GROWING WEED CHEAP

Would you like to grow weed, but are you wondering if it doesn't require a major financial investment? When growing cannabis, many people think of bright lights, expensive irrigation systems and an excess of fertilizers. But growing weed can also be really cheap. Especially if you just want to grow some cannabis plants for yourself. In this blog, you can read how to approach that, both indoors and outdoors. And it turns out, growing cannabis can be cheap, especially if you focus on organic cultivation and use raw materials efficiently.

Tips for growing cheap cannabis

You can make growing weed as pricey as you want, but luckily it can also be cheap. Below you will find useful tips for growing cannabis on a budget, both indoors and outdoors.

Growing outdoors

Growing outdoors is in principle the most economical. But here too you can certainly do a lot of things to make growing as cheap as possible.

1. Go organic

With organic farming you probably think that this is more expensive (organic meat is also expensive, right?). But growing organic weed can actually save you money. Your plants are in the open air, so you can use rainwater. That saves on your water bill. If you put the plants in the open ground, you don't need pots and the cannabis plants can also become quite large. So you get a lot for your money. In addition, the soil they are in ensures that the soil is rich in microbes, making your plants strong and healthy. Collect rainwater to water your plants in the dry season.

2. Growing autoflowering cannabis plants

If you want to grow cannabis cheaply, it is a good idea to choose autoflowering cannabis plants. First of all, these plants are very easy to maintain: they require little nutrition. This saves you money on fertilizers. They can bloom practically anywhere, whether you just put them in your garden or in a grow tent. Autoflower weed has another advantage: they are not dependent on the seasons. They will flower automatically after 3 to 4 weeks, making it possible to harvest weed several times per season.

3. Reuse Earth

Anyone who does make an investment and uses high-quality soil in their garden or pots can benefit greatly from this. It is worth using this earth again. You would do well to supplement it with new material. This is good for the drainage, aeration, and texture of the soil. This way your plants have new nutrition, and you have saved money with this.

4. Working sustainably

Sustainable cultivation does not only mean environmentally friendly cultivation, but also save money. And of course that's what we're going for. Instead of fertilizers, you can use compost. For this you need a compost bin and if you put your biological waste in it (such as tea bags, food scraps and the like) you can compost it. You then use this as extra food for your cannabis plants. Other solutions include using gray water to water the plants in drier months. This is the (non-polluted) water from your household, such as dishwater and shower water. This way you can save money in various ways.

Cultivating cheap indoor cannabis

Plants grown indoors require a little more care than outdoors. That makes sense: you have to get all the nutrients, light and air to your plants yourself. But that can also be done cheaply. Below you will find tips to grow cannabis indoors as cheaply as possible.

1. Training cannabis plants

If you let cannabis plants run their course, they will grow according to their own nature. By training and trimming you will control growth, allowing you to make more efficient use of light and air. This helps to increase the yield of your plants. There are different methods you can use, from simple to complicated. Low stress training can also be mastered quickly by beginners. Techniques such as fimming and supercropping require more skills and are suitable if you have more experience with growing.

2. Microculture

You don't need that much space to grow cannabis at home. A good option to save money is to use micro-cultivation. Then you keep the plants small and you grow them in a cupboard, for example. Cover the walls with white plastic to reflect the light so your plants can absorb more.

3. Use LED lighting

What consumes a lot of power in indoor cultivation is the lighting. You do need them and HID lamps are often used (HID stands for High Intensity Dicharge). These lamps do not cost much when purchased, but they consume a lot of power. In addition, they also give off a lot of heat, which is not useful in small spaces. LED lighting is more expensive to purchase, but is so economical that it pays for itself quickly.

4. Saving water with rainwater

Rainwater is also suitable for indoor cultivation. In our country, quite a bit falls every year, so it's a good idea to take advantage of that. Make sure you can catch it and use it to water your plants. This allows you to save on your water costs.
