Alberta Marijuana Laws.

Alberta is one of two land-locked Canadian Provinces, and, with an estimated population of just over four million people, is Canada’s fourth most populated region. Changes regarding the possession and cultivation of marijuana and cannabis now allow all house-holds to grow a maximum of four plants, and possess up to 30 grams of dried buds in public, legally, and without fear of prosecution.

These changes have made Canada much more tolerant of marijuana use, for recreational or medicinal purposes, allowing all its residents the right to legally grow their own marijuana either indoors, or outside. Many new growers are searching for the right seeds and trusted information on growing methods and techniques, here is a short summary of the best marijuana seeds to grow in Alberta, Canada.

Growing Marijuana Seeds in Alberta, Canada.

If you are one of the many people now considering growing marijuana in Alberta, your first decision will be whether to grow indoors or outside. Whichever method you decide is best for you, the laws permit a maximum of four plants to be cultivated at any one-time.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both indoor and outdoor growing methods, although it’s generally agreed that ‘well-grown’ indoor marijuana is usually of a higher quality than similar plants cultivated outdoors.

However, before you can begin growing marijuana indoors in Alberta, some equipment will need to be purchased, such as lights, fans and ventilation units, making the initial outlay far greater than for those people who choose to grow outdoors.


Growing Marijuana Indoors in Alberta

If you smoke or use marijuana on a regular basis, then growing indoors may be the best option for you. Although some initial outlay is required to set-up a growing room or indoor area, the constant harvesting of fresh, high quality buds over a year can easily recoup the investment and running costs.

Indoor growing rooms can be as simple or as complex as you wish to make them, ranging from a simple correct spectrum light, fan and extractor, through to dehumidifiers, temperature control and light spectrum analysis. In general, the greater control the grower has over the climate and environment, the higher the quality of marijuana buds produced.

Growing marijuana indoors in Alberta allows for a greater number of strains to be tried and sampled. With such a short outdoor growing season, and only four plants legally permitted, outdoor growers tend to focus on tried and tested strains, rather than experiment with some of the new hybrids being introduced into the market.

Growing Marijuana Outdoors In Alberta.

Growing marijuana outdoors in Alberta, Canada requires careful strain selection, ensuring the seeds you plant have the necessary time to grow, flower and mature before the onset of Winter. Conventional marijuana seeds require approximately 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness per night to flower and mature. Indoor growers can just set their lights to a standard 12/12 on-off routine, while outdoor growers have to rely on nature, and the natural daily reducing in sunlight hours later in the growing season.

With most outdoor strains requiring at least eight weeks to completely mature, night-time temperatures during the later part of flowering can drop considerably. Cold, damp air produces prime conditions for bud-rot and mold to develop, which can destroy your buds and plants in a matter of days. If you choose to grow marijuana seeds outside in Alberta, choose feminized strains that are fast-flowering and quick to mature. Indica dominant strains are often the preferred choice, with many having a natural resilience to mold.

A popular alternative for outdoor growers are Autoflowering seeds. Unlike traditional feminized marijuana seeds, these strains require no set hours of darkness, and flower almost most sprouting. Maturity is achieved trough age, rather than hours of darkness, with autoflowering seeds able to grow and flower simultaneously over an average of eight weeks, depending upon the strain. Planted at the start of Spring, autoflowering seeds are ready to harvest just eight weeks later, often giving growers the opportunity to harvest multiple crops per year.

Requiring just eight weeks to grow, flower and mature, autoflowering plants are smaller than the average traditional plant, but are far easier to grow and more likely to reach complete maturity in colder conditions. THC levels vary between strains, as does the flavour and aroma, with many popular strains available as autoflowering seeds. For those people that wish to grow a few outdoor marijuana plants during the Spring and Summer months, feminized autoflowering seeds are the perfect option.
