Now that growing hemp and cannabis is legal in so many areas of the world, you may be in the position where the only thing stopping you from growing cannabis is the learning curve involved. And while growing cannabis does take some know-how, there are ways to make that process easier. Here are some beginner tips to help you get started.
Some seeds are easier to grow than others. Beginner-friendly cannabis seeds are often more resistant to pests, mold, weather variations, and more. A good example of a beginner-friendly option is the Northern Lights cannabis seeds.
If you have enough space and live in an amiable climate, growing cannabis outdoors is the easiest way to do it, and it has the lowest initial costs. It’s a good way to get a handle on the basics before you decide whether or not you want to build a greenhouse or a climate-controlled room for indoor cultivation.
A big factor to consider when choosing seeds and growing methods is how much you want to produce. Different strains of cannabis give bigger or smaller yields. On top of that, while outdoor plants can grow larger and produce bigger yields, you can typically only harvest outdoor plants once a year. Indoor you get smaller plants but you can do several crop cycles a year.
Like most plants, cannabis needs the right combination of macro and micronutrients to grow strong and healthy. And different strains of cannabis have different nutritional needs. Again, choosing a beginner-friendly strain helps here, as those tend to be less fussy about what nutrients they need.
In either case, you can ensure the nutritional quality of soil by buying a home soil test kit. There are plenty of cheap ones available online.
If you’re growing the seeds indoors, maintaining the right amount of water is as simple as following a regular irrigation schedule. Outdoors, however, you will also need to account for how rain affects the process.
In both cases, you can use apps to track the water needs of your plants or invest in automated irrigation solutions that can measure the amount of humidity in the soil. The latter is cheaper than you’d think, at least for small-scale applications.
