Crop Duster

Crop Duster has average resistance but is vulnerable in damp conditions, so maintain airflow and remove dense fan leaves to reduce humidity around colas.

Aim for late September in good seasons, but inspect trichomes and start planning protection a few weeks earlier if autumn looks wet.

Start with balanced NPK in vegetative growth, then switch to lower nitrogen and higher potassium and phosphorus during flowering to support bud development.

It tolerates moderate wind but benefits from staking or windbreaks; avoid exposing tall plants to constant strong gusts that can shred buds.

Yes, with precautions; in coastal climate cannabis cultivation choose sheltered sites and focus on mould prevention and salt-tolerant soil amendments.

Many growers perform a short flush of plain water one to two weeks before harvest to improve smoke smoothness, but monitor plants for nutrient deficiency signs.

Aphids, spider mites and slugs can all be problematic in cool, damp gardens; use biological controls and regular inspections to keep populations down.

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

A greenhouse provides extra warmth and rain protection, but you must ventilate well and monitor humidity closely to prevent mould.

Low stress training and selective topping improve light penetration and reduce wind leverage, which is especially helpful in cooler, wind-prone sites.
