The cannabis plant is sensitive to climate factors and requires a good amount of light, water, and air to grow exponentially. Growing in soil requires extra care in terms of plant requirements but growing in specifically designed grow materials is an easy job. Traditionally, cannabis was grown outdoors, but various modern growing techniques have increased the indoor cultivation of cannabis because it takes less effort, time, and care.
Moreover, new cultivation methods have made it easy to grow in a small area, minimizing the need for a large land piece. Modern climate control gadgets and lighting facilities have enabled cannabis growers to maintain temperatures, airflows, and light in grow areas.

- Fluorescent Lights
Metal halide (MH) bulbs will be best during vegetative development. High-Weight Sodium (HPS) will be the best suited during the flowering stage of development of your cannabis plants. On the off chance that you can only bear the cost of one, pick HPS as they are more effective on a ‘watt-to-light’ delivered scale.

As a first-time grower, I would recommend you to choose the soil as a growing medium as it offers the advantage of being cheap, less expensive, easy to manipulate, and handle with fewer chances of making an error.
- Soil
- Hydroponic system
- Your Cannabis is ready to be harvested!
The final step of your long, tiresome journey of growing marijuana is harvesting your plants. The buds of a mature female cannabis plant have a mix-up of leaves with them. You can trim the buds by using scissors. Initially, this may seem tiresome & once you get used to it, you will enjoy it for sure. Most of us are interested in the buds that contain the most amount of THC that makes you high.
- Drying of the buds
After cutting, buds are hanged for about a week to dry. Dry your buds in a cool spot with little dampness. In a perfect world, this procedure is moderate and should take at least fourteen days. After two weeks, you can store the dried buds in a jar for future use.
- Hydroponics
Hydroponics is a practical indoor cannabis growing technique that does not require soil. The plants grown in hydroponics systems are provided with water solutions mixed with the desired amount of nutrients. You can now grow your cannabis plants using state of art five bucket DWC technique & gain maximum potential from your plants by trimming and training methods to adjust them in limited grow space.
You can grow your cannabis plants with a good water supply and specially designed sophisticated systems specifically designed to control environmental factors, including airflow, light, and temperatures in the growing area.
Hydroponics systems are user-friendly and minimize the human efforts required in traditional cannabis cultivation methods. These modernized methods of cannabis growing are popular among growers because they are operated under controlled climatic conditions.
