How to Grow a Pot Plant with the Jungle Trait

Many marijuana enthusiasts are now interested in cultivating plants with unique traits, one of which is the jungle trait. This trait produces lush, tropical-looking plants that can grow up to six feet tall. If you want to grow your own pot plant with the jungle trait, this guide will provide you with the steps you need to follow.

Step 1: Choose the Right Strain

The jungle trait is more common in sativa strains, so it's best to choose a sativa-dominant hybrid that has the potential to grow tall and bushy. Some popular strains with the jungle trait include Durban Poison, Maui Wowie, and Thai.

Step 2: Provide the Right Environment

Jungle trait plants require warm and humid environments, much like the tropical rainforests they resemble. You will need to provide a temperature of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 70 degrees Fahrenheit at night, and humidity levels of 60-70%. A humidifier can be used to maintain the humidity between the optimal range.

Step 3: Use the Right Nutrients

Jungle trait plants require a lot of nutrients to sustain their massive growth. Use a high-quality soil or grow medium and add organic nutrients specifically formulated for cannabis plants. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the essential nutrients that your plant needs during different stages of its growth.

Step 4: Train the Plant

Jungle trait plants can grow tall and bushy, which can create problems when growing indoors. Training the plant includes topping or pinching off the top of the plant, and bending the branches to encourage lower bud development. This will help keep the plant under control and encourage more even development of the plant.

Step 5: Control the Light Cycle

The jungle trait plants require 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light during their flowering stage. This means you will need to set up a light cycle using either HID, LED, or CMH lighting systems. Make sure to choose a light that provides enough power to reach every part of the plant, and make adjustments to the light cycle according to the specific strain's requirements.

Step 6: Harvest and Cure the Buds

Once your plant has flowered, it's time to harvest the buds. Cut the buds off the plant and trim away any excess leaves or stems. Then, dry the buds slowly in a cool and dark place with low humidity. After drying, cure the buds in a sealed container for two to four weeks to preserve the flavor and potency of the cannabis.

By following these steps, you can grow your own pot plant with the jungle trait. Remember to choose a sativa-dominant hybrid, provide a warm and humid environment, use the right nutrients, train the plant, control the light cycle, and harvest and cure the buds. Growing cannabis with the jungle trait requires a little more effort, but the reward of lush, tropical-looking plants with large buds is worth it.
