Creating the Ideal Growing Environment

Your cannabis plants need specific environmental conditions to thrive. This chapter covers everything you need to know about creating the optimal growing environment, with special considerations for Malta's unique climate.

Cannabis is sensitive to its environment. The right conditions make the difference between struggling plants and abundant harvests. In Malta's Mediterranean climate, managing heat and humidity is particularly important.

Why Environment Matters

Each aspect of your growing environment - light, temperature, humidity, airflow, and space - works together to create conditions where your plants can flourish. Think of your grow space as a carefully balanced ecosystem.
