Expect eight to nine weeks of flowering under a stable 12/12 light schedule; outdoor plants in mild areas finish late September to early October.

Use a balanced vegetative feed followed by a bloom formula with higher phosphorus and potassium; reduce nitrogen mid-flower and watch for nutrient burn.

Maintain good airflow, reduce humidity during late flowering, and remove dense inner foliage to improve circulation around buds.

Yes; SCROG works well to spread the canopy and increase light penetration while SOG is possible with many small plants to maximise yield quickly.

Harvest when most trichomes are cloudy with a few ambers for an uplifting yet mellow profile; flush with clean water one to two weeks before harvest to improve taste.

Spider mites, aphids and thrips are common; routinely inspect plants and use biological controls or targeted treatments as needed.

In humid climate cannabis growing, prioritise dehumidification, strong air exchange and timely defoliation; consider mildew-resistant strains and avoid overwatering to reduce fungal risk.

Regular seeds will produce males and females; feminised seeds are recommended for growers who want to avoid sexing and remove males early.

Dry slowly in a dark, ventilated space at around 50% humidity, then cure in jars with daily burping for two to four weeks to preserve terpenes and smooth the smoke.

No unusual micronutrients are required, but ensure adequate levels of calcium, magnesium and trace elements to avoid deficiencies during flowering.
