Growing your own cannabis plants is possibly the most challenging yet the most rewarding form of horticulture that there is. Whether you start up an indoor grow or an outdoor grow, cannabis plants require a lot of time, patience and care from their grower. It is truly an art form to be able to grow your own high-quality cannabis. But with the right tools, anyone can become a Picasso of cannabis growing.

Once you have the basics down it’s time to learn about cannabis grow bags, why they are better for your cannabis plants and everything you need to consider when selecting the perfect grow bags for your cannabis seedlings.

DURABILITY

The first thing to consider is a grow bags material and that materials durability. Cannabis plants especially, thrive in grow bags made from a non-woven fabric. Because this type of fabric is extremely durable, it is able to withstand the stress caused by the large amount of soil it has to hold inside it. It will not rip or tear causing damage to your cannabis plant. Your plant and your plants root system are well-protected inside a non-woven fabric grow bag.

SIZE

The second thing to consider is the size of the grow bag that you are going to need. Cannabis plants differ in size at the various stages of their life cycle. This means that they will more than likely require different sized grow bags at these various stages.

Cannabis seedlings only require a 1 gallon (5 liter) grow bag. Whereas cannabis plants in their vegetative stage should be in a 2 to a 4 gallon grow bag (10 liter to 20 liter). While cannabis plants entering into their flowering stage will thrive in 11 to 12 gallon grow bags (55 liter to 60 liter).

BREATHABILITY

The third thing to consider is the breathability of the grow bag. This goes back to selecting a high quality non-woven material grow bag. This allows for proper air circulation which maintains the right moisture and humidity levels as well as temperature control inside the grow bag.

Proper air circulation inside the grow bag also allows for the air-pruning of a cannabis plants roots. Air-pruning is when the plants roots grow towards the edge of the bag it is met with air that dries out the root tips, directing them back inwards. This provides additional nutrients to the plant while preventing root-binding at the same time.

DRAINAGE

The fourth thing to consider is the grow bags drainage capabilities. Non-woven fabric grow bags allow for excellent drainage of excess water. This helps in cases of over-watering, protecting your roots from root rot.

PORTABILITY

The fifth and final thing to consider is the portability of your cannabis grow bags. Because growing cannabis, especially with outdoor grows, they are often moved around frequently. It is important to select a grow bag that has two sturdy handles that are strong enough to carry the weight of the plant and the soil inside the grow bag when transporting them around.
