<\/span>Looking to start growing cannabis indoors? Excited, but not sure how to grow weed indoors while getting the best quality out of your yield?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help you find out. The good news is that marijuana is a sturdy plant, and is able to withstand most beginners\u2019 mistakes. It also doesn\u2019t have to be expensive, as cannabis is able to adapt to most environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the proper knowledge, inexperienced hobbyists shouldn\u2019t have any trouble learning how to grow weed indoors. This guide contains the information you\u2019ll need to create the most beautiful and potent buds at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From selecting your seeds to the harvesting process, we\u2019ll cover all aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing Your Seeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before acquiring any equipment, you\u2019ll need to select the strain of cannabis seed you\u2019d like to grow. From cannabis indica<\/a>, ruderalis, or sativa, many species are available, each producing different effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best place to start might be with a strain you\u2019re familiar with. One that produces satisfactory results for your particular needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For beginners, it\u2019s preferable to start small, for a few reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it\u2019s less costly to acquire initial material \u2014 seeds and equipment \u2014 for a small number of plants. First-time growers often make mistakes that are fatal to the plant. Losing three plants will have a lesser impact on your wallet than losing 20 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also easier to keep a close eye on fewer plants. Monitoring cannabis \u2014 ensuring proper lighting, nutrients, and ventilation \u2014 can be time-consuming and requires constant supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Right Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve selected your seeds, you\u2019ll want to set up a suitable environment for optimum growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This environment can be either a grow room, a closet, a tent, or even a spare room. You\u2019ll just need to adapt your equipment to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a Grow Medium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most hobbyists tend to grow cannabis in organic or regular soil; however, a few other alternatives are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular Soil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

More than the soil itself, the pH level and the number of nutrients present in the soil will greatly impact the growth of your weed. The texture of the soil is also important to consider, as it will affect water retention and drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many growers prefer organic soil as they\u2019re more nutrient-rich. Some even make their own soil at home<\/a>. Regular soil can also be mixed with other types of growing medium<\/a> \u2014 such as coco coir \u2014 to combine the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coco Coir<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Coco coir uses coconut husks fibers. It promotes a fast growth, similar to hydroponic plants, and allows better absorption of moisture compared to regular soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the light texture, nutrients are better absorbed. The quality of the material will make a significant difference when it comes to the roots\u2019 growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For beginners, a 3:1 perlite<\/a> ratio is recommended. For more experienced growers, a 1:1 perlite ratio will require more frequent watering, but gives more nutrients as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep Water Culture Hydroponics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hydroponics cannabis is grown without the use of any soil. This grow medium normally means faster growth, as the roots don\u2019t need to search for nutrients deep in the soil. The roots access nutrients directly from the water itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the plant isn\u2019t spending as much energy on finding its food, it will spend that extra energy on expanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seeds are first placed in a tube of water. Once your plant outgrows the tube, place it in a bubble bucket reservoir. To prevent the roots from rotting, it’s imperative to change the water in the reservoir on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best to grow one plant in each reservoir. A crowded environment will encourage the growth of mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When considering how much space you\u2019ll need to grow your cannabis, here are a few things to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
