Temperature Guide for Cannabis Growth
Temperature plays a crucial role in cannabis cultivation for several reasons, including metabolism, growth rate, nutrient uptake, resin production, and disease prevention. Here's why and how to manage it during each growth stage:
Why Temperature is important
Metabolic Rate:
Optimal temperatures accelerate metabolism, enabling efficient photosynthesis and respiration. This leads to faster growth and energy production.
Enzyme Activity:
Enzymes that control biochemical reactions work best at certain temperature ranges. Proper temperatures ensure these enzymes function optimally, enhancing growth and development.
Nutrient Uptake:
Warm temperatures enhance the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients through the roots, supporting vigorous growth and robust health.
Transpiration:
Temperature influences transpiration, the process where plants release water vapor through leaves. This helps with nutrient transport and cooling the plant.
Resin and Terpene Production:
Cooler temperatures during flowering can increase resin and terpene production, which are responsible for potency and aroma.
Stress Response:
Extreme temperatures can trigger stress responses, such as slowed growth or increased susceptibility to pests and disease. Maintaining optimal range minimizes stress and supports resilience.
Temperature Conditions per stage
During Germination
- Ideal Temperature: 21-27°C (70-80°F).
- Importance: Consistent warmth encourages seeds to sprout effectively.
During Seedling Stage
- Ideal Temperature: 21-29°C (70-85°F).
- Importance: Supports quick growth and root development.
During Vegetative Stage
- Ideal Temperature: 21-29°C (70-85°F) during the day, slight drop at night.
- Importance: Promotes robust leaf and stem growth.
During Pre-flowering Stage
- Ideal Temperature: 20-26°C (68-78°F).
- Importance: Helps plants transition smoothly to blooming, minimizing stress.
During Flowering Stage
- Ideal Temperature: 18-26°C (65-80°F).
- Importance: Cooler temps enhance resin and terpene production, boosting potency and aroma.
During Drying and Curing Stage
- Ideal Temperature: 18-24°C (65-75°F).
- Importance: Ensures gradual moisture loss, preserving flavor and potency.
By keeping the right temperatures, growers ensure vigorous growth, maximum yields, and high-quality cannabis.
