Growing In Pots

Growing marijuana indoors means growing it in pots and there are many advantages in using pots, such as being able to maintain the soil properly. This is important because soil can contain bugs and disease that can kill even a mature plant.

It also means being in control of the amount of water in the soil, the size of the plant and whether it is a male or a female. Being able to monitor the acidic level in the soil is important and it can be done easily when the plants are in pots. Monitoring this level means being able to ensure the marijuana plant is a female and it gets the proper nutrients.

The first pot the seed should be put in after it has been germinated is a peat pot and when it is time to transplant seedling pot can be made of clay or plastic that should be no larger than 6 inches in diameter. After this it can be planted into their permanent pot, which can be at least the 3 gallon container, because marijuana needs room for their roots as they grow. Transplanting into the permanent container usually can occur approximately two weeks after being placed in their 6 inch container.

While changing from pot to pot it is important for the plants roots to have enough room to spread out, if they should become root bound it can affect the growth of the plant even throughout maturity.
