When venturing into the cannabis growing world, temperature would be one of the most important factors a new grower would need to learn how to control especially when growing cannabis indoors.
Cannabis plants do like being in warm comfortable environments, but not too warm at the same time. Extreme heat will stress a plant enough to burn it so you will need to be keeping an eye out for that.
Learn To Identify Heatstress.
When growing cannabis you will be undoubtedly spending a lot of time looking at your art, learning to identify when a plant is experiencing ill health, is one of the key factors to successful and happy growing.
Heat stress is one of the easiest to identify. When plants are experiencing heat stress, the plants become droopy and normally start to wilt. Fan leaves tend to curl up during extreme heat stress.
Heat stress can be coming both from extreme heat outdoors or from your indoor equipment producing too much warmth.
How To Prevent Heat Stress- Indoor Growing
Lifting your lights a little higher up generally does the trick, if you notice your equipment does tend to produce a lot of heat it might be time for you to replace it.
Placing your grow tent in a place where there is an Air conditioning unit or where there is considerable ventilation will undoubtedly help prevent heat stress.
Also, do not forget about airflow inside your growroom/growtent and make sure to place fans and air extraction units needed for the stale air to flow out
Outdoor Growing-Avoiding Heat Stress
Outdoor growers have undoubtedly much less control over the environment, and for this reason and outdoor grower must learn to protect his plants against the adversities of nature.
It is recommended to keep plants in pots rather than rooted into the ground so that when a heatwave strikes you will be able to move them into a shady spot.
Always try to choose spots for your plants where they can reach the sun but the stem and roots are protected by the shade.
Do not forget to water your plants when growing plants outdoors, a plant growing outdoor may drink twice as much as the same plant growing indoors, especially in extremely humid and hot countries.
For plants which do get direct sunlight, it recommended to cover the soil with a white cloth or some hay creating a shadow for the soil itself while the hay provides adequate ventilation.
