Growing CANNABIS Indoors: Top Tips

Our Top Tips for Growing Cannabis Plants Indoors

There are two approaches you can take to growing cannabis from seed.

There’s the hit-and-hope method where you can arm yourself with the minimum amount of information and hope for the best.

Then there is what we call the Chelsea Flower Show approach, where you aim, from the very get go, to produce the very best plants possible, using every known trick in the book.

If we created a video for the latter approach, not only would you still be here watching it this time next year, but we’d also have gone bankrupt with the cost of producing it.

There’s so much to know about cannabis plants and how to grow them you could create a university degree course about it all.

So, what we decided to do was create a short video focusing on what we believe to be the most helpful tips on growing cannabis indoors, and these can act as a jumping off point for those of you who want to do more research but are not sure what you should be researching.

Lets begin with lighting:

While many amateur and experienced growers alike turn to LED lights to help their plants grow, know that not all LED lights are the same. Cannabis grows best under a specific light spectrum, so buy purpose-made LED lights from proven manufacturers for cannabis. LED lights are great for keeping heat and running costs to a minimum!

The next tip is to choose the right time to switch to a 12-hour light cycle to encourage flowering and budding – do this when the plant reaches half the height you want your final plant to reach.

Force extra bud sites instead of just growing one main bud. You can do this by either low-stress training, or topping. Check out our previous videos for more on that!

With your buds, try and create what is called a table – in other words, try and get all your buds to grow at the same distance from the light source at a sweet spot distance so they all grow to their maximum potential.

Supercropping is a great way to maximise yield and also to create a table-top effect by bending branches to ninety degrees, but not breaking them in half as you do so!

Remove male plants as early as you can spot them. While male plants are lousy for cannabis production, the pollen from them causes buds to start seeding, so unless you want seeds, get rid of them!

Don’t harvest your buds too early. They will increase substantially in size two or three weeks before harvest. Be patient!!!

Get yourself some good garden tools like rope ratchets, plant yo-yos, zip ties, twist ties, a thermometer and hygrometer with a probe or remote sensor.

Temperature and humidity are crucial for indoor plant growth, so make sure you get this right throughout all stages of the growth cycle, and remember if you create the perfect environment, you’re 75% of the way to growing perfect cannabis!

You could also do with getting a garden gnome. While this won’t directly help your plants grow, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with them, and you’ll need someone to talk to as talking to plants is just plain daft!

Last, but not least, it’s vital you learn how to deal with problems, as the less you know at the onset, the greater the chances things will go wrong.

Make sure you check your plants religiously – by that we don’t just mean on Sundays – and learn to both spot potential problems and how to deal with them before a small problem becomes a catastrophe.

By all means share any of your own tried-and-tested tips in the comments section below, there are always new things to learn and sharing information is really appreciated by everyone.

    Use kryptonite cannabis soil. Designed so you don’t have to feed them ever.

    Honestly these are the top tips for growing indoors from Cannabis Experts? Pretty sure making sure your Environment is perfect would be my top tip. This was such a basic and dumbed down video

    Would dry ice help help the plant?

    Have you made a video on when and how to determine the sex of cannabis plants yet? I always thought you could only do it when they flower, but I’ve recently been told that you can sometimes see "pre-flowers" during veg and identify whether they’re male or female early. Any truth to this?

  11. @kusu3353 on February 6, 2025 at 4:52 am

    Could you make video about difference between auto cannabis and photoperiod?

  12. @DujaMantra on February 6, 2025 at 4:53 am

    Thank you. I successfully grew 15 female plants. Used cow dung and urine. I also used deleted curd after removing the fats. I even used my own urine often. It was out doors, thus in my absence, just before harvesting, someone took away all of them.😢

    there is a university and college course for growing weed it is called horticulture … Willow is a natural rooting compound … use new growth trimmed off a tree and soak it it warm water and water with that water to promote roots … mulch your weed trimmings INTO your water to return some nutrients back to the plants …dry out the old trimmings and add to your repotting soil mix to act as compost and ready made nutrients and minerals that the plant can use again … also adding in lobster shells or fish bones or shrimp shells when dry also adds calcium to your soil .. wood ash ( fire place camp fire etc) lowers acidity naturally .. topping from 3rd 5th 7th 9th and sometimes 11th growth sections will dramatically increase yield low stress option just enough to allow light down the middle of the plant .. easy way if you see lots of shadow down low open a little more .. always clear the base leaves as they are just taking up nutrients to sit there and die off … high CO2 environments reduce bugs and increase plant growth also rotate your plants in a grow tent makes them hardier because they adjust to the change in light angle and grow much more evenly and fuller overall … this also works on tomotoes and any other fruiting bush avoid man made chemicals as they dont say what the filler is in them … all natural all the time and you get what you put into it … get bugs on the leaves .. soap wort and water will remove them … basic hand soap ( good use of slivers of soap for) in a jug of water or spray bottle will remove mites and stop harmful bugs …

  15. @illwillcherry2870 on February 6, 2025 at 4:57 am

    I cleaned my seeds with regular water and germinated them in a sugar water mix with really light sugar they popped and were ready to plant in 2 days

  16. @igalalishaevT-rex on February 6, 2025 at 4:58 am

    Can you do video about nutrients

  17. @natalietsai418 on February 6, 2025 at 5:08 am
