THE TIME IS NOW… OR? – THE BEST TIMES FOR CANNABIS CULTIVATION
The right time for cultivating cannabis is crucial for a successful harvest. In this guide, we explain when the best time for sowing is, what climatic conditions are ideal, and which factors you should consider to get healthy plants with maximum yield.
WHEN DOES CANNABIS SEED SOWING BEGIN?
The ideal time for sowing cannabis seeds strongly depends on the cultivation location. In temperate climates, sowing typically starts in the spring, when temperatures are consistently above 10°C. This means that for the northern hemisphere, sowing should take place in April or May. In warmer regions, sowing can begin earlier.
Indoor growers are independent of these climatic conditions and can start sowing throughout the year. However, it is still advisable to align with natural light cycles to save energy and optimize growing conditions.
WHAT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL FOR CANNABIS CULTIVATION?
Cannabis requires a warm and sunny climate with temperatures between 20 and 30°C. The humidity during the growing phase should range between 40 and 70%. During the flowering phase, it’s ideal to reduce humidity to 40–50% to prevent mold growth.
CULTIVATION PHASES AND OPTIMAL TIMES
- Germination (March – May): Seeds germinate best at temperatures of around 22–25°C.
- Vegetative Phase (April – June): During this time, the plants grow vigorously and require a lot of light (at least 18 hours daily for indoor growing).
- Flowering Phase (July – October): Once the days get shorter, flowering begins. Outdoor plants typically start flowering in July or August and are ready to harvest, depending on the strain, from September to October.
SPECIAL TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CANNABIS HARVEST
- Choose strains that are optimal for your climate zone.
- Use nutrient-rich soil and ensure good drainage.
- Regularly check for pests and diseases to keep the plants healthy.
- For outdoor cultivation: Keep an eye on the weather forecast to avoid damage from unexpected cold snaps or heavy rain.
LET’S MAKE THIS MOMENT RIGHT
The best time for cannabis cultivation depends heavily on the climatic conditions of your location. While outdoor growers need to follow the seasons, indoor growers have greater flexibility. By choosing the right strain and creating optimal conditions, you can achieve a bountiful harvest with high quality.
