These are some of the most common questions asked by new growers. Ultimately, the size of your marijuana plants will depend on their genetics and the growing environment. In our cannabis plant size guide, we touch upon the different factors that can affect the size of your crop. We answer all of these questions in detail to help you understand the growth patterns of the cannabis plant.
Knowing this can help you have a successful yield time after time. As a cannabis grower, predicting the height of your plants is an important factor when setting up your garden and choosing the best practices that work for you. As you can see, the range of plant sizes is wide.
Growers have some degree of control over how tall their cannabis plants can grow. Some growers may prefer smaller plants to fit in cramped spaces , while others may seek larger plants to maximize their outdoor yield. Carefully planning your garden, from the types of seeds you buy to the cultivation methods you use, can help you grow a marijuana plant that is the perfect size for your growing environment and specific needs. One of the most important factors to consider when estimating the size of your marijuana plants is their growing environment.
Do you plan to grow indoors or outdoors? With indoor cannabis cultivation, you have the ability to control nearly every parameter of its environment including temperature, humidity, and light. When growing cannabis outdoors, growers have some control over the height of the plant, but mainly rely on the natural elements sunlight, temperature, humidity.
This includes water, sunlight, warmth and nutrients. Research the needs of your particular plant and provide these elements in the necessary amounts for optimum growth. Plants such as chrysanthemums and swamp sunflower grow taller in partially shaded areas while others such as southern blue flag require full sun to reach maximum height.
Plants grow in poor soil, undesirable locations or without adequate water all the time, but they never reach their full height under such conditions. Different plants require different amounts of nutrients, but all plants need them.
Research your plant species to determine its unique characteristics in this area. Choose fertilizer accordingly and apply regularly per instructions. Even plants already growing well show noticeable improvement with the regular use of fertilizer.
The more nutrients plants have to use, the bigger and healthier they become. Overfertilizing causes its own set of problems such as reduced tolerance to drought and insect damage, so don't overdo it.
In order to do that, they need 12 hours of light and 12 hours of total darkness a day. Q: Is special growing equipment required? Keep in mind that the ballast is going to get very hot, so you need to have adequate cooling in the room as well, like a portable air conditioner with a thermostat.
The ideal temperature is 75 to 80 degrees when the lights are on and 68 to 74 degrees when the lights are off. It should be below 50 percent to prevent bud mold or rot. You can measure humidity with a hygrometer from a hardware or grow store, and reduce it with a dehumidifier or air conditioner. Q: How would a home grower comply with the rule that limits them to three plants in flower?
The reason having only three plants is bad is that you want to keep a rotation going. Or else every time you get done harvesting, you have to go back to a store. If you want a continual supply, you want the perpetualness of having a vegetative stage and a flowering stage going all the time. You can find grow boxes at most local hydroponic stores or grow shops. A: I actually never recommend starting a marijuana plant from seed, because you have to determine whether the seeds are male or female, which is difficult.
Only female plants produce the flowers that are most desirable in terms of cannabinoid content. Male plants are pretty much unusable for smoking purposes. The best thing to do is to buy a clone — a cutting from a proven plant. People who have red cards medical-marijuana cards can buy clones from medical-marijuana centers and grow their own plants.
If you know somebody who grows, it is legal today under state law for a year-old or someone older with a marijuana plant in Colorado to give another year-old or older a clone from that plant. Ruderalis is a ditch weed found in Europe with low THC content. Indica has higher CBN a type of cannabinoid content, which relieves pain and makes you lethargic.
Sativa has the highest psychoactive content, is energizing and provides lucid thought. Most everything available today is a hybrid and carries the characteristics of both indica and sativa. Indica-dominant hybrids are good for growing indoors, because they only get 2 to 3 feet tall from the top of the pot, with a diameter of 12 to 18 inches. A: Hemp is basically a cultivated variety of sativa.
For several thousand years, it has been bred for tall growth, fibrous stems and low THC levels. A: Place the clone in a pot filled with a planting medium.
