Planting your own cannabis seeds can be an exciting journey but requires lots of equipment and electricity which can quickly add up. Plus, growing cannabis may pose risks like theft or nosy neighbors!

Space

Many people nowadays are turning to closets, tents, cabinets, or spare rooms in their homes for growing marijuana. This approach provides several advantages (as seen here: https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-grow-marijuana-inexpensively-in-the-closet-of-an-extra-bedroom) it makes it easy to grow several plants at the same time with plenty of natural light that can be controlled as necessary while offering privacy from judgmental neighbors or thieves.

Location for weed gardens should be selected based on whether they provide adequate control of the environment and can keep their plants healthy. This requires having access to an area that maintains temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees when lighting is on and between 58 and 70 when off, with good air circulation to help regulate humidity levels; otherwise, your environment could compromise their development, or the quality of buds produced.

If the space cannot be controlled, ventilation equipment like fans and/or air conditioners may help increase circulation and regulate temperature. Carbon filters will filter odor while deodorizers remove moisture from the air.

Light

Lighting is of utmost importance when cultivating cannabis indoors, as insufficient lighting leads to poor plant development and reduced potency. When selecting your grow light, choose something specifically tailored to cannabis breeding such as HPS (high-pressure sodium) or LED (light emitting diode).

It is generally recommended to grow lights featuring an abundance of blue wavelengths as this helps produce more cannabinoids than other spectrums. Furthermore, quality grow lights should emit an ample number of infrared wavelengths which aid with photosynthesis processes in plants.

Attentiveness to the temperature and humidity of your grow space is also critical. While fans and dehumidifiers can help, ideal temperatures for cultivating marijuana should range between 68-85 degrees Fahrenheit when lights are on - ideal humidity should also remain around 50% or below.

Water

Supplying cannabis plants with water is essential to their development and survival, otherwise they would die. Climate and soil type play an integral part in determining their water needs.

According to this link, filtered or bottled water should be used when growing marijuana, as this will contain less contaminants than tap water and help protect the health and performance of your plants. However, tap water may still be acceptable provided it has not been chlorinated or treated with other chemicals; to make sure chlorine and other impurities have had time to dissipate, let it set for 24 hours first before using.

Water's pH level also plays a key role in how plants absorb nutrients, with even minor variations disrupting absorption processes and leading to "nutrient lockout", leading to deficiencies and possible deficiencies in growth.

Nutrients

Growing cannabis requires the appropriate nutrients to achieve healthy plants and high yields. Cannabis needs an abundance of macro- and micronutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium). While organic nutrients work great outdoors for outdoor cultivation, synthetic solutions tend to be superior when grown indoors - these contain chemically synthesized mineral salts while organic ones come from animal or vegetable waste products.

Nitrogen is essential to vegetative growth and assists your plant in producing chlorophyll, which converts sunlight to energy and drives photosynthesis (source: https://globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1/current/lectures/kling/energyflow/PSN_primer.html). Furthermore, nitrogen promotes lush green foliage and enhances its ability to use other nutrients effectively. In turn, Phosphorus supports root development while playing an essential part in DNA and RNA production while Potassium aids flowering and terpene production.

Those new to cannabis cultivation should begin by investing in a comprehensive nutrient system that offers all necessary vitamins and minerals in one convenient package, to prevent over-fertilizing or giving too much of one or more specific nutrients to your plants. Be sure to follow manufacturer recommendations regarding dosage and feeding schedules - too much or too little of certain nutrients could result in problems!

Temperature

Cannabis plants can be hardy plants that thrive under various temperature conditions. But to grow the best weed possible, details like ambient temperature and water temperature really count when cultivating your crop.

The ideal temperature for cannabis plants depends on their stage in development as well as whether you are cultivating indoors or out. Clones and weed seeds require warm, humid environments to root quickly; an electric heat mat or propagator is an effective means of providing constant heat until they root fully. When grown indoors for vegetative phase purposes, temperatures between 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit work perfectly, providing an easy learning curve for beginners who wish to plant cannabis indoors or out.

Once plants enter the flowering phase, they can tolerate more temperature variation; however, it is still essential that temperatures do not go beyond 82 degrees to prevent terpene loss and ensure maximum display of specific strain phenotypes, colors, and unique terpenes. Experienced growers may lower the temperature by 10 degrees during nighttime to display certain strain's unique phenotypes such as colors or unique terpenes.
