class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plants <\/span><b>flower or grow based on the photoperiod<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of light they receive. When planting cannabis in winter, one of the main challenges is that the crop will receive fewer hours of the light they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><b>trick the plants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is advisable to find a well-lit area where they can be placed during the day and then move them to a room with artificial light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s worth noting that in December, the days start to lengthen, which can lead to issues with the plants. When the<\/span><b> days become shorter, the plants will enter the flowering stage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while if they lengthen, they will continue to grow. Therefore, you can choose from three cultivation options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grow them<\/span><b> indoors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during September and half-way through October place them in a greenhouse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plant them later, meaning you\u2019ll need to trick your plants with the light period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Germinate them in a <\/span><b>greenhouse<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temperature\"><\/span>Temperature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important things to<\/span><b> keep in mind is that the temperature <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the roots can\u2019t go under 61\u00baF (16\u00baC) or they\u2019ll stop absorbing nutrients, causing your plant to stop growing, or even worse, dying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plant in a pot, it&#8217;s more likely to get cold at night, even though you can move it indoors when it gets dark. When cultivating directly in the ground, the roots can withstand frost better as the ground helps maintain temperature. You can also <\/span><b>germinate <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/224-cannabis-seeds\"><b>cannabis seeds<\/b><\/a><b>, <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/40-feminized-seeds\"><b>feminized seeds<\/b><\/a><b>, or any other type directly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> inside the greenhouse during that period<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Humidity\"><\/span>Humidity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter is colder and <\/span><b>typically more humid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so you&#8217;ll need to water less.

Consequently, the yields will be smaller. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s advisable to provide the plants with extra care and attention during the winter. Cannabis cultivation in winter can be done in two ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>In pots<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You can move them to protect them from the cold temperatures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Greenhouse cultivation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This involves planting in pots or directly in the ground, offering better control over both temperature and humidity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growing_cannabis_indoors\"><\/span>Growing cannabis indoors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you choose to cultivate <\/span><b>cannabis indoors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the winter, it should be done under sodium lamps. This method allows the plants to grow rapidly, providing a good yield in a shorter period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plants under these lamps behave differently, as even in winter, they receive the equivalent of August sun every day. With the<\/span><b> ideal climate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provided by these lamps, they will <\/span><b>produce dense and large flowers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This approach eliminates the need for air conditioning, which is typically necessary during the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To successfully grow cannabis indoors during the winter, maintain a temperature between <\/span><b>75-86\u00b0F (24-30\u00b0C) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during the day and<\/span><b> 64-72\u00b0F (18-22\u00b0C)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at night, keeping a small temperature difference. This difference can increase once the internodes form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To control humidity in the cultivation space, you can <\/span><b>use a <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/707-thermo-hygrometer\"><b>thermo hygrometer<\/b><\/a><b> or a digital thermostat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
