Our Best Strains For Hot And Humid Climates | Our Guide On Growing

Which are the best strains for hot and humid climates? If you are planning to grow cannabis and live in a region where it’s mostly moist and hot, you might be worried about this.

Climate is an essential factor you should consider before growing cannabis. The decision you make will guide you on whether you will use the outdoors or indoor method. And the fact is, different strains of cannabis thrive in different climatic conditions, thus challenges faced while growing will be different.

Well, in this article, we will highlight the best strains of cannabis favorable for hot and humid climates. However, before we do that, let’s first look at these two major atmosphere concerns.

 

Major atmosphere concerns for growing weed in hot areas

Humidity

Humidity concern is a major challenge faced, and if left unsolved, it may bring adverse effects to the overall plant. Excess moisture can lead to the growth of molds, fungus, pests, and diseases. Furthermore, excess water may obstruct the plant oxygen intake, cause drooping of leaves and yellowing of leaves. Well, you need to regulate the amount of moisture present for good plant health and great yields. The indoors method will be the best option since having low precipitation is easier to deal with than high humidity.

Light intensity

The cannabis plant thrives under different light conditions depending on the current stage of growth. Like, for vegetative it needs about 17-18 hours of light, and in the flowering stage, it requires 12/12 hours of light and darkness. Mostly in hot and humid regions have a longer time of light that adversely affects the plant during the flowering phase. The cannabis plant will need temperature monitoring. However, cannabis plants in these areas have adapted to auto-flowering during a certain period of maturity, making light not a determinant of flowering.
