How Do You Grow Cannabis?

You might see people search “how long to grow cannabis.” You will also find a million “Do This, Then That” tutorials online. However, the process of growing cannabis is far more complicated than that. Growing cannabis has much more to do with the genetics of the plant, its environment, when to harvest, and being patient than just the “what” and “when.”

Core Elements Which Determine All Aspects

When someone searches for how to grow cannabis, they are generally looking for the elements that make a healthy plant and an unproductive disaster. To put it simply, there are a few main areas that need to be understood:

• Genetics: Each strain has its own unique characteristics such as how quickly it grows, the strength of its smell, how well it tolerates disease, and how enjoyable the smoking experience is.
• Environment: A plant will only perform to the best of its ability if the environment allows it to do so.
• Cleaning and handling: Many problems begin with contamination from pests and/or poor cleaning/handling practices.
• Patience: Rushing through the process is where the quality of the plant begins to deteriorate.

Why Most “Beginner Failures” Are Not About Skill

Most of the problems that beginners face are not based on lack of skill. Instead, they are typically due to a number of factors including unstable environmental conditions, varying levels of care, and unrealistic expectations.

If you’ve had a houseplant for months and killed it within a week of attempting to “help” it, you probably understand the feeling. Cannabis can be very delicate. When growers become fixated on making their plants perfect and continually adjust variables, things tend to go downhill.

Quality is Not Only “How Well Does It Grow”…But Also “How Good Does It Finish”

If your primary interest is in exploring different flavors, effects, and strain characteristics…but don’t want to create a science experiment around it, it would likely be easier to look for a product that fits what you are searching for: Mood, Taste, and Intensity.
