How to Make Your Cannabis Setup Adaptable

There’s a good chance your cannabis setup will look different from the time you plant your Amsterdam Genetics cannabis seeds till when they’re ready for harvest. Having an adaptable setup gives you more flexibility for trying different cannabis strains, maintaining a suitable environment for your growing plant, and resolving any issues that may happen during your cultivation.

Want to learn how to make your cannabis setup adaptable to any of these scenarios? Keep reading to see how we recommend setting up indoor or outdoor cultivation.

 

Make Your Indoor Cannabis Cultivation Adaptable

Growing cannabis indoors gives you more control over growing your plant. Flex this advantage by keeping your setup adaptable to different cannabis strains and growing conditions. Here are popular ways to add more flexibility to your indoor grow setup.

 

  1. DIY Setup vs. Growing Kit

All growers remember their first setup. For most of us, it was a makeshift operation that surprisingly worked. Grow kits are becoming more popular and give you all the essentials to start growing weed at home. While grow kits are convenient, building your own setup can be beneficial when you need to adjust it.

The DIY approach to growing cannabis at home helps understand each of the components used to cultivate. You’ll hand-select the best equipment to suit your growing space and the type of cannabis seeds (https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/shop/cannabis-seeds/) you’re growing.

  1. Large enough grow space

Do you already know where you want to grow weed in your house? Before settling on a location, ensure that it’s large enough for the cannabis plant you want to grow.

Different strains of cannabis seeds produce plants of various sizes. Indica plants are genetically smaller than sativa plants. Check out these Indica cannabis seeds, excellent for smaller grow spaces like a closet.

In addition to supporting the plant’s growth, the grow space must also allow you to maintain your plants. Think about those plants in the back!

 

  1. Adjustable components

Indoor grow setups consist of numerous parts. The more adjustable these elements are, the better suitable your setup is for growing cannabis.

As you design your setup, some common adjustable components include lights with an adjustable height, changeable support netting, and oscillating fans. A flexible setup also allows you to make upgrades in the future without rebuilding your entire setup.

  1. Large Power Strip

How do you plan to power your indoor grow setup? Indoor grow setups require lights, fans, timers, and many other components that you have to plug in.

A large power strip will be a lifesaver once you begin cultivating. Leave a few open sockets to make it easier to adapt your setup with more fans, a dehumidifier, etc.

 

Make Your Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation Adaptable

Building your outdoor setup is simpler than an indoor setup since many elements are provided naturally, like sunlight! However, you can still achieve a flexible setup to adapt to the sometimes unpredictable occurrences of growing outdoors.

 

  1. Pot vs. soil

Planting your cannabis plant in a pot or soil both have advantages. For example, soil gives unlimited room for root growth and can produce larger plants. However, growing in a pot allows for better adaptability for your setup.

The advantages of using pots include the following:

  • Relocating your plant
  • Regulating the temperature of the roots

Harmful external factors common in outdoor cultivations, such as extreme weather and pests, can cause you to move your plant. Having flexibility in location also lets you obtain the maximum sunlight if the current location isn’t sufficient.

Not all pots are made the same. Standard plastic pots are cheap and easy to get if you’re on a budget, but the material can cause overheating. Fabric pots improve air circulation for the roots, and terracotta pots help with drainage issues. Select a pot suitable for your growing environment.

  1. Make your setup scalable

In the Netherlands, you can grow up to five plants at home. Germany’s recent decriminalisation laws permit a limit of three plants. In parts of the US where it’s legal, you can cultivate up to 12 at home. Understand the laws about cultivation limits and design your setup to support future grows.

Beginner growers should start with one or two plants. As they gain experience growing cannabis, they should use a scalable setup to accommodate more plants.

  1. Adjustable support features

Plant growth is dynamic, and you’ll experience several changes from seed to harvest. Save money in your setup by opting for adjustable support features. For example, find adjustable stakes to accommodate size growth if used to support stems. Also, adjustable binding materials when using low-stress testing.

Adjustable support elements also make your setup adaptable when growing different strains with varying size characteristics.
