Bompton Berries

Use full-spectrum LED or HID lights with about 400–600 µmol/m²/s during bloom for compact plants; reduce distance to improve bud density while avoiding light burn.

Low-stress training (LST) and topping early produce a broader canopy and more uniform bud sites; combine with selective defoliation to improve light penetration.

Moderate NPK during veg, switching to higher phosphorus and potassium during flowering; avoid overfeeding in cool conditions to reduce stretch and nutrient lockout.

Ensure good air movement and avoid dense canopies late in the season; in Yorkshire consider early defoliation and site selection that limits humidity build-up around buds.

Harvest when trichomes show a mix of cloudy and some amber for balanced effects; timing may shift in cool gardens so check trichomes rather than calendar weeks.

Yes, this strain is suited to compact setups and responds well to SCROG or SOG at small scale when trained correctly.

Target 20–25°C in veg and 18–22°C in flowering with RH 40–50% during bloom to limit mould; use dehumidifiers or ventilation when necessary in cool, damp sites.

Watch for spider mites and powdery mildew, especially in poorly ventilated spaces; regular inspections and preventive IPM keep infestations small.

Very suitable; its compact height and central cola habit make Bompton Berries ideal for compact indoor cannabis gardens using tents or small cupboards.

Not required for most growers; CO2 helps only with very high light intensities and tight environmental control, which are uncommon in small home grows.
