If you’re looking to grow Marijuana indoors or outdoors in South Africa, there are a few things you will need to consider. Luckily for us, these aren’t too difficult to get your head around!
Invest in a ventilation system
You’ll also want to invest in a ventilation system, and a carbon filter to remove any odours.
Using carbon filters can be an effective way of keeping your grow room odour free, as well as helping you avoid detection from nosey neighbours or police raids.
Professionals can install carbon filters within minutes, so even if you only have an industrial fan on hand, for now, this is a great first step towards creating the perfect environment for growing weed.
Do your research
Before you grow dagga in South Africa, as mentioned above, you need to do your research and know what you are getting into. There are many resources online that can help with learning how to grow marijuana indoors and outdoors. If you want to grow marijuana outdoors, then make sure that is legal in your area before doing so.
You also need to know how much space is available for growing your plants and how much money you want to spend on the initial setup costs for equipment such as lights, ventilation systems, and so forth. You also need to know what your goals are for growing cannabis plants; whether this is just having a few plants at home or growing enough dagga, each year where it could become a reliable income source for yourself or even family members who live together with no jobs (and therefore no income).
Be mindful of your temperature
If you are growing dagga in soil, moisten the soil before planting. You should also add nutrients.
If you are growing dagga with hydroponics, fill the reservoir with water and add nutrients and oxygenate the water.
Plant your starter seeds in warm and moist soil. The temperature should be at around 25°C (77°F). Use a small container that has drainage holes so that excess water can drain out of it easily if needed.
If you’re growing outdoors, you can use a couple of bags of soil mixed with some perlite – this will help oxygenate the soil and prevent it from becoming compacted by the rain. A grow tent will help protect your plants from the elements as well, but if you’re growing outdoors, you’ll have to be creative.
To keep temperature and humidity levels where they need to be, there are several things that need to be considered:
- Watering is critical – make sure not to over-water your plants as this can lead to root rot or fungus infections!
- Fertilizing is also important as it provides nutrients for growth and helps ward off pests that might otherwise eat up your precious dagga plants! If nothing else goes right with them (which tends not to happen), at least make sure they get enough food! It’s also better for their health in general because unlike marijuana (where nitrogen deficiencies are common), dagga doesn’t usually suffer from nutrient deficiencies unless something goes wrong like extreme weather conditions (for example). This means less stress on both plant AND user 🙂
Greenhouse
For outdoor growth, a small greenhouse is something we would recommend, especially if you live in a climate that experiences extreme temperature changes.
If you live in an area where the temperature drops below freezing, a greenhouse is an essential investment.
You can use plastic sheeting to make your own greenhouse. The most important thing to remember when building one is that the frame must be very sturdy, as it will carry all of your plants and weight. You can buy ready-made frames or build them yourself from wood or steel pipes.
If you want to get fancy with things, there are many other options for materials that can be used for constructing greenhouses: bamboo poles and reeds, coconut fiber mats and paper pulp sheets (for example). If you’re not sure what material would work best for your project – just have a look at [Greenhouse construction guide](https://www.gardeningadvicehub.com/how-to-build-a-greenhouse/)!
