Use Aloe Vera to Nourish and Protect Your Cannabis Crop
Just like Cannabis, Aloe Vera is a lush and powerful plant that has been cultivated and used for thousands of years in
medicine all around the world. The 'Ebers Papyrus' that is described as the oldest document about medicine explains
the several uses of Aloe Vera. This wonderful plant has a composition of 99% water but the unbelievable fact is that the
remaining 1% can work a lot of magic. This is because it contains a high level of minerals, amino acids, and vitamins. All
these are embedded in the gel of an Aloe Vera. In most cosmetic products and health supplements, Aloe Vera is a core
ingredient. This is because the skin, leaf, and gel of an Aloe Vera plant contain about 75 active components like organic
acids, polysaccharides, enzymes, saponins, vitamins, and minerals, etc. It is also used as a healing and regenerative
agent. If we as humans can bene t from Aloe Vera, then it should be able to nourish and protect our cannabis plants
too.
As of today, there has been a lot of campaign for cannabis growers to switch to the organic method in growing their
seeds. The campaign worked as growers are now focusing on using more organic methods to improve harvests, soil
health, increase garden biodiversity and also heal the environment. Organic methods include the use of di erent plant
allies to deter pests, create compost, attract bene cial organisms, clone strains, and even fertilize crops. Aloe Vera is a
front liner in the species used in this organic formation. The components of Aloe Vera can assist and bene t the
cannabis plant in several unparalleled ways. But many cannabis growers don't even have access to this knowledge. At

no cost at all, Aloe Vera can help to clone your cannabis plants organically. It is a plant loaded with several compounds
that will nourish and protect your cannabis crop. If your priority as a grower is growing delicious organic buds, then Aloe
Vera is your best bet.
Bene ts of Aloe Vera to Cannabis Plants
1. It serves as a boost for cloning, root, and growth development.
Aloe Vera is a quality supplement for the cloning, growth, and root development of a cannabis plant due to its immense
nutrient composition. It accelerates cell division, stimulates root growth, and even increases water and nutrient uptake.
The stimulation of root growth allows the cannabis plant to be resilient to environmental agents such as harsh wind and
drought. It aids seed germination and also prevents or ease transplant shock. During cloning and propagation, Aloe
Vera can be used as a rooting hormone. The natural nutritious composition of the Aloe Vera makes it a potent fertilizer
for cannabis plants and that is why it is the best option in enhancing cannabis plant cell strength and root development.
2. Use it as a foliar spray
Organic growers can use Aloe Vera as a foliar spray. The essence of foliar spraying is because cannabis plants tend to
absorb enzymes and micronutrients faster through their leaves than roots. Micronutrients such as zinc, calcium,
manganese, and magnesium are provided to the plants during foliar spraying. Foliar spraying with Aloe Vera is most
e cient when you want to help your cannabis plant recover from a disease or de ciency. This process also enhances
the biodiversity of the soil and attract bene cial microorganisms like mycorrhizal fungi that help with nutrient
absorption in cannabis plants. Application of Aloe Vera as a foliar spray should be a weekly ritual until your cannabis
plants begin to ower. You can use Aloe Vera as a foliar spray by mixing 4 liters of water with two teaspoons of fresh
Aloe Vera gel.
3. It protects against environmental stress and disease
Aloe Vera contains a high level of saponins, which revive the soil and allow water to in ltrate the roots. Saponins also
protect against menaces like fungi and detrimental microbes. It also helps to avoid pest invasion and serves as toxic to
insects. Aloe Vera also strengthens the plant immune system through a component called Salicylic acid. This substance

does trigger a response in cannabis plants called systemic acquired resistance (SAR). The salicylic acid protects the plant
and enhances its resistance power to environmental hazards such as heat, osmotic stress, and drought.
Growing and Caring For Your Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of the easiest plants to grow. It can blossom whether you grow it inside or outdoors in a warm climate
as periodic sun lighting is important to help the plants grow appropriately. Caring for your Aloe Vera is always on the
low maintenance level and it is considerably cheap. You don't need to bombard your Aloe Vera with a lot of water or
nutrients, but you need to feed your Aloe Vera with organic fertilizer to strengthen the gel. Your Aloe Vera will produce
the best organic gel to foliar feed and clone your cannabis plants if it is planted in well-drained soil.
The e ect of Aloe Vera on the cannabis plants is enormous, the relationship between them is unique. All cannabis
growers should cultivate the habit of using Aloe Vera to nourish and protect their cannabis plant.
