Safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic and a wave of new legalization have many people interested in growing their own cannabis from the comfort and security of their homes. There are very few activities quite like cultivating cannabis indoors, which can make the process look daunting to the beginner grower. But never fear, PotGuide is here.
The majority of the items needed for your cannabis grow can be purchased at any local gardening center (and many places even have a local hydroponics shop). So let’s discuss your options, and what equipment you can expect to use.Ad
Selecting Your Grow Space
Consider first how many plants you want to grow, and how big you’d like them to be. Account for the lights above, containers below, air circulation systems (either fans or more advanced setups), and space for you to move around all these things in your measurements. Try to avoid carpet or other areas difficult to sanitize.
Finding an adequate grow space is the first step to begin growing. photo credit
You’ll also want complete control of the lighting, so blackout any windows. Even leaks through cracked doors, seams, or shutters can disrupt your plant’s development. Airflow is another critical factor. Ideally, you’ll want a space where you can install exhaust fans, but at the very least you will need to be able to circulate the air in the grow space.
Some truly interesting information, well written and loosely user genial. Brigitta Randell Dwane
Hey there. I discovered your web site via Google whilst searching for a related matter, your website came up. It looks good. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks to come back then. Anabelle Miles Bryner
Hello. I recently purchased a clone and am having issues with discoloration in the leafs. Does this mean my light source is too hot or nutritional issues because I am not currently using any fertilizers? I am also curious to know of good fertilizers to use for best results. Any advices?
I’ve been growing for about 5 or 6 years and I just started learning how to dry correctly about a year or so ago. (Yes took me that long) The biggest thing that has helped me is keeping the temperature under 70f. Jungle Boys hang dries at 62f/62% for 16 days. I typically dry now around 65f/65% for 10-14 days and then into a rubbermaid bin for a couple days before trimming and curing.
You really need a climate controlled room/tent area IMO to get the perfect dry time. I have a dehumidifier (set at 70%) and air conditioner (set at 65f) in my dry room now.
