Now that marijuana is legal in California, you can get it at any Vacaville cannabis dispensary. However, most people prefer weed delivery, and now that you can grow your own at home, more and more people are trying it themselves, all with varying degrees of success. Growing weed is not easy, and growing enough to supply yourself is even more of a challenge. So much can go wrong at any time.
However, it is possible to grow perfect buds if you follow a few basic steps. It will help even more if you spend some time doing your own research, perfecting your own techniques, and enlisting the advice of a more experienced friend for times when questions arise, as they will. Having said that, if you control the environment properly and remember these steps, you should not face too many problems:
Give It Water
Marijuana needs water to grow. All plants do. Whether you are using an aquaponics, hydroponic, or soil setup, water is an integral part of it. In arid areas, such as California, plants require more water, but according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, their need is much lower and more sustainable than many other crops. However, overwatering can be harmful, so only water when the topsoil feels dry.
Give It Food
Cannabis plants breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, but they also need food. Nutrients, particularly nitrogen during the vegetative phase, phosphorus and potassium during flowering, are essential for big buds. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, plants need other nutrients and minerals too, and deficiencies in any of them can sicken your crop.
Give It Space
Sufficient space is essential to getting perfect buds. The more space cannabis plants have to grow, the bigger they will get. This applies to height, width, and the root system, whether you are growing inside or outside, in pots or not. According to the University of Florida, root restriction stops shoots from forming, effectively putting all growth on hold, so make sure your pots are never too small.
Give It Light
Light is the primary source of growth for plants. Cannabis plants need plenty of it and not just any old light, but according to ResearchGate, the right spectrum of red, blue, and white. They also require a light cycle. Plants grow with more hours of light and flower with less. During the growth, or vegetative, phase, give them at least 12 hours, preferably more. When flowering, decrease it to 12 hours or less.
Give It Air
Marijuana plants thrive in humid conditions, not so that fungi and bacteria do too, but they do grow best with some humidity. Despite this, the air is crucial, not only for plants to breathe, but also to prevent mold and other damp-related issues from developing. According to the National Collaborating Center for Environmental Health, you need airflow too, especially if growing indoors. These plants are pungent.
Give It Warmth
Cannabis is a very diverse plant, with an abundance of different varieties grown in most regions of the world. Some strains are more suited to hot climates, others to the cold. However, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, if you can maintain a temperature above 22 degrees Celsius and below 30 degrees Celsius, your plants will perform at their best. Too hot or too cold can kill them.
Give It Love
Lastly, give your plants a little love. Although no concrete scientific evidence exists to prove conclusively the benefits of nurturing them, many swear by it and those that care for their plants do tend to have the greenest fingers of all, with buds to brag about. At the risk of looking insane to friends and loved ones, try treating your plants as you would any other living being that you would talk to and touch.
Vacaville Cannabis Delivery
Despite the popularity of self-cultivation in Vacaville, more people are relying on Vacaville cannabis delivery than ever before. If you follow these simple steps, then you will have your own perfect buds and will not have to, but just keep the number of your favorite delivery service nearby in case something goes wrong. Growing weed is not overly difficult, but it requires dedication, commitment, time, and money.
