There is not much of a difference between indoor and outdoor planting. Tweaking the knowledge you have from indoor planting would make adjustments for the outdoors would make everything easier for you.
Compared to indoor farming, the soil is readily available in outdoor farming. All you need to do is to check the soil’s quality. Its pH levels should neither be acidic nor alkaline. There are tools you can use in checking the soil’s pH levels.
Aside from that, the soil should not be too dry or too moist. Regardless of planting inside or outside, moisture is still Marijuana’s biggest enemy. Make sure that the soil you will be planting in has enough moisture to support the plant during its growth.
A way to sow your seeds is through broadcast seeding. It is scattering seeds on top of the soil to ensure spacing in between them. This method allows the plants to germinate in preparation for the planting period. Another way is to put them in mounds or rows. Using this method is how most growers plant outdoors.
But Marijuana growers do not prefer this method as it makes it obvious that some plant is planted in the area. If you are going to plant outdoors, you wouldn’t want to draw much attention to your cannabis as it is illegal to grow them. It is for your safety too.
Weeds are parasites that take all the nutrients and water away from your plant. It is important to take them out by the time they are starting to grow around your garden. It also helps to remove them before even starting to till your soil. Keeping an eye out in your weeds means keeping an eye out on your weed.
There is an abundance of light outdoors. All you need to worry about light outdoors is if it becomes too much. Remember that one factor that affects cannabis is high temperature. The sun, as the main light source outside, oftentimes produces heat.
You can put a shade over the garden if ever the sun gets too hot and if it gets too dry for the plants to survive. Aside from an abundance of light, there could also be a lack of light. Blockages could be caused by trees or any other plants that are taller than a Marijuana plant.
If that’s the case, transplanting the plants could be the answer. If that’s not something you would want to do, you would have to deal with plants not getting enough dosage of sunlight for the day. Inefficiency could result in a plant growing weak and not producing enough THC and other cannabinoids.
