We could have a lengthy discussion about cannabis genetics alone, but for the sake of this conversation, suffice it to say that genetics are an important consideration when <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/buy-marijuana-seeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">shopping for cannabis seeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome genetics are stronger than others. Crossbred strains, like indica and sativa hybrids, are typically weaker and more prone to pests, mold, and diseases, which makes them more challenging to grow. Original [landrace] strains tend to be stronger and more resilient, so they'll be easier to grow and cultivate,\u201d added Kingston Woods, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/gashouseog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Gas House Cannabis<\/a> and a master grower with more than 20 years of experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While solid genetics offer the best possible foot to start off on, remember that the success of your grow will depend on a whole lot of factors: light, air, nutrients, temperature, humidity, and so on. In other words, good genetics will not guarantee things like pest-resistance, high potency, or big yields, but they're an important part of achieving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_3565\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"28 grams of weed in an ounce\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption>Different cannabis strains offer different pros and cons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_3565\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CRTV-3983_January-Learn_Grams-Ounce.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"28 grams of weed in an ounce\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"easy-to-grow-strains-for-specific-needs-or-interests\">\n\tEasy to grow strains for specific needs or interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you're looking for an all-around, hardy cannabis strain, one that is known to provide high yields, potent buds, a fast turnaround, or plants that are suited to indoor versus outdoor growing, here are some easy-to-grow strains to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General hardiness: Blue Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoors or outdoors, <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/blue-cheese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Blue Cheese<\/a> is a forgiving strain that allows for beginner mistakes.

A cross between Auto Blueberry and Auto Mazar, Blue Auto Mazar boasts a seed-to-harvest cycle of just 75 days. While there are autoflower varieties that are even quicker than Blue Auto Mazar, this hardy indica-dominant strain has done well in a variety of environments \u2014 hot\/cold climates, outdoors, indoors, and in greenhouses \u2014 making it a great choice for novice growers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor grow environments: Northern Lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing that makes <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/northern-lights\" target=\"_blank\">Northern Lights<\/a> a good choice for indoor growing (aside from its solid and near-pure indica genetics) is the fact that it's well-known for being on the less odorous end of the spectrum, which can be a concern for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/growing-cannabis-indoors-intro\" target=\"_blank\">indoor grows<\/a>.

A keen eye for detail and a little love will go a long way on your journey to becoming a seasoned grower. Here are a few tips from cultivation masters to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be a good plant parent. <\/strong>\u201cThe best advice I ever got from a very talented grower is that 90% of successful growing is observation. Spend time with your plants daily, get to know them. You will soon learn to recognize subtle changes that can indicate problems with pests, feed, or water. You will also begin to see the amazing differences between all the different genetics and what they can produce,\u201d advised Sara Rotman, a veteran grower and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/wellfounded.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Wellfounded Botanicals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep a grow journal. <\/strong>Tracking your experience and the details of your plants' growth cycle is a must for serious growers. You can employ one of many ready-made cannabis grow journals out there or just grab a regular notebook and start documenting your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make lemons into lemonade. <\/strong>According to Adrixn Catao of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/queercannawitch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Queer Canna Witch<\/a>, \u201cIf you can't smoke them, eat them. With all the variables at play, sometimes your crop is compromised and falls short of top-shelf smoke.\u201d As long as it isn't contaminated with mold, mildew, or chemicals, flower with under-ripe trichomes or a bad cure can still be used for making homemade edibles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"bottom-line\">\n\tBottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest cannabis strains to grow for you may not be the easiest strains to grow for someone else. If you're a beginner grower, consider how much time you have to spend maintaining a plant, what your strengths and weaknesses are as a plant parent, and your ultimate goal for the harvested flower. Most importantly, have fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you're new to growing cannabis, you might be feeling overwhelmed with all there is to know.
