How to care

Cannabis sativa is a versatile plant often grown for its fibers, seeds, and medicinal properties. It thrives in well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Ensure it receives ample sunlight, ideally 12-18 hours of light per day during the vegetative stage. Maintain a temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C) and humidity levels between 40-70%.
