3 Proven Supplements to Help
Cannabis with Heat Stress
by Nebula Haze
|
High temperatures can make growing cannabis a lot harder, even if you’re growing with heat-resistant strains. Droopiness, nutrient deficiencies, and overall slow growth are common symptoms of heat stress, whether your plants are indoors or outdoors!
Actually…yes! There are 3 specific supplements that are known to help cannabis plants be more overall resistant to heat stress, drought, and high temperatures!
Help your marijuana plants be more resistant to heat stress, unlike this poor baby!

1.) Seaweed Kelp Extract
There are numerous studies showing that seaweed kelp extract is beneficial for heat-stressed plants when used as a supplement. Seaweed kelp extract (available as a liquid or powder) has been shown to increase yields, growth rates, and heat resistance in plants experiencing environmental stress.
Kelp naturally contains lots of trace elements and minerals that have
protective properties for plants. Studies have shown that supplementing with kelp can increase plant yields, growth rates, and heat/drought resistance for many species of plants.
Besides protecting against heat, kelp supplements may also enhance seed germination, increase uptake of plant nutrients, and give more overall resistance to frost and fungal diseases.
2.) Humic Acid Supplements
Humic acids are naturally found in the soil, but adding extra can be beneficial. Plant supplements for humic acid are usually derived from leonardite, a substance that is mined near the surface of lignite deposits (lignite is sedimentary rock that formed over millions of years from compressed peat). It is a waxy, brown substance.
Humic acids have protective abilities and can help cannabis plants deal with water stress and drought. Additionally, there is quite a bit of evidence (mostly with many different types of grass, but also with plants like soybeans and corn), that combining humic acid supplements with seaweed kelp extract actually increases the overall effectiveness of both supplements. They may have a synergistic relationship!
Not only do humic acid supplements help protect the plant against water stress, but they may also enhance the heat-resistance benefits of using sea kelp extract!
3.) Silica Supplements
Silica is not a “required” nutrient and your plant won’t suffer from Silica deficiencies. However, supplementing with extra silica offers additional support to plant cell walls. This helps your plants be more resistant to heat and other types of stress. This not only makes cannabis plants more resistant to heat, but it also helps prevent stems from bending or breaking when buds get big and heavy! Have you ever had your buds fall over from being too heavy? Silica can
help!
Whenever possible, try to get a silica supplement from the same manufacturer that makes your base nutrients to help ensure everything works well together.
Heat-Resistant Strains
Every strain is different. Some strains of marijuana are easily stressed by heat, while other strains would thrive in the exact same environment!
When it comes to strains that tend to be more resistant to heat stress…
- Sativa, Haze, African and Hawaiian strains all tend to be more heat-resistant since they originate from hot climates.
- In general, auto-flowering strains to be relatively sensitive to heat since they originated in Siberia, but some strains have been mixed with heat-resistant strains to make them more suitable for warmer climates.
- Many Indica plants, which also come from cool climates, can be surprisingly sensitive to the heat.

Subject: Green thumbs up!
I started growing my own ganja a year ago when I was diagnosed with epilepsy, my first grow was pretty pathetic but then I found Nebula and Sirius on grow weed easy the advantage was just what I needed to succeed in growing top-shelf medical stains, shoot I've even made my own seed with colloidal silver. Thanks for your labor of love! Peace.

A kind reader sent in this great pic after helping us fix some rather embarassing spelling mistakes on GrowWeedEasy.com. I have a nephew who is smaller than this plant he's holding...

Learn which seed sources are personally recommended by Nebula Haze |
Sirius Fourside:
Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
