Growing cannabis is daunting, especially for a beginner. The thought of wasting a good batch of seeds or accidentally killing a field of marijuana are enough to stop a person from even trying. Beyond those worries, however, is the possibility of a successful of cultivating a favorite strain from the comfort of home. The only requirement of which is to start – and it can begin with a single plant.
There are several reasons why cultivating just one plant is highly beneficial. First, we can focus all our efforts with only one plant which makes it grow even healthier. Of course, this guarantees a satisfying harvest that we might not be able to get if we have more than one marijuana plant.
Second, security is better since no police officer will harass anyone over just one plant. Even on their slowest day, the authorities will not raid someone with just a single plant. Additionally, hiding one potted marijuana is easy which reduces the chance of anyone noticing it.
Another advantage is the cheap cost of growing only one plant. Compared to growing many at once, having just a single plant requires the bare minimum when it comes to seeds, nutrients, water, lighting 150w cmh grow light , and soil. Hence, it’s the perfect way to start growing marijuana without having to worry about spending a lot of time and money.
So, in this article, we will learn all the basics on how to get started in growing a single plant. While there are many skills that we must master, the purpose of this article is to show how easy the steps are. So, let’s get our green thumbs ready and start having fun.
Set Up the Grow Room
Now that we have decided to grow one solitary plant, it’s time to set up the grow room. For best results, install all the items listed below as they are necessary for a healthy and rapid grow.
ven with a nice window that allows lots of sunlight, the plant will still need the help of a grow lamp. As mentioned, it is a vital element in the grow room. So, don’t hesitate to spend on one that is designed specifically for growing plants.
Luckily, a good grow light full specturm led grow light doesn’t have to be expensive especially when growing just one plant. For example, a 250-watt HPS (high-pressure sodium) or MH (metal halide) is available in hardware stores for as little as $25.
Alternatively, we can also use a fluorescent bulb as supplement if we have a window with good light for a good number of hours a day. Overall, when it comes to grow lamps, keep in mind that the more intense the light, the better the plant will develop.
Temperature

As a rule of thumb, marijuana feels comfortable in temperatures that are pleasant for humans. It is highly unlikely that ambient temperature will be so high or so low as to cause you problems. However, grow lights are a source of heat and should be monitored.
As long as you use a LED grow light quantum board 125w and a fan, the temperature shouldn’t pose a problem. These issues are much more important in larger gardens.
Get Some Grow Light

As we’ve already said, the sweetest part of growing just one marijuana plant is the savings. Forget fancy lighting units and expensive setups: A simple full spectrum LED lamp samsung 301b strip will do the trick.
Even if your plant is exposed to sunlight, you should use artificial lighting. I know from bitter experience that marijuana grown on the windowsill will grow, but will never bloom! So, ensure that your plant will get at least 48W of full-spectrum light. These units are dirt cheap on Amazon and will last for years.
If you opt for natural sunlight, and you aren’t using autoflowers, you’ll need to ensure that your plants receive at least 18 hours of sunlight during the vegetative stage of their growth. Unfortunately, unless you are growing during the correct season and in the right area, this may not be obtainable without supplemental lighting. In other words, even if you are growing outdoors, investing in an  samsung 301h led grow light  for those cloudy and or ‘short’ days is a good idea.  
There are, of course, other cannabis lighting options, but for a single plant, they will be much more than necessary. However, it is still a good idea to research your options so that you can make an informed decision based on your need.
Germinate Your Seeds
This step only applies if you are growing from seed. There are plenty of ways to germinate a seed, but a premade seed germination kit is the easiest option. To use it, you only need to moisten the medium, insert the seeds, and water as needed. Once your seed sprouts, you can place the entire medium into your pot for easy transplanting.
