British Columbia Marijuana Laws.
With changes to the laws regarding the possession and cultivation of cannabis and marijuana, many residents in British Columbia are considering growing their own plants for both medical and recreational use. Recent amendments now allow each household to grow up to a maximum of four plants, and possess 30 grams of dried marijuana in public.
Smoking marijuana in areas where smoking tobacco is permitted has also been legalized, except for areas close to children.British Columbia borders the American states of Washington, Montana, Idaho and Alaska. Southern parts of the Province have a warmer climate than the north, and although the Summer’s are still relatively short, it is possible to grow marijuana outdoors, by selection fast-flowering and mold resistant strains.

With a short growing season and the fast onset of Winter, growing traditional marijuana strains outdoors requires carefully planning and strain selection. Indica dominant strains are able to cope with colder night-time temperatures better than Sativa dominant strains, as well as having a shorter flowering cycle.
With all house-holds having the right to cultivate up to four marijuana plants for personal use, many residents are choosing to grow indoors, allowing them the opportunity to produce high quality marijuana all year round. Although the initial investment and running costs are more expensive than growing outdoors, the overall quality of the buds is usually higher, due to a greater level of environmental control.
Growing Marijuana Indoors in British Columbia.
If you decide to grow marijuana indoors indoors in British Columbia, certain pieces of equipment must be purchased. An appropriate growing light is necessary, producing the correct spectrum for growth. Different bulbs can be used to maximize both the growing and flowering stages of the plants development.
Air-flow is often overlooked by new growers, both circulation and replacement are needed for good growth. Without air intake, the plants will slowly reduce the level of CO2 available to them, while stale air needs to be removed to reduce the humidity levels.
With good quality nutrients and a little care and nurturing, growing your own marijuana plants indoors can be quick, easy and dramatically reduce the cost you pay per ounce, once the initial investment has been recovered. With greater environmental control, comes greater choice, with indoor growers able to choose from a much wider choice of strains, both Indica and Sativa based.
Yields are much easier to predict with indoor grown plants, and once you have a little experience, techniques such as Screen-of-Green, topping, bending and Super-cropping can all be employed to enhance the yields further. THC levels, aroma and flavour are often stronger and more defined with indoor grown marijuana, due to better temperature control and the ability to deliver an even 12/12 light-dark ratio throughout flowering and to complete maturity.

Growing Marijuana Outdoors in British Columbia, Canada.
Long Winters, a short season and low temperatures make growing marijuana outdoors in British Columbia a challenge, but not impossible. Residents in the southern parts of the province have a greater chance of producing a successful outdoor harvest than those in the north, but correct strain selection is essential to ensure your plants will be ready to harvest before the temperatures become too cold for the plants to mature, and bud rot begins to develop.
In general, most marijuana strains require approximately eight weeks to flower and completely mature. Certain strains are available that mature slightly quicker, around seven weeks in flower, but all the plants will require some time prior to flowering, to grow and develop once sprouted. On average, a marijuana plant requires at least 4 weeks in its vegetative stage, followed by a further 8 weeks to flower and mature.
As flowering doesn’t begin until the plant receives approximately 12 hours of pure, uninterrupted hours of darkness, the phase may continue through to early Fall, with cold temperatures and damp, moist air, reducing the plants ability to bud and mature, as well as increasing the risks of mold and bud rot developing, ruining the plants almost overnight.
