Sand vs. Silt vs. Clay: Which Soil is Best for Cannabis? Part 1

Not all soil is created equal. In Part 1 of this series, we explore the three basic soil particle types—sand, silt, and clay—and how each one influences cannabis growth. Learn why soil texture affects drainage, water retention, root development, nutrient availability, and overall plant health. Whether you're growing in a garden, raised bed, greenhouse, or simply want to better understand what makes a great soil, this episode lays the scientific foundation every grower should know. In this video you'll learn: What sand, silt, and clay actually are How each particle size changes soil structure Why water drains differently in different soils How roots respond to each soil type The advantages and disadvantages of each soil texture Why most successful growers rarely use pure sand, silt, or clay alone Understanding your soil is one of the first steps toward growing healthier, more productive cannabis plants.
