9 Most Common Cannabis Diseases and How to Solve Them

Hemp plants are very resilient and can withstand adverse conditions for a certain period. However, when growing both indoors and outdoors, many problems can arise. Hemp growers, especially beginners, encounter pests and other issues during cultivation. In this article, we will try to explain the most common problems that can occur on the plant and advise you on how to deal with all possible related growing challenges.

Most Common Hemp Plant Problems

Below are the most common problems you may encounter when growing hemp plants, along with brief tips for prevention and correction of these issues.

Nutrition Problems

Insufficient or Excessive Watering

Insufficient and excessive watering are two most common problems for beginner growers, which can be easily corrected. When overwatering plants, you are essentially drowning them. Conversely, insufficient watering suffocates the plants. If you don't water hemp sufficiently, their leaves will start to fall and become droopy. If you water the plant too much, the leaves will curl because they are filled with water. Your plant will then appear lifeless and brittle.

Fortunately, these effects are easily reversible. If you water plants too little, you need to water more frequently and provide more water per watering. If they are too wet, it means you must water less often. The best way to determine when to water is to check soil dryness. Simply touch the top layer of soil. If it's dry, it's probably time to water the plants.

Eutrophication (Nutrient Excess)

Eutrophication or nutrient excess is essentially what happens to your plants if you fertilize too often with a mix containing many nutrients. Plant leaves will start to bend in the middle and harden. In worse cases, leaves will turn golden-brown and then dry out. If the plant shows signs of burn, stop giving nutrients for a week or two. In more severe cases, it is recommended to thoroughly flush the pot with water with adjusted pH.
