Question 1

How often should I water my marijuana plants?

Accepted Answer

Watering frequency depends on the plant’s stage and environment. Seedlings need light, frequent watering to keep the soil moist but not soaked. Mature plants generally require watering when the top inch of soil feels dry, roughly every 2-3 days. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so proper drainage is essential.

Question 2

What is the best light schedule for growing marijuana indoors?

Accepted Answer

During the vegetative stage, marijuana plants thrive with 18-24 hours of light per day. For flowering, switch to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness daily to trigger bud development.

Question 3

How do I know when my marijuana plant is ready to harvest?

Accepted Answer

Harvest time is typically determined by examining the trichomes and pistils. Trichomes shift from clear to milky white or amber, and pistils change from white to reddish or brown. Use a magnifying glass to help identify the ideal harvest window for potency and desired effects.

Question 4

Can I grow marijuana outdoors, and what conditions do they need?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Marijuana grows well outdoors in regions with plenty of sunlight (at least 6 hours per day), warm temperatures (65-85°F), and low humidity to prevent mold. Outdoor growers should also consider soil quality, pests, and privacy regulations.

Question 5

What are common pests or diseases to watch for, and how can I prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Common pests include spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies. Diseases like powdery mildew can affect plants in high humidity. Prevention involves maintaining good airflow, keeping the grow area clean, regularly inspecting plants, and using organic pest controls like neem oil.
