Growing your cannabis plants for the first time might be a great hardship if you have no one to turn to for assistance. You must have heard accounts of folks who had to acquire fresh seeds many times due to various conditions that resulted in their plants dying.

1. Tampering with Seeds

If you are new to cultivating cannabis, the process may seem intimidating at first. You may be afraid to begin growing from seeds and choose to clone plants instead. While increasing a tiny seed into a small seedling and eventually into a large plant dense with colas is an accomplishment in and of itself, it is not difficult.

When a seed is planted, all required to boost growth are soil, some natural sunshine, and water. While you are still in the early stages, you do not need specialized equipment to maximize the development process. Concentrate on the seedlings first; you’ll determine if you need artificial lighting or drip systems afterward. Growing cannabis seedlings is much superior to cloning. Another advantage of growing from seeds is that plants will remain healthier and resistant to illness.

2. Monitor Plant Progress.

External influences should be kept to a minimum. Repositioning the container, watering, changing pots removing leaves, and simply touching the leaves contribute to stress.

Beginners, in particular, never stop mothering and caring for their – often illegal – tenants. While reasonable care is necessary for a successful operation, precisely inspecting seedlings many times a day and watering them three times a day can impede growth rather than stimulate healthy root development.

Lack of experience often results in panic, as when novices or those too sluggish to read the instructions see innocuous changes, such as yellowing and dying leaves in the lower and darker sections of a grow box, and immediately take inappropriate steps.

3. Selecting the Wrong Soil

Avoid reusing potting soil. This also implies that you should avoid using soil from your yard or any other source of uncertain quality. Pests and pollutants are a possibility with reclaimed soils.

Good soil for your plants should be light and airy, preferably including some perlite. This allows the roots to develop freely and ensures sufficient drainage.

4. Planting Unusual Seeds of Unknown Origin

Not all hemp seeds for growing have the same growth qualities. Different cannabis seeds vary significantly. A photoperiod-selective Sativa will indeed act differently than an auto-flowering Indica. Certain types thrive in warmer climates, while others prefer a hot, sunny atmosphere. You’re getting the picture.

5. Unsuitable Manure 

This is often mentioned as the primary cause. However, every manure sold by professional grow shops includes sufficient nourishment to be effective, even in small dosages. Typically, problems are self-inflicted, and if you have manured according to specifications, the issue generally is deeper. A grower ensures that nutrients are distributed appropriately by establishing the proper environment.

If the nutrients applied during watering do not reach the leaves, the plant will become insufficiently fed. A variety of factors may cause the transportation issue, but the most common ones are the usage of excessive manure and water.

6. Cannabis Odor

Cultivating cannabis is a highly fragrant experience. The more cannabis plants you have, the more pungent the stench will be, particularly when your plants begin to bloom. While it’s simple to park your plants in an isolated area, if you have particularly picky neighbors consider planting lavender or other pungent-smelling flowers nearby to mask the odors a bit. 

Conclusion

This is the polar opposite of the initial point. Despite the abundance of credible professional literature, fake news sometimes infiltrates the growers’ community. While some of it is transient, others are unexpectedly persistent. This is because there is little scientific evidence available on cultivating cannabis, just personal experiences.
