How to Take Care of a Weed Plant

Marijuana plants are very sensitive to living beings and as such, growing your very own green beauties requires you to gain an excellent understanding of their demands.

However, once you start learning how to take care of a weed plant, you will simply become better after each trial, so that your cannaventure will just become more and more joyful with time!

None of us was born with some built-in weed growing superpowers so there is actually nothing to be worried about, as many growers have been, are, and will be exactly where you are right now with your marijuana growing journey.

Keep reading and you will get ready to enjoy your premium homemade weed collection with less of a fuss and plenty to smile about!

Choose the Most Suitable Strains for Yourself


It is really so much easier to grow your weed when you actually know what you are expecting, that it almost hurts my brain!

If you live in a geographic region where the temperatures tend to fall down at night, then you will have a better success with strains, which are naturally more resistant to cold.
On another note, if you are planning on a discreet indoor growing operation, you will want to choose strains, which do not emit too much of an odor or do not grow too tall in height.

Thus, choosing the most suitable marijuana strain/s to grow is a small but very crucial step that needs to mark the beginning of your weed growing process.

Pick the Growing Medium

You can grow your weed using soil as a medium but you can also opt for soilless methods, including the Ferrari of cannabis cultivation for maximized yields – hydroponics.

Most of the newbie marijuana growers are not advised to go for hydroponics, however, I believe this is very old-dated.

Nowadays there are multiple hydroponic systems which are perfectly well-suited for beginners and generally, growers of all levels.

Grow boxes are another awesome option since you literally get everything set and done for you to start your growing gig!

Of course, traditional methods such as planting in the soil will forever remain a cult classic. Just make sure you use a suitable super soil mix because you need a nutrient-rich and pH-balanced soil.

Use Reliable Containers

When your cannabis plants are still seedlings, you want to place them in small containers because using large ones will disrupt the nutrient absorption.

When your plants are put in a bigger or a smaller container than what actually fits their state of development, the roots fail to absorb the nutrients properly and the body of your green beauties lacks behind in growth.

After all, you are going to smoke buds and not roots, that’s for sure!

For example, once you have germinated your seeds or laid your hands on your clones, place them in a tiny plastic cup, as for one-dose coffee plastics.

Then as the plants grow and you notice the roots need more space, gently transfer the plants into yogurt plastic cups-sized containers and continue to monitor them for the next transfer.

Understand the Needs of your Marijuana Plants during the Vegetative and Flowering Stage


Do not underestimate the difference in the growth patterns and needs of your marijuana plants.

During the vegetative stage, it is the best time to train your green beauties, to shower them with suitable lights, such as sunlight, MH, cool white fluorescent of 400W-600W (in the case you grow no more than 15 plants) or LEDs.

Then in the flowering stage, you need to opt for: sunlight (always suitable and welcome with the full light spectrum for your plants), HPS lights, soft white or LED.

However, training your plants during the flowering stage can cause you to end up disappointed upon harvesting, so all in all – just do your research and you will be unbeatable.

Sustain the Proper Temperature, Humidity, and Lights in your Cannabis Growing Space


Your marijuana plants are very straightforward ladies; they always tell you when something wrong is going on with them, and they don’t blame you for anything!

They just want your love and protection. You are their Angel Guardian or their Demon.

If you leave your green beauties unattended and you don’t use a room thermometer, as well as a hygrometer and suitable lights for indoor operations – then your green princesses will suffer!

Keep all those conditions consistent – and they will flourish! Doesn’t get simpler than this.

Utilize the Nutrient Supplements for your Weed Plants


The whole nutrient supplements scenario is in fact, very straightforward as well –
build a schedule, keep a diary, use your pH tester, and you will be alright!

You can’t just throw the nutrients without a measure thinking that the more, the better.

It is good to remember that with nutrients, you’d better stay modest and precise because too much can literally KILL your plants while too little might simply decrease your yields, which is obviously the less bad (if there’s such a category at all!).

Water your Green Beauties the Best Way & Keep the Growing Environment Hygienic


Keep monitoring the pH levels of the water (just like you are monitoring those of the soil), and you will be alright!

Use a mixture of soft and hard water to create the best nutrient absorption rate for your plants.

Don’t water your green goddesses at the peak hot hours when water evaporates far too quickly and causes harm to your ladies.

Best of all, always strive to sustain high hygiene in your growing space.

The quality of your buds will suffer from molds, dust, pets or other animals’ hairs, and bacteria so keep that in mind and be strict about cleaning the growing environment.

But above all, give your plants all your love! Neuroscientists have proven the correlation between growers and their plants.

Or as a beloved friend of mine once said: “I love plants more than I love people because when you give your plants love they always, always pay you back!”
