Indoor Medical Marijuana Cultivation Guide

Medical marijuana is legal in almost 14 states in the US and this is due to the fact that doctors believe that marijuana has healing properties. Under federal law, growing marijuana, using it or having it in your possession is a criminal offense and for this reason, it is important that unless you have your doctor’s recommendation to use it, you don’t even think about growing this substance at home.

Everything You Need to Grow Weed Indoors

For those who have obtained permission to grow marijuana legally, it is important that you learn the techniques of growing and growing cannabis. Given below is a brief medical marijuana growing guide that can help you understand the process better.

1. Choose a space to grow – some great places include the basement, closet and attic. Whatever indoor location you choose, make sure it has access to an electrical outlet.

2. Containers – You need to grow plants in pots or containers. Always make sure that you use a large plastic pot.

3. Lighting – if you grow plants indoors, then there is no chance for your plants to get enough sunlight. Since plants like marijuana need lots of sunlight to grow well, you can use artificial lighting to give your plant all the light it needs to grow. Some good options include fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps, and high pressure sodium lamps.

4. Consider the factors that will affect the rate of photosynthesis – apart from the amount of light reaching the plant, there are other factors that will affect the rate of photosynthesis. This includes humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, water, etc.

5. Harvest – the best harvest time is when the plants have started to flower. Wait until the flowering process is complete. Cut the plant, remove the lower large leaves and place the plant in a shoebox. Stir them daily as this will help them dry quickly. Once the plants are completely dry, they are ready to use.

Conclusion

Indoor operations also allow dealers and suppliers greater control over their growing environments, enabling them to manipulate conditions to produce the highest yields possible. Centrally-heated indoor environments also eliminate the issue of seasonality and allow growers to produce the drug year-round. Finally, being able to exercise such a high degree of control over growing conditions allows sellers to produce as potent a product as possible. All of these factors result in higher profits for marijuana growers.
