Monitor trichome colour and pistil recession; harvest when most trichomes are cloudy with some ambers for a sedative finish. In Fife that often means aiming for early to mid-autumn and watching weather forecasts closely.

Improve airflow by removing inner leaves, space plants appropriately and use fans or vents in enclosed spaces. Avoid late-season rain outdoors and consider harvesting slightly earlier if persistent damp is forecast.

Begin with balanced bloom nutrients and emphasise phosphorus and potassium after week three of flowering. Reduce nitrogen in the final two weeks to support resin formation and cleaner smoke.

Yes, a greenhouse or polytunnel can extend the ripening window and shelter plants from heavy rain. Ventilation and dehumidification are still essential to prevent mould in confined spaces.

In high humidity cannabis cultivation aim for a relative humidity under 50% during late flowering and use dehumidifiers or increased ventilation. Removing lower foliage and opening the canopy also helps reduce trapped moisture.

Feminised seeds simplify cultivation by reducing the need to identify and remove males, making them a practical choice for novices. Regular seeds are useful for breeders or those who want pollen for crosses.

SCROG, topping and light defoliation help open the canopy and increase even bud development. Low-stress training is useful early on to promote multiple main colas without excessive vigour loss.

Expect around eight to nine weeks of flowering under stable indoor conditions. Finish times depend on phenotype and environmental control.

Common issues include aphids, spider mites and slugs outdoors; use biological controls like predatory insects and organic sprays where possible. Maintain cleanliness and inspect plants regularly to catch infestations early.

It tolerates mild cool spells but is not frost-hardy; protect plants from freezing temperatures with cloches or by moving containers indoors. Sharp temperature swings can stress plants and slow trichome development.
