Water Quality Guide
Water Quality Guide for Cannabis Growth
Water quality is essential in cannabis cultivation, impacting plant health, nutrient absorption, and overall yield quality. Here's why and how to manage it during each growth stage:
Why Water Quality is important
Nutrient Transport:
Clean water facilitates the efficient transport of nutrients to various parts of the plant, ensuring robust growth.
pH Balance:
Proper water pH is crucial for nutrient uptake. Imbalanced pH can lead to nutrient lockout, hindering plant development.
Root Health:
Quality water prevents harmful pathogens and promotes healthy root growth, crucial for overall plant vigor.
Salt and Mineral Content:
Excessive salts or minerals can build up and stress plants. Pure water prevents this, maintaining optimal growth conditions.
Disease Prevention:
Clean water reduces the risk of introducing contaminants that could lead to disease or pest infestations.
Water Quality Conditions per stage
During Germination
- Water Quality: Use distilled or filtered water, 20-22°C (68-72°F).
- Importance: Provides a pure environment for seeds to sprout without contaminants.
During Seedling Stage
- Water Quality: pH 6.0-6.5, low mineral content, 20-22°C (68-72°F).
- Importance: Supports delicate seedlings with balanced nutrients and hydration.
During Vegetative Stage
- Water Quality: pH 6.0-6.5, clean water, 20-22°C (68-72°F).
- Importance: Facilitates strong leaf and stem growth with optimal nutrient transport.
During Pre-flowering Stage
- Water Quality: pH 6.0-6.5, minimal salts, 20-22°C (68-72°F).
- Importance: Ensures smooth transition to flowering without nutrient issues.
During Flowering Stage
- Water Quality: pH 6.0-6.5, free from contaminants, 20-22°C (68-72°F).
- Importance: Maintains flower health and maximizes resin and terpene production.
By ensuring optimal water quality, growers promote healthy growth, maximize yields, and produce high-quality cannabis.
