Growing Cannabis: 5 Things You Should Know!

Growing your own cannabis has become quite trendy nowadays. Even a novice gardener or someone who started using weed, is searching for ways to grow their own weed.

Whether you use weed for recreational purposes, medicinal purposes, or for something special, growing your own cannabis can be beneficial. But as they say “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilities.” The same thing applies to cannabis too.

The easier it is to use it, the harder it may get for some people to successfully grow it. If you’re one of those people who wants to grow cannabis but are not sure then you are in for a treat because as you explore this article you will understand the 5 things you should know!

Cost of Growing Cannabis

Because let’s get real, money matters. It’s not worth it to spend hundreds of dollars if you’re not sure what you’re doing and similarly it’s not wise to spend very little as good things come at reasonable prices.

We know it’s tempting to purchase seeds at strikingly low prices but these seeds are not good enough to produce quality cannabis so if you’re planning on getting the best harvest then do invest in seeds.

When you’re planning on growing your own cannabis, we urge you to plan out the expenses and match it against the amount you have kept aside for growing marijuana.

Seeds Matter!

Probably one of the most important steps in growing your own cannabis. A lot of things depend upon the seeds you select, and remember, you will harvest what you sow!

For example, if you select feminized seeds then you will get good quality weed out of the plant. But, if you get your hands on regular seeds then the plant will only produce more seeds (both regular & feminized).

We advise you to always look for authenticated breeders to ensure that you get the highest quality seeds according to your requirements. Because, everything about a plant depends upon the seeds.

Consider The Space!

Your cannabis plant will grow every week so considering the amount of space before starting your journey, of growing cannabis, is advisable.

Did you know? Different kinds(or species) of cannabis plants have different growth patterns. Some tend to grow slowly while some grow fast. Some cannabis plants acquire good heights whereas some get wider & wider.

So, the space for growing your own cannabis plant is something worth considering before you start your journey.

Select The Right Strain

Similar to seeds, it is quite important that you choose the right strain. You may not want to end up harvesting a different kind of strain than what you want to use.

Different kinds of strain require different levels of care. If you’re working 8+ hours, 6 days a week then you may not take out much time to care for your plants. So, it is very important that you select the right strain!

Keep A Check On Legalities

Though marijuana has tremendous benefits, it is still illegal in some countries. Growing marijuana illegally can land you in serious situations that may lead you to pay a hefty fine or spend time in prison.

Therefore, it is advisable that you check it with the authorities without advancing ahead with growing your cannabis.
