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.
In this chapter, we'll explore each environmental factor in detail, explaining how to optimize it for both indoor apartment growing and outdoor balcony growing in Malta's climate. For a full overview of the plant's life cycle, see the Cannabis Growth Timeline. If you need help diagnosing plant issues, try our Plant Diagnosis Tool.
