maryland Residential Weed Growing

With just two plants allowed per household, you'll want to make the most of your grow.

• Use a grow tent or repurpose a closet to create a clean, controlled environment
• Control light, temperature (70-85°F), and humidity (40-60%) for consistent results year round
• Bonus: It keeps your grow space secure, private, and compliant with state regulations

Space is often limited in home grows, so select cannabis strains that:

• Stay compact (Indica or hybrid varieties work well)
• Are suited to indoor cultivation
• Have short flowering times (8-10 weeks is ideal)

Consider auto-flowering strains for quicker, low-maintenance harvests.

Maryland's indoor growers rely on artificial lighting, especially during fall and winter.

• Use full-spectrum LED grow lights to mimic natural sunlight
• Set timers for 18 hours of light (veg) and 12 hours (flower) to promote healthy development
• Keep lights at the proper distance to avoid burning leaves or stunting growth

With a two plant limit, every inch counts. Maximize production by:

• Topping plants early to encourage multiple main colas
• Using LST (low-stress training) to shape your plant and open it up to more light
• Pruning lower growth that doesn't receive adequate light (aka lollipopping)

These simple methods can double your output without adding any plants.

Maryland's humidity can invite issues like powdery mildew, bud rot, and spider mites.

• Maintain airflow using oscillating fans and proper exhaust systems
• Keep relative humidity under control - especially during flowering
• Check plants regularly for pests and use organic IPM (Integrated Pest Management) solutions when needed

You must keep your grow:

• Locked or enclosed (especially if children or pets are in the home)
• Out of public view - no visible plants from windows, porches, or yards
• Clearly intended for personal use - never distribute or sell

Use tags, logs, and documentation for personal record-keeping and extra peace of mind.
