What You Need to Grow Outdoors

When you choose to grow outdoors it is not always clear what is needed, starting from the assumption that this type of cultivation could work completely independently and according to nature it is important to understand what could be helpful or in any case essential to obtain optimal results .

 

Will I need a substrate?

The answer depends on your choices, i.e. whether you prefer to grow in

pot or directly in the ground. In the second case, obviously you will not have

need to buy a substrate because you will already have the soil.

However, you can always improve the soil with some products.

On the contrary, if you want to grow in pots, you will need a substrate.

But which substrate should be used?

 

Choose a substrate

The choice of substrate is fundamental for a grower. You need to consider your cultivation goals, your experience and your available budget. Each substrate has specific properties and can have various effects on your plant. For the novice grower, a peat-based substrate with an intense microbial life is recommended . Ideally, the substrate is produced for organic fertilization. A more experienced grower can shorten pretilization times and use mineral nutrients. This results in faster and larger yields, but it is a more complicated process because the grower will need to carefully monitor pH values.

In addition to soil substrates, there are substrates based on coconut fiber or

clay granules. These are more suitable for advanced growers, given that

produce excellent results with mineral nutrients and an irrigation system.

 

 

Will I need basic nutrients?

Plants need certain elements to transition to the

flowering. Three of these elements are supplied by air and water:

carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen. But in addition to these elements,

a plant needs other essential elements. One element yes

defines essential if the plant cannot complete its cycle in

its absence and if it cannot be replaced by other elements. To provide these

nutrients to your plants you will need an NPK fertilizer.

 

NPK nutrition.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the main nutrients needed by every plant.

But these three elements are not totally sufficient and your plant will have

need other elements to grow and flourish at its best. Certainly not

they will be needed in smaller quantities, but these are still essential for the final product of your harvest. Plagron base nutrients provide these minerals to your plant.

 

Secondary nutrients:

 

Soccer . Necessary for nutrient absorption and improves structure

of the cell wall.

Magnesium . A component of chlorophyll, which stimulates photosynthesis and

potassium transport.

Sulphur . Essential for the formation and transport of proteins. Catalyze

also the production of chlorophyll and is useful for the finished product

it tastes good.

Micronutrients.

Iron . Necessary for the production of chlorophyll, proteins and carbohydrates.

Molybdenum . Promotes nutrient absorption and processes nitrates

(nitrogen) into amino acids.

Copper . Important for carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Strengthen them

cells.

Zinc . Forms growth hormones such as auxins and acts on production

of chlorophyll.

Manganese . Promotes cell division (mitosis) and improves the

plant metabolism.

Boron . Important for the formation of the cell wall. Also useful for

regulation of water flow.

Silicon . One of the fundamental components of the cell wall.

In Italy the cultivation of cannabis seeds is prohibited (Art. 28 and 73 of Presidential Decree 309/90) if you do not have a specific authorization (Art. 17 Presidential Decree 309/90)

Therefore, cannabis seeds may be used exclusively for collecting purposes and for genetic preservation and are marketed with the reservation that they are not used by third parties in conflict with the law. Cannabis seeds are excluded from Presidential Decree 309/90, which means that they are not to be considered narcotic substances (L. 412 of 1974, Art. 1, Paragraph 1, Letter B; New York single convention on narcotics of 1961 and table 1 Ministry of Health decree 11 April 2006).
