The specific and detailed requirements of each plant are different, but as long as the above conditions are met, basically any plant can be made to bloom and bear fruit. The task of the grower is to give the plants the growth conditions they need, neither too much nor too little.

What are the environmental conditions required for seed transplantation?
After the seed germinates 1 to 2 cm, we will transplant the seed to a suitable environment so that she can continue to grow. The essential elements of this environment are: sufficient regular light, sufficient oxygen and carbon dioxide, relatively clean, free of harmful bacteria, a large number of elements required by plants, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and the major element calcium ( Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), trace elements iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), chlorine (Cl), Sodium (Na), nickel (Ni).

What are the cultivation methods of hemp?
The current mainstream cultivation methods include natural cultivation, soil cultivation, hydro cultivation, and aerosol cultivation. Natural cultivation means farming, ploughing in spring and harvesting in autumn. Soil cultivation is to use a flower pot to fill some soil to grow plants. Hydroponics is to plant the roots of plants in nutrient solution. Aerosol cultivation is to let the roots of plants be completely exposed in a closed space, and regularly spray vaporized nutrient solution to grow plants. From natural cultivation to aerosol cultivation, the yield and growth rate of plants gradually increase, but the content of active substances gradually decreases. Simply put, the watermelon grown in the ground is sweet, and the watermelon grown in the greenhouse is big. These cultivation methods have the same place, and some places are very different.
What kind of soil and flower pots are needed for hemp soil cultivation?
Today we will focus on the requirements for soil and flower pots in soil cultivation.
Both soil cultivation and hydroponic cultivation require flower pots, and the requirements for flower pots are different. We can roughly see the following types of flower pots cultivated on the market:
- Flower pots without any holes. This kind of flower pot is very good material, paint bucket, water bucket, basin can be used as. The air permeability of this kind of flowerpot is very poor, too much watering can easily lead to root rot. But this kind of flowerpot also has advantages, such as easy to obtain materials, cheap and durable, and convenient for transportation. Many veteran planters choose this kind of flower pot, because the closed flower pot can prevent too much running water from bringing out the nutrients in the soil. It is not recommended for novices.
- Flower pots with holes at the bottom. This kind of flowerpot is similar to the previous one, but the hole at the bottom can not only give the flowerpot a certain degree of air permeability, but also allow excessive moisture to drain and prevent root rot. Be sure to use it with the bottom support to prevent dirty water everywhere. This kind of flowerpot is also the most used flowerpot.
- Non-woven flower pots. This kind of flowerpot is made into a semi-closed flowerpot with cloth directly pressed out by the machine, with no holes in the bottom. There are many advantages. It can be folded for storage, has excellent air permeability, is cheap, and is non-polluting. The main disadvantage is that frequent handling may cause the basin to rupture and scatter the soil. If the soil is too poor, it may cause water to overflow from the half. The use of this kind of flowerpot must be equipped with good soil, as little as possible, and pay attention to control the amount of watering.
Next is the choice of soil, which can be roughly divided into three categories:
- Sandy soil, or sandy soil. There are a lot of sand and clods in the soil, and there are many gaps in the middle. There can be a lot of air inside this kind of soil, and the drainage is too good, and the water cannot stay in the soil. Not suitable for planting.
- Clay, namely clay soil. This kind of soil is very dense, has excellent water absorption and water retention, and is the main material for making ceramics. After being wet, the air permeability is too poor and it is not suitable for planting.
- Loam, this kind of soil can probably be understood as a mixture of the above two soils. It has good water retention and air permeability, and contains nutrients needed by plants. If we go to the flower market to buy soil, it is basically this kind of soil. Some additives such as perlite and rotting roots will also be added to increase the air permeability of the soil.
For novices, it is still recommended to buy the soil directly, and try to buy loam with packaging and instructions. It should be noted that the loam mixed by many businesses may contain unfavorable factors such as eggs of small flying insects, seeds of other plants, bacteria and fungi that harm plants. Once you bring this soil back, it may contaminate your other soil. Another thing to note is that after buying a new flowerpot, it must be cleaned and disinfected to prevent impurities from polluting the soil. Be cautious and maintain a tidy and clean planting environment is an important factor for success.
After the flowerpot and soil have been prepared, we can transplant the germinated seeds into the flowerpot. Dig a small hole with a depth of 2 cm to 3 cm and a width of 0.5 cm in the soil surface, and then use clean hands or disposable chopsticks to place the seeds with the big end up and the sprouts down. Then cover the soil lightly, and then water slowly so that the soil has a faint light. Wait 1 to 2 days, the plant will stick out its head.
The content of various elements in different soils is also different, which will be explained in the next chapter.
