Easiest Marijuana Seeds For Beginners To Grow
With the proliferation of legal marijuana, it’s easier than ever to buy pot in a multitude of different forms for your own use, whether recreational or medical in nature.
However, there is still a fulfillment that comes with growing your own marijuana. Humans have been cultivating marijuana for centuries before the War on Drugs; it was planted widely around the world for its benefits in health, cosmetics, medicine, and even textiles. Today, as cannabis legalization has become the norm, more people are again seeing the modern benefits of planting your own marijuana at home.
You don’t need to have a massive greenhouse in order to do so; just curiosity, patience, and a few pots with substrate. You can grow weed in a closet, and even if you live in a small apartment or bungalow. And after a few months, you have your very own cannabis supply!
That said, some cannabis strains are trickier to grow than others. For newbies, you’re better off starting with strains that are renowned for being easy to grow.
Check out these easy-to-grow, high-yield cannabis strains:
Blue Dream
Blue Dream is an iconic cannabis strain, famous for its uplifting properties. However, the generally high THC content of this phenotype will put you to sleep if you smoke enough of it, since it has a great balance of indica and sativa properties.
Good news for beginner growers: Blue Dream is easy to grow, too! It’s perfect for novice growers, since it can grow both indoors and outdoors. However, if you live in a temperate sunny climate, stick to growing Blue Dream Indoors.
Blue Dream will usually flower between 9 and 12 weeks. Outdoor growers will enjoy flowers by October. If you grow it in all the right conditions, you can expect a yield of around 21 ounces in every plant – which is extremely generous! Unlike many other cannabis strains, Blue Dream can still thrive and survive even if a newbie grower makes a couple of errors.
Be sure to feed the plant liberally with nitrogen. Be wary that Blue Dream is prone to spider mites, but it’s resistant to mold and mildew.
Super Lemon Haze
There are several tasty lemony cannabis strains out there, and Super Lemon Haze is among the best. So if you love the flavor of lemon, growing this easy strain should not be an opportunity to pass up.
Super Lemon Haze flowers in around 10 weeks. During this time, you can expect to see large buds that contain a potent amount of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Keep in mind that this strain thrives in the indoors, though it can also handle large amounts of humidity even as it flowers. Also, Super Lemon Haze is best suited for growers who live in warmer climates; it has a longer flowering period compared to others, which can take long to finish if you live in a colder climate.
This plant is prone to nutrient burn, so be prudent with feeding. The best time to feed it is right when it’s budding, before the flush; this will help it reach the finish line much faster.
Green Crack
Green Crack is a well-loved sativa-dominant hybrid. It’s also known by other names such as Green Crush or Green Kush. Regardless of the name, this sativa-dominant plant is always a reliable choice when it comes to energizing and uplifting properties. It tastes really good too, thanks to a vibrant flavor profile with tropical notes of mango and citrus.
Green Crack is also really easy to grow! It will flower in around 8 weeks, though it does better outdoors where there are no restrictions on space. This way, it can grow tall and wide. Additionally, it has a strong, pungent odor, so growing it indoors may not be suitable if you live in an apartment complex or condominium.
That said, it’s completely possible to grow a healthy Green Crack cannabis plant indoors too, as long as you can. Thanks to a fast flowering cycle, you can expect more harvests each year. Be sure to feed it with a generous amount of phosphorus when the plant is early in its flowering stage; this way, you can ensure that the buds have enough nutrients right before harvest. Cannabis seed guides will highlight phosphorus as a great nutrient before flowering even starts.
Northern Lights
Indoor growers, this one’s for you.
Northern Lights is an iconic cannabis strain, famed for its deep, sedating indica effects that are perfect for anyone who needs to seriously relax or needs help going to sleep. It relaxes you from the inside out, resulting in a sweet body high that will take away any stress with just one hit.
Luckily, it also happens to be an easy grow. This will thrive in the indoors, growing just above 1.2 meters. Whether you opt for a soil-based or hydroponic substrate, what’s important is that you shower it in light and keep it between 70-85F.
Northern Lights will reward you with a hefty yield just after 6 to 7 weeks. Feed it with nitrogen especially during the flowering stage.
Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies is a legendary strain with a unique flavor. It’s as good as it sounds, and if you haven’t tried Girl Scout Cookies yet, take this as your sign.
This special strain stands out for its very distinct aroma, which is particularly sweet and earthy with tones of chocolate and mint. It’s also very potent, known for its high THC concentrations hovering around 17 to 27%. That said, it’s a versatile strain that can be used in a variety of situations, thanks to an abundance of euphoric properties.
Girl Scout Cookies are fairly simple to grow too; it will grow well both indoors and outdoors. Flowering time is around 9 to 10 weeks, but it will result in a bigger harvest when grown indoors. If you choose to grow indoors, be sure to give Girl Scout Cookies tons of light; LED is always a good option because of its energy efficiency. For outdoor growers, keep her in a sunny location to keep her happy: she needs at least 6 hours of sunlight a day.
Pruning Girl Scout Cookies is vital to successful growing as well. This easy step will also ensure you get quality buds.
