When the lights are working, this works very well to counter-act the heat produced and cool the grow space to the ideal daytime temperature of 24-26✬ however, at night when the lights are switched off and it gets cold outside we can encounter problems as temperatures inside fall well below the comfortable night time level of 20-22✬. Possible problems can arise indoors during winter if the air intake to the grow room is drawing directly from the exterior. Modern indoor technology allows us to completely control all the parameters - the hours of light, the ventilation, temperature, humidity, etc, and create the perfect environment to grow cannabis throughout the year. When growing indoors, these ad verse environmental conditions are not such an issue, we can easily recreate the optimal atmospheric conditions needed for healthy plant growth within a small indoor garden, whether a grow tent or a small grow room. The plants native to these areas are known as Indica or WLD (Wide Leaf Drug) varieties and they are well equipped to deal with wide variations in climactic conditions affecting temperature, humidity and also the effect of the changing photoperiod on plant morphology and life cycle. As we move further away from the equator, to countries such as Pakistan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, India, Russia, China etc, weather conditions become more diverse, with clearly defined seasons and as a result, the period in which it is possible to cultivate cannabis is shortened according to latitude. In countries closer to the tropics where cold weather is rarely experienced, it’s possible to cultivate cannabis throughout the whole year, and the Sativa or NLD (Narrow Leaf Drug) varieties that are native to this tropical region are adapted to cope with a relatively stable climate without great variations in temperature or photoperiod. Across the different regions where these plants are found, there are significant environmental and geographical differences in altitude, latitude, temperatures, humidity, photoperiod, etc. As a result, we can find a great diversity of cannabis genetics worldwide. The cold and it's effect on flavour and colourĬannabis as a plant species grows wild in many places of our planet Earth.
