Cherry Cough

Aim for 40–60% RH in veg and drop to 40–50% RH in flower to reduce mould risk while keeping stomata healthy.

Increase ventilation, use fans to keep air moving through the canopy, and thin lower growth to improve airflow; removing affected leaves early prevents spread.

Use a balanced vegetative feed early, then shift to a bloom formula with slightly higher phosphorus and potassium during flowering, and reduce nitrogen as buds fatten.

Yes, LST and light topping work well to even out the canopy and increase usable bud sites without causing excessive stress.

With good airflow and attention to canopy density, it performs reliably even in coastal areas; keep a dehumidifier ready in enclosed spaces.

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some ambers for a balanced effect; check a few buds across the plant for consistency.

Dry slowly at 18–21°C and 45–55% RH for 7–10 days, then cure in jars, burping daily for the first two weeks to develop flavour and smoothness.

Aphids, spider mites and whitefly can appear; introduce predators, use neem carefully and keep plants healthy to resist infestations.

Site plants where they get morning sun and afternoon shade if summers are warm, and check for wind exposure to avoid limb damage.

Humid climate cannabis growing raises mildew risk, so prioritise canopy management, ventilation and timed defoliation to keep humidity at bay.
