The best mold resistant strains for humid environments!
Buy Mold Resistant Strain Seeds
Cannabis can survive many things, but mold isn't one of them. Reduce your risk of losing your harvest to bud rot by growing mold resistant strains.
While rain is good for marijuana plants, too much of it is not. When plenty of rain isn't combined with plenty of sunlight, it is a recipe for disaster. Cold temperatures after heavy rains can lead to mold.
Mold spores grow quickly in cold, wet conditions. Once they've made a home on your marijuana plant, there is very little that you can do. Unlike powdery mildew, you can't simply wash away the damage. Mold spores travel with the breeze and can ruin your plants in as little as a week.
The only way to fight grey mold on marijuana plants is to prevent it. The easiest way to avoid mold is by growing in a controlled environment. However, if you plan to grow outdoors, you should consider growing Cannabis that is resistant to mold.
Protecting Marijuana Strains from Mold
The Cannabis species is an expert at adapting to its environment. Because of this, some strains are naturally better at resisting mold than others. In general, indica plants are more likely to develop mold due to their compact nature and dense buds. However, some indica dominant strains developed less dense buds, and are, therefore, more resistant to mold.
Other marijuana strains are considered mold-resistant when trimmed. This means these strains are hearty enough to withstand advanced growing techniques, such as lollipopping and low-stress training. These pruning techniques reduce the chance of mold by increasing airflow and light exposure.
How to Prevent Mold on Cannabis Plants
Mold is possibly the worst thing that could happen to your plants. Here are five ways to avoid it.
- Grow indoors and monitor your humidity levels
- If growing outdoors, grow in pots so you can move your plants indoors at night
- Prune your plants to encourage thorough light exposure
- Use mold prevention products such as Mold Control
- Grow mold resistant strains
Whether you grow indoors or outdoors, you should protect your marijuana plants from mold. If you must grow outdoors, here are some of the best strains to try.
