How Light Strength Shapes Plant Health, Easy Pheno-Hunting at Home, The Truth About Drying Speeds & Root-to-Shoot Balance Explained | Grow Guides Ep. 68

In this week’s Grow Guides we’re breaking down four fundamentals every home grower should understand, whether you’re on your first tent or your fiftieth. We start with light intensity, what it actually does inside the plant, how to avoid blasting your tips to death, and how to find the sweet spot for strong, stress-free growth. From there we move into a beginner-friendly guide to pheno-hunting at home. No lab coats, no nonsense, just simple steps to spot your keepers, recognise the standouts early, and build your own personal stable over time. We also dig into the real science behind drying speeds. Everyone says “slow and steady,” but we explain why it matters, what’s actually happening inside the flower as it dries, and how to avoid the harsh, grassy results that happen when you rush it. Finally, we break down the root-to-shoot ratio, one of the most overlooked concepts in growing. Understanding this balance will help you diagnose plant issues faster, feed more intelligently, and grow stronger plants from veg to harvest. A packed episode full of knowledge that makes your next grow smoother, smarter, and a whole lot more fun.
