Growingmedicinal cannabis in green­houses is efficient and much less taxing on the environment and pocketbook than gardening indoors. Unheated or heated-and-cooled greenhouses extend seasons and protect plants from the elements. Containerized plants are mobile, raised beds warm early, or you can plant directly in the ground. Greenhouses can also be equipped with lights to extend […]

Garden rooms require a secure space, consistent environment, and a regular maintenance schedule. They also increase your carbon footprint. Climate, consistency, and security are the best reasons to garden indoors. Medical cannabis can also be started in a garden room and moved into a greenhouse or outdoors. Plants get an early start with minimal environmental […]

A bountiful harvest of consistent, disease- and pest-free medicinal cannabis is the reward for your financial invest­ment and hours of work and worry about the garden. Strong, healthy, well-grown clones and seedlings yield the heaviest harvests. A well-organized harvest will cut the workload, and a basic knowledge of what is happening in the cannabis plant […]

Cannabis must flower and produce seeds to successfully complete its annual life cycle. It is a dioecious plant, being either male (pollen producing) or female (ovule producing). However, intersex plants—mistakenly called hermaphrodite plants, with both male and female flowers—can also occur. Feminized seed that produces only female plants is also available. In nature, cannabis flowers […]

Medical cannabis can be reproduced (propagated) sexually or asexually. Seeds are the product of sexual propaga­tion; stem cuttings (aka clones*) are the result of asexual or vegetative propa­gation. In its simplest form, taking a stem cutting involves cutting a growing branch or branch tip, placing the cut end into a growing medium, and keeping it […]

The cannabis seedling growth stage lasts for approximately 2 to 3 weeks, from seed germination to (strong) root set. Once a strong root system is established, foliage growth increases rapidly and seedlings enter the vegetative growth stage. When chlorophyll pro­duction is full speed ahead, a vegetative plant will produce as much green leafy foliage and […]
