How To Grow Weed Outdoors

Growing weed outside can be tricky, especially for new growers. There are many potential issues that depend on uncontrollable variables. For example, weather, insects, mould, sunlight, and other factors. However, in the right environment, outdoor cannabis growing produces amazing results. You get healthy, high-yielding plants.

There are many things to sort out before planting crops. We need to choose where we will grow. It's essential to examine the soil, decide on growing in containers or directly in the ground, and plan plant care. It’s also vital that we consider our growing environment.

Environment is a crucial factor. Before selecting a strain, think about the weather where you live. Different strains suit different spaces. In tropical environments with sufficient sun and humidity, most strains grow easily. However, in colder climates with shorter summers, it can be trickier.

There are strains that flower faster, like the cold, and need less sun. Rainfall affects how we plant weed. It’s important to be sure of the surroundings before proceeding further.

Choosing a Grow Space is essential. Growing outdoors requires the perfect space, where plants access sunlight but aren’t overexposed. Around five hours of sun daily is ideal for cannabis plants.

Ensure there is plenty of space for plants to have their own areas. Check access to the grow site for watering. Finally, soil needs to be just right, have drainage, and be rich in nutrients.

Checking the soil is essential. There are a few different soil types. Make sure the grow space is good for plants. If soil is home to bugs, it means it's rich in nutrients.

It is also healthy if it contains organic matter like rotting plants or wood. Check the soil’s pH and ensure acidity lies between 5.5 and 6.5. If soil is too alkaline or acidic, plants won’t grow well. Silt-rich soil is best for cannabis as it warms, drains well, and holds moisture.

If the soil isn’t ideal but the space is, buy your own soil or use pots. Pots ensure that plants get all the nutrients they need. Also, sunny spots often move, and if plants are in pots, they are mobile.

However, planting directly into the ground is easier. Plant roots have more space to spread out. If containers are too small, roots can rot or become bound and stop taking in nutrients.

Once plants are thriving in the ground or pots, protect them. One of the biggest threats is bugs and other pests. Some growers only protect against many-legged threats. However, all threats need consideration.

This is crucial for those in areas with bunnies, deer, or rats. Make sure plants are protected by a wire fence that keeps out larger pests. You may also want to add netting for curious birds.

For smaller pests, use organic insecticides like pyrethrum. Garlic wards off beetles and other bugs. Keep an eye on crops for signs of pest activity.

In areas with unpredictable weather, protect plants from excessive wind and rain. Ensure the grow spot has a wall to stop gales from damaging plants.

If worried about rainfall drowning plants, use a plastic sheet over them. Make holes to allow some rainwater through. Watch out for mould in wet areas, as it can destroy crops quickly.

There are additional considerations depending on the strain. Larger, heavier yielding strains may need support, like a cage, to prevent branches from snapping.

For bushier plants, trimming is necessary to prevent them from becoming overburdened. Dead leaves or branches attract insects. It's hard to cover everything a beginner needs to know in so few words.

Hopefully, this provides new growers an idea of what’s involved. Outdoor growing can produce incredible crops if done correctly.
