Blood Moon

Blood Moon has genetics selected for vigour in shorter seasons, a trait common in many cool climate cannabis strains, so it tolerates cool nights and finishes reliably if given shelter from prolonged damp.

Check trichomes for cloudy to amber development around week eight to ten; aim to harvest slightly early if heavy rain is forecast to avoid rot.

Use aggressive defoliation to open the canopy, maintain good airflow, avoid overfeeding late in bloom and consider greenhouse cover or tarps to shield buds from heavy downpours.

It is best for an intermediate grower; novices may manage indoors with steady conditions but outdoors the rainy autumn risks require experience to mitigate.

Topping followed by SCROG or low-stress training balances the canopy and increases bud sites, which helps achieve even ripening and reduces hidden, damp pockets.

Yes, it responds well to organic fertilisers and compost teas, though organic beds need excellent drainage to cope with wet periods.

Moderate nitrogen in veg, switching to phosphorus and potassium during bloom with careful EC control to avoid nutrient lockout in cooler soils.

Indoors you can expect stable medium yields per square metre; outdoors yields depend heavily on weather but protected plants can exceed indoor yields in a good season.

Dry slowly in a controlled environment with dehumidification, then cure for at least two to four weeks in sealed jars, burping regularly to prevent mould.

Keep an eye on weather forecasts, build simple covers for heavy rain, and consider harvesting the earliest ripe colas first to protect quality.
