Outdoor Grow - Growing Cannabis Outdoors

Growing cannabis outdoors is very popular, not least because the sunlight is free and growing outdoors is often easier than growing indoors. Mother Nature compensates for many things and makes up for many mistakes. When growing indoorgrowing, problems are more likely to occur.

The cannabis plant is a very strong and hardy plant that can grow in many parts of the world. Typically, cannabis plants are planted on balconies, terraces and gardens that are out of sight, or guerrilla-style in the wild. You should always be aware of security and make sure that the plants and you are protected from unwanted eyes.

When growing outdoors, it is important to find the right strain for your climate. It makes sense to grow different strains to gain more experience and to have different harvest times. This way you don't have to harvest everything at once, which can be very busy when growing outdoors.

In general, Kushs, Indicas and Indica dominant varieties (e.g. Hindu Kush, Afghani) are suitable for growing in cooler climates. They flower quickly and ripen before the cold and wet weather sets in. For these regions, short-flowering cannabis varieties are recommended (e.g. Early Skunk, Early Queen, Early Widow, Early Maroc, Bidy Early, Early Durban ....).

Cannabis strains like Durban Poison and Jack Herer become ready to harvest outdoors at the end of September. Some sativa strains with a very long flowering period have not finished flowering when cold weather is already setting in and winter is coming. So they will not finish in colder regions.

In any case, outdoor cannabis cultivation is highly dependent on the weather, the soil condition and composition, and the available water. Temperature, sunlight and rainfall can vary greatly and are very different across the globe.

For successful outdoor cultivation, plants are grown indoors at an early stage and then put outside at the right time. You can find out exactly how this works and everything about the care of outdoor cannabis plants in detail here.

In the wild, cannabis plants start to flower when the days become shorter in autumn and the sunlight then contains more red components. Depending on the variety, this can start earlier or later in autumn.
