Outdoor cuttings – proven genetics for outdoor cultivation
Would you like to grow cannabis plants outdoors and are looking for a safe, uncomplicated option – without any germination or early cultivation? Then outdoor cuttings are an ideal choice! These outdoor cuttings are particularly suitable for beginners, but also for experienced growers who are looking for reliable, pre-grown plants with stable genetics.
What are cannabis cuttings?
Cuttings are genetically identical offshoots of an already selected mother plant. A healthy shoot is cut from the mother and rooted – this creates a new plant with exactly the same characteristics as the original.
For you, this means:
You know exactly how the plant will develop – e.g. how big it will grow, when it will flower, what aroma it will develop and how high its yield will be. You get a pre-grown young plant that does not need to germinate and usually already has a strong root system. This means you can start growing outdoors straight away – without a cultivation phase and with minimal effort.
What does “photoperiodic” mean for outdoor cuttings?
Most cannabis cuttings – just like seed plants – are photoperiodic. This means:
Their flowering phase depends on the length of daylight. As long as the days are long (spring/summer), they grow tall. Only when the daylight gets shorter – i.e. from around mid-August – does the flowering phase automatically begin, during which the coveted flowers develop.
This natural lighting control has many advantages:
- No artificial lighting necessary
- No timer or outdoor technology required
- Larger plants and higher yields than with automatic (autoflowering) varieties
- Easy care, as the plants adapt to the course of the year
Important: To ensure that the plants finish flowering in time for the fall, the cuttings should not be planted outdoors too late in the summer.
Advantages of outdoor cuttings:
- Quick start – no germination, no seedling care necessary
- 100 % female – all cuttings come from female mother plants
- Genetically identical – reliable results for growth, flowering & aroma
- Ideal for outdoor growers, even in cooler climates such as Germany, Austria & Switzerland
- Less effort for beginners, as the delicate germination and young plant phase is eliminated
- Better success rate – as the plants are more robust and more developed
Who are outdoor cuttings suitable for?
- Beginners who want to start directly without germination
- Growers with little time or space for cultivation
- Hobby gardeners who rely on reliable flowering plants
- People in northern latitudes who need robust and fast-maturing material
- All those who value identical quality and proven genetics
Conclusion
Outdoor cannabis cuttings offer an easy, safe and quick introduction to outdoor cultivation. They are perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to deal with germination or uncertainties about genetics. Due to their photoperiodic nature, they adapt to the natural course of the year and, with the right care, provide strong plants and reliable flowering – ideal for growing in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other temperate climate zones.
