Growing cannabis, whether indoors or outdoors, requires knowledge not only about the plants themselves, but also about the right accessories. Whether you are an experienced grower or just starting out, having the right equipment from germination to harvest plays a crucial role. In this article we will look at the essential accessories for growing cannabis.
These cannabis cultivation accessories are essential for indoor and outdoor use
By choosing the right supplies and paying close attention to your plants' needs, you can achieve a bountiful yield of high-quality cannabis. This cannabis cultivation accessory is a must-have for everyone:
Every cultivation needs seeds or cuttings
The first step in growing cannabis is obtaining seeds or cuttings. These can be purchased online from other EU countries or in cannabis social clubs and associations.
You can also get cuttings yourself from existing plants by cutting off branches and allowing them to form roots. Please note that you are only allowed to keep three cannabis plants at a time. Choosing the right variety is crucial and depends on factors such as available space, climate and personal preference.
A suitable pot for the plant
Choosing the right container for your cannabis plants can make a big difference. The pot should be large enough to provide enough space for the root system while allowing good drainage. Pots made from fabric material are particularly popular because they promote good air circulation around the roots and prevent overwatering. Experienced growers start with nursery pots.
The right soil for the cannabis plant
The quality of the soil in which the cannabis plants grow plays a crucial role in the yield and health of your plant. Many cannabis growers swear by special cannabis soil that is already enriched with the right nutrients to create optimal conditions for growth.
Fertilizer is essential for a good harvest
To promote growth, cannabis plants require additional nutrients that are not always present in sufficient quantities in the soil. That is why the use of organic fertilizers is essential throughout the entire growth cycle. Phosphorus and potassium as well as nitrogen are particularly important. Here you can find out everything about fertilizing during the individual cultivation phases and which fertilizer you should use and when!
Measuring device for the THC content in weed
For serious growers who want to maximize the quality of their crop, a cannabis THC level meter is important. These devices make it possible to accurately determine the THC content in the buds during the flowering period, which helps determine the ideal time for harvesting.
This is what growers need when growing cannabis indoors
There are other growing accessories needed for growing cannabis indoors:
Grow box / grow tent with fan
A grow box or grow tent is an enclosed environment specifically designed for growing cannabis indoors. It makes it possible to precisely control environmental conditions such as light, temperature and humidity. Ventilation with a fan is important - this ensures good air circulation and protects the plants from mold and other diseases. These accessories for cannabis cultivation are often available as a starter set.
Important accessories for growing cannabis: LED lighting
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of growing cannabis indoors. LED bulbs are particularly popular because they are energy efficient and provide the full spectrum of light that plants need during different stages of growth. Cannabis plants require different amounts of light during different stages of their growth to thrive optimally. You can find instructions for this here.

Cannabis is a plant that can adapt well to different environments. In Germany there are enough daylight hours, especially in spring and summer, to grow cannabis outdoors. During the growth phase in spring and summer, the plants naturally receive enough light to thrive. In late summer and fall, as the days become shorter and natural light decreases, flowers develop as plants move into the flowering phase.
