So you want to grow marijuana without using soil? This is what most cannabis farmers do especially when the need to cultivate indoors arises. Due to the fact that this plant is still not freely accepted, most farmers are forced to have this in their homes or in their rooms for that matter.
When it comes to indoor cultivation, soilless or hydroponics method is the best option to use. You might think that this is less viable than the regular method but that is not the case really. As a matter of fact, this system is even said to be advantageous in a number of ways.
More affordable
The setup might be more complicated as everything is fabricated but in the long run, this will be fully compensated. Yes, and you can even say that this method is more affordable at that. One reason is that of the fact that you need less pesticides. Why?
Most pests are found in the soil and since you won’t be using such medium, it goes without saying that these pests cannot access your plants.
Less Diseases
Though pesticides might be able to address pests, we all know that they have their own adverse effects. They can generate diseases and the pests themselves can generate the same thing. But with both of them not used, then you can say that diseases will not be part of your problem.
Less water
As the world of your plants will be purely created, they will basically grow in a reservoir. Because of that, you cannot really overwater them as they will just take the exact amount they need. Unlike when you will have them in the soil where overwatering happens most of the time.
Less space
With hydroponics, you can setup the mediums in a stack format or whatever is most convenient in the space available. You can even just have them in one of the corners of your room for that matter. Indeed when you have limited space, this method is the most appropriate.
Growing your own marijuana is indeed a good thing knowing the many benefits this plant can bring about. However, your harvest will usually depend on how you cultivate it. This is why be sure you are already well-informed before embarking on this. At the same time, be sure as well that you have what it takes.
