As more and more states legalize cannabis, whether for medical or recreational use, it's important to note that not every state that has passed legislation actually has retail stores available. This can leave some individuals considering the option of growing their own plants at home. For many, growing cannabis can be a fulfilling experience, and there's a sense of pride in being able to provide high-quality flower for themselves and their friends. But with so many strains available, which ones are best for at-home grows? Let's take a closer look.
First and foremost, it's crucial to understand that not all states that have legalized cannabis allow for home grows. It's important to know your state's specific regulations before attempting to grow your own weed. For instance, even though Alabama has legalized medical marijuana, possession is still considered a criminal offense. Once you've determined that growing cannabis is allowed in your state, here are five strains that are highly recommended for indoor growing.
Blue Dream is a popular sativa-dominant hybrid that happens to be an excellent choice for indoor growing. One of the main reasons for this is its fast grow time. In fact, many of the strains we'll be discussing today share this common trait. A shorter grow time means less time spent from setup to harvest, allowing for a quicker turnaround. With Blue Dream, the average harvest time is only about three months, or nine to 10 weeks. Additionally, this plant is known for its resilience, so even if you make some mistakes along the way, you're still likely to have a successful harvest.
Another strain with a fast flowering cycle is Blue Cheese, an indica-dominant hybrid. Some even claim that it has a distinct blue cheese flavor. With proper care, you can expect to harvest flowers from a Blue Cheese plant in less than two months, with an average of about 50 days. Like Blue Dream, this strain is also quite hardy and can handle higher levels of nitrogen without causing significant problems. Another bonus is that Blue Cheese is known to thrive under LED lights, which are more energy-efficient.
Next up is Northern Lights, which is perhaps one of the most legendary strains of all time and also happens to be one of the best for indoor growing. With a flowering period of only six to seven weeks, it's comparable to Blue Cheese in terms of speed. And once again, this strain is not too picky when it comes to feeding, making it difficult to mess up.
For those looking for a high yield, Gorilla Glue No. 4 is an excellent choice. This sativa-dominant strain has the potential to produce up to 21 ounces of flower from just one plant, with an average of about 17 ounces. It also has a relatively short flowering cycle of only two months. However, it's worth noting that this strain is known for being extremely sticky, which can make harvesting a bit more challenging.
Last but not least, Green Crack is a sativa-dominant strain with a flowering cycle of eight weeks. As the name suggests, it's a potent strain with a high yield potential. However, it's important to note that this strain is sensitive to powdery mildew, so it's best grown in a dry climate. And like the other strains mentioned, it's forgiving when it comes to feeding mistakes.
Whether you're someone who enjoys the DIY approach or you live in a state where purchasing cannabis is still not an option, these five strains are excellent choices for anyone looking to grow their own plants at home. With a bit of patience and proper care, you could be enjoying your very own cannabis harvest in just a few short months. Happy growing!
