CheckoutNot all growers have the opportunity to grow plants in full-fledged, spacious greenhouses. Garages, balconies, roofs, attics, any other premises that can be adapted to small green spaces are quite suitable for capture. But in such places, the temperature, especially in the autumn-winter period, can drop to critical values, provoking the death of plants. Growing hemp in winter requires a responsible and competent approach.
WARNING! The information is for informational purposes only for those growers who are engaged in the cultivation of hemp in regions where it is permitted by law. Cultivation of cannabis in Ukraine is illegal today.
Hemp belongs to light-loving plants. The life cycle of cannabis coincides with the warm season. The light day in summer lasts much longer than in winter, allowing plants to fill with juice, develop a strong root system and bloom actively. Winter does not allow growers to go out and grow outdoors. But you can learn the rule show to properly grow hemp in winter, learn the basics of winter cultivation, and harvest throughout the year.
Firstly, you need to choose and purchase seed, and then start organizing the landing and growing place. If we talk about the choice of seeds, then the optimal option will be autoflowering varieties. The bushes of such plants are distinguished by their compact size, short ripening period, and minimal labor costs.
The winter period dictates its rules to growers. Hemp and frost incompatible concepts. It is necessary to carefully prepare the place, and also make sure that the plants get the necessary amount of heat and light, feel safe.
Planting hemp in winter significantly differs from the cultivation of outdoor varieties. Bushes can be seriously affected by the fact that the root system cools down quickly, since it is not protected from daily temperature jumps. Therefore, when planning bushes in pots, it is necessary to eliminate the factor of a cold floor. This is achieved with simple stands made of cardboard, plywood, foam or plastic boxes. The main rule that should be followed when choosing a material is poor thermal conductivity.
The temperature during the growing season should be at the level of 18–20 degrees. During flowering, it is necessary to maintain 24–26 degrees. Failure to comply with the recommendations will slow down the growth of the above-ground part of the bush, as useful substances are not absorbed quickly enough.
In addition to heat, plants must also have light. Cannabis is very sensitive to the light regime. Of course, light is not a problem at all in rooms with windows. Just move the shelf or individual pots closer to the window and, in principle, the issue is solved. But in any case, winter does not indulge in a lot of light, especially sunlight, and it is worth coming up with a system that can provide the bushes with a sufficient amount of light throughout the day. There is no need to invent anything sophisticated. Flashlights or lamps will be enough. Batteries will save when there is no constant access to the electrical network.
Growing marijuana in winter will also require:
Many growers prefer grow boxes for marijuana, but it is not necessary. In addition to the listed factors, there is another very interesting one. Cannabis loves not only light, but also light shades of walls. White will be ideal. But if it is not possible to paint the walls, then a simpler option - foil - is also suitable. The reflective material will create the most comfortable environment for the bushes and promote their proper development.
