Mulch soil best choice for the cannabis plant
Mulching involves covering the soil with a material layer in an outdoor plot. In topdressing containers, you place the mulch on top of potting media. Mulching is a valuable practice because it conserves moisture, helps to prevent weed seeds from germinating, and controls some pests and diseases.
The best mulch for outdoor cannabis culture is made from clean, nutrient-poor organic material such as sustainably harvested shredded tree bark, coconut husks, nut shells, pine needles, straw, or shredded newspaper or cardboard. These materials decompose over time, release nutrients slowly, and fertilize your soil as they decompose. You’ll need to replenish the mulch periodically.
Never use compost as mulch. Compost is rich in nutrients and makes a perfect germination medium for weed seeds.
The organic mulching materials we’ve mentioned can also be used as topdressing in containers. However, growers with a few plants in their homes may prefer more attractive, nonorganic mulch such as gravel, sand, or decorative stone. None of these materials decomposes, but they perform all the other functions of good mulch.
