Problems Growing Weed

Overwatering

This is a newbie grower’s kryptonite and generally one of the biggest problems growing weed. Whether you’re a newbie or a professional grower alike, you can benefit from some more knowledge about overwatering and how it works.

Theoretically, there’s no such thing as overwatering. Cannabis plants can’t get too much water – this is proven in hydroponic cannabis systems which permanently keep the roots submerged in water. So, if cannabis plants can grow in water, why are my plants growing so slowly (especially in the seedling stage)? The answer is simple – you’re most likely suffocating your plants.

Even though cannabis plants can survive living in water, like most living things on this planet, they need oxygen to survive. “But plant’s give off oxygen…don't they?” Yes, they do, but that’s taking place in the leaves. Cannabis, like other plants, takes in Carbon Dioxide and releases Oxygen; but the plants are also taking up oxygen and this takes place through their roots. Plant roots need oxygen and overwatering is a very easy way to remove all the oxygen in your grow medium. Oxygen dissolves in water, so by watering too much you aren’t killing your plants with too much water, you’re actually suffocating them because they can’t breathe. So how do we fix these problems growing weed – it’s simple, provide enough oxygen to the root zone.

If you’re wondering if your plants are overwatered, look at their leaves. The leaves will start to drop the longer the plant is starved of oxygen. You’re going to look for leaves that droop in the middle of the leaf and not at the base (by the stem). It looks like the tips of the leaves are too heavy and the leave starts to fold in the middle. This is the key difference between overwatering leaf droop and underwatering leaf droop (which we’ll discuss shortly).

How you provide more oxygen to the root zone
