The Growth Phase of the Cannabis Plant Nursery

In this growth phase, cannabis plants have one stem that grows upwards and still has cotyledon as a food reserve, because the roots owned by the cannabis plant in this phase have not been able to meet the supply of food ingredients used for growing processes, due to root conditions optimally collecting food extracts and still in fragile condition.

In this phase cannabis plants are very sensitive and need intensive care because in this phase the plants are more susceptible to death.

in this phase, the farmer must have a lot of patience because at least he must maintain and wait until the cannabis plant can be transferred to a growing medium that has a larger volume.

The period of breeding cannabis plants

In general, cannabis plants have a seedling phase that varies based on the type and condition of the growth of this plant. the age for this nursery phase is between 1-4 weeks. Some farmers indicate that the breeding phase ends with cotyledon leaves wilting and the first leaves growing will look yellow.

For optimal growth, we need to pay attention to this nursery period:

seedlings need at least 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark conditions, many of the experiences of farmers often provide 18-24 hours of light with the hope that plants grow faster, but there is still much debate about giving 24 hours of light, because there are still people who think that cannabis plants also need a night cycle for root growth. In part for the farmers' information, if the seedling period is given 16 hours of lighting conditions and 8 hours of dark conditions, then the seeds that will grow tend to be plants of the female sex.

the lighting section is very important, for affordable costs and optimal results, it is recommended to use T5 fluorescent 5600K lamps for the wattage according to the number of seeds available -

the distance between plants and lights is 2 to 6 inches or 5-15cm from plants.

fragile root conditions cause cannabis plants to require a warm and constant temperature of 25 ° - 27 ° C.

do not give too much water in this phase, because the roots are very susceptible to rot if under too much water.

during the growth phase of the cannabis plant within 10-14 days, it must have true leaves larger than cotyledon. during this time moisture is the most necessary.

the most important thing to keep in mind is to maintain moisture. don't use the humidity regulator, because the growth of seeds from seeds is different from the growth of seedlings from cloning.

Do not give excessive fertilization during this phase, even in this phase including cloning plants, not allowed to provide fertilizer.

As well as no less important that needs to be considered by farmers is, caring for the plants with love.
