How time intensive is growing cannabis outdoors? I want to know if I can legitimately pull this off this season. Thank you!
Growing cannabis outdoors is certainly less time intensive than growing indoors for several reasons:
- The grow does not need to be monitored every day like you do with an indoor grow.
- You don’t have to fuss with the water like you do indoors.
- Ditto the nutrients.
- Mother Nature takes care of the lighting.
Now you will have to plan your outdoor grow to coincide with the seasons (indoors you can start a grow anytime). But once your outdoor cannabis garden is going, it will take less overall maintenance.
If you plan on taking a lng summer vacation, that could be an issue. You can leave the garden easily for five days or more, but you won’t want to leave it for weeks on end. Unless you have a trusted friend who will water it for you.
If you do plan to be away for several days, just make sure to water well and saturate the ground before leaving.
One factor that Mitch neglected to mention in the video is pests. You will want to monitor your garden for pests, as in my mind, that is one of the most difficult parts of growing cannabis outdoors. An infestation can wipe out all your hard work in a day or two. So if you do plan to go away for a while, I would also train my watering person how to check for aphids and other garden predators.
