking the right containers matters more than it seems. They are where roots develop, where nutrients are absorbed, and they will shape how well our plants cope with low natural sunlight.

They give seedlings the kind of light they need to open up, put out roots, and develop steady leaves, even when the sky outside is gray or dark by 5 p.m. A good setup uses more than just plugging a light into the wall.
