Cherry Fade

Yes, Cherry Fade performs very well under indoor LED cannabis cultivation; aim for 300-450W actual LED per square metre and a balanced spectrum. Use 18/6 for veg and switch to 12/12 for flowering, keep VPD and airflow controlled.

Use a moderate nitrogen feed in vegetative growth and reduce N while increasing phosphorus and potassium during flower. Watch EC and keep pH between 5.8 and 6.5 for soilless systems.

Begin training early, topping at the third or fourth node for better canopy spread. Combine topping with low stress training or a SCROG to maximise yields.

Prevent mould by improving airflow, removing excess foliage, and using dehumidifiers when necessary. For outdoor plants, choose a sheltered spot and consider an early harvest if autumn turns persistently wet.

Harvest when most trichomes are milky with some amber and around 70 to 90 percent of pistils have darkened. Flush water for a week before harvest to improve smoke quality if you use feeding solutions.

Dry slowly at 18-21°C with 45-55% RH for 7 to 10 days until stems snap. Cure in jars for at least two to four weeks, burping daily at first to develop aroma and smoothness.

Spider mites, aphids and grey mould are the main threats in a Leeds environment. Use regular inspections, sticky traps, predatory insects or organic sprays to manage them early.

Yes, Cherry Fade clones readily; take cuttings in veg, use rooting gel, and keep humidity high until roots form. Cloning preserves vigour and predictable traits for repeat crops.

A full spectrum LED with a strong blue component in veg and increased red in flower works well. Ensure adequate PPFD and avoid extreme light stress by raising fixtures if leaf edges burn.

Plants are medium height and can be trained compactly for discretion. Expect a noticeable odour during late flowering, so use carbon filtration indoors if discreetness is a priority.
