We’ve already chosen a strain that matches our preferences and conditions, and found a good spot. Now it’s time to think about indoor pre-vegetation, organic soils & fertilizers, and watering.
The first steps towards our common goal of large outdoor harvests for the upcoming season were already made. We’ve spent time to choose strains that match our personal preferences, and also the climatic conditions at our grow location. Now it’s time to think about a way to give our seedlings a good start in life, and how to match their needs with organic soils and fertilizers. At the end of this blog, we’re going to briefly talk about watering cannabis plants in general, and also about methods to overcome the watering issue of guerilla grows. If you’ve missed out on Part 1 covering the topics “choose the right strain” and “find a promising spot”, you can go back by clicking here.

Solution: You’ll simply expose your seedlings to the same amount of light hours they would normally receive outside, so closer to 14 than 18 hours. Each and every day, you can add a few minutes of light, imitating the actual sunrise and sunset you check online. When you have the chance, expose your seedlings to direct sunlight, and gradually increase the amount of sunlight per day.
Cannabis is a natural plant, and enough agricultural enterprises damage soils, groundwater, and biodiversity by producing crops with mineral based fertilizers, pesticides, and all kinds of chemicals we don’t necessarily want to smoke. Organically produced buds will taste better, and future generations of growers also have the chance to practice this hobby – a classic win-win situation.

Giving your plants the right amount of water is the best way to promote healthy growth. Many novice growers, and even the more experienced, tend to do overwater their plants. Guerilla growers, especially in warmer climates, often have a different problem – getting enough water to their plants.
