Technical Section

Many growers worry about the cost of equipment. They worry about technical aspects of growing cannabis.  Return on investment is the key factor to calculate the efficiency of cannabis harvest. Cannabis grows well indoors and outdoors. In fact, cannabis is a strong plant: you can grow cannabis without any big investment.

What do you need to grow cannabis?

Growing cannabis requires light, water, fertilizers and warm temperature. When you buy seeds, you have to decide what kind of growing: indoors or outdoors. Outdoor growing is preferable because nature will take care of the plants. Growers need to prepare a place in the garden or orchard. The advantage of outdoor growing is that there is no height restriction. You can grow even tall varieties. For growing indoors, you need to choose medium or short variety. You can use traditional, hydroponic or aeroponic methods for indoor growing. However, aeroponic methods require expensive equipment. Only commercial professionals can invest in hydroponic systems. The hydroponic method does not require much financial investment but it requires expertise. You can assemble a simple DIY hydroponic system with your own hands when you buy parts for the system at the garden market or store.

What do you need to know to grow cannabis?

If you plant to grow outdoors or indoors, you have to choose the right variety of cannabis. You also need to choose the date for planting. The date and growing season are important for residents of the northern regions. If you live in northern regions do not choose tall varieties of cannabis. In such case, we recommend choosing auto-flowering variety.
  
You have to figure out the following details: 
- determine the place where to plant;
- select the date;
- find a variety;
- prepare a plot or containers for planting the seeds;
- care about your cannabis plants.

Create the perfect conditions

When choosing a variety, you have to take into account the amount of sunlight during summers in your region. If you are a beginner, choose some easy varieties to grow. Some varieties are very tricky and need too much care: they need certain acidity of the soil, water, and nutrients.

Light for cannabis plants

Natural sunlight or artificial light is an important factor for cannabis growing. Growing outdoors solves the problem of light because solar energy is a gift of nature. When you grow indoors you need to use artificial light. Beginners should choose auto-flowering varieties: such plants do not depend on the light cycle. They flower on time and do not depend on light.
 
Insects are a real threat for every plant because they can eat up your harvest. Think how to protect your plants before the insects attack. You have to know how to treat cannabis and how to protect cannabis plants from insects. 
 
Good air ventilation is a powerful preventive measure against infections and mold. High-quality ventilation prevents stuffy air and gets rid of humidity. You need to let your plants breathe and develop.  Read this section to learn how to build a ventilation system, what equipment (fans, timers, pipes) to use if you decide to grow indoors.

The most obvious advantage is the fact that with the outdoor cultivation you do not spend money on electric bill and expensive equipment.
