What are some of the routine changes that you need for cannabis cultivation?

At home cannabis cultivation means you are signing yourself up for daily check ups on your plant, growing space upkeep, and routine changes to navigate the unpredictable world of growing cannabis. If you are up for the challenge, here are a few things that will keep you busy during your cultivation:

• Adjust lighting, water, and other resources at different stages of your plant growth. During the year the seasons change so all these resources also change the way your plant needs it. 
• Maintenance for your grow setup, always keeping it clean and working properly. 
• Monitor for potential threats from external factors, not only weather but animals and pests. 
• Managing aroma.

The timing of certain routine changes may come unexpectedly for beginner growers. Being prepared for the changes helps keep your plant growth on schedule. Unanticipated system failures and external factors can happen to anyone, even master growers.

Stay prepared for any scenario by planning ahead for these routine changes.

5 Ways to Planning for Routine Changes in Your Cultivation

1. Start efficiently

How you plant your cannabis seeds is the foundation of successful cultivation. Knowing that plants must undergo routine maintenance will help you decide where to grow your seeds.

Choose a growing spot that you can easily access daily and as needed. Cultivating at home, indoors or outdoors, provides excellent location options. For cultivating indoors, anticipate managing the pungent smell during flowering. For outdoor growing, consider how external factors may affect your growth and pick a location that minimizes the risk. So again, it all depends on where you are growing your plants to adjust to it. 

You will be surprised how a good grow spot can save you from common challenges to growing cannabis. If your last harvest was not as successful as you hoped for, try growing in a new location to improve. This may be the main point for the success your have been waiting for with your plants. }

2. Have products stocked and ready to use

THe proper nutrients, adequate amount of water, the correct lightning and many other resources are needed to grow successfully. Plan to have a budget for your growth and keep items stocked that you will need during the growth cycle.

Having the right products on hand makes the growing experience more efficient and easier for you. Keep an eye on how much product you are using and restock when you are getting low, like a business you may need to have an inventory of all the materials. For example, having the proper soil, nutrients, clean filters, etc. ready when you need them. 

In addition to the products that your plant consumes, you also need the right equipment. Keep trimmers on hand for de-leafing, ties for low stress testing, and an extra container for when it is time to clean your setup. 

Plan ahead for what you will need during routine changes to the plant’s growth cycle. It sure beats running to the store for supplies every other day! So save time and money, some of the equipment or materials may be out of stock, so you will need to wait or spend more money to get them quickly. 

3. Anticipate unexpected external factors

We can count on one hand the number of times a growth goes exactly as you expect. Yes, even the experts run into challenges while cultivating cannabis. The difference between beginning growers and experts is that experts are prepared for anything that may happen during the growing process, so you will need to be ready too.

For outdoor cannabis cultivation, you must be prepared for external factors like weather and pests. These unpredictable external factors are outside of your control when they happen but being prepared will help you adjust accordingly.

4. Know how to troubleshoot your system

The good thing about indoor grow kits is that they come with all the equipment necessary to start growing cannabis at home. The downside is that you may not understand what each piece of equipment does and how it impacts your growth. Making a DIY grow system at home helps you learn about the most effective equipment for your setup, so this is another good option for you. 

There are tradeoffs to each. However, you can not avoid getting to know your setup. Understand how to troubleshoot your system for common events that affect your growth. Some routine changes you can expect are:

• Adjusting the water delivery system.
• Change light schedule and quantity. 
• Applying netting to support heavy buds.
• Altering grow space for growing plants.

Routine changes can happen for positive and negative events. Get to know your growth setup so you know what adjustments to make that will help your plants.

5. Understand your plant and seeds

Even though your cannabis plant can not talk, it always tells you what it needs by its behavior and changes. The challenge is knowing what it is saying. It could be asking for more water or less, more light or telling you it is too much, less heat or that it needs more warmth, more air circulation or too much wind, more nutrients, or that it is sick, etc. It may even be trying to signal to you that it is ready to transition to the next stage. Trust us, you will start to speak of ‘plant’ after a few cultivations.

Understanding your plant will help you adjust your growing routines. You can also experience changes when experimenting with a new strain. We recommend documenting information about your plant so you know what to look for and can translate ‘plant talk’ into the right actions to maximize their growth.

Improve the success of your cannabis cultivation by preparing for routine changes during the grow cycle. Every cultivation requires regular upkeep and maintenance for your plant.

Keep all these common routine changes and tips in mind as you start your next cultivation or if this is your first time. We can guarantee you that planning, keeping track, and adjusting your cultivation, will make the difference in the success of your plants.
