Growing Snoop Dogg OG in Colder Climates

While cold climates present a real challenge for growing Snoop Dogg, you still have ways to ensure the climate does not stress your plants.

Keeping Temperatures Warm for Healthy Growth

What are your options for those living in colder climates? You can either go for an indoor setup where the climate is controlled. You can also use the tips below to keep your plants happy.

Greenhouses are known for their optimized heat retention. The greenhouse material traps any warmth inside while protecting the plants from dipping temperatures.

Black pots can help to keep the roots warm. The darker colors absorb heat faster to warm the growing medium and roots better. You will need to cover them during extremely low temperatures to avoid rapid temperature losses.

Preventing Cold Stress and Slowed Growth

Prolonged exposure to low temperatures slows down the plants’ metabolic processes. This will in turn lead to poor health and stunted growth. But as they say, prevention is better than cure; here are proven ways to avoid cold stress altogether.

• Keeping your plants warm can be as simple as choosing the sunniest spot for your outdoor plants. The heat from direct sunlight adds some temperature stability even in colder climates.
• If the weather forecast expects frost, a breathable fabric cover over your plants can prevent frostbite.
• Applying a mulch at the base of your plants insulates their roots from the harshness of cold weather. Row covers and cold frames can also offer additional protection.
• Indoor growers need to constantly monitor the temperatures in the grow room. A preferred minimum temperature average for this plant is around 70°F (21°C). 

Timing the Grow for the Best Seasonal Conditions

You can prevent all the hard work that comes with growing in the cold by planting and harvesting early before winter sets in. Ideally, you can start your plants indoors during late winter or early spring. This gives the plants a head start before transplanting them outdoors.

For those growing in outdoor soil, transplanting late into spring ensures that the soil is warm enough to handle the plants. This is key in a healthy root development.

Luckily, Snoop Dogg finishes blooming relatively fast. This helps protect delicate trichomes from damage, mold issues, and even slow ripening due to exposure to frost.
