Dream Queen

Use a continuous extraction fan and oscillating fans to keep air moving; aim to avoid stagnant pockets around the canopy.

Water deeply but infrequently so roots develop; frequency depends on pot size, soil and recent rainfall.

Begin topping and low-stress training during the vegetative phase once plants have established 4–6 nodes.

Improve airflow, remove inner fan leaves, and consider early harvest if prolonged damp is forecast.

Feed moderate nitrogen in veg and switch to higher phosphorus and potassium in flowering; avoid overfeeding to reduce mould risk.

Monitor trichome colour for a mix of cloudy and amber depending on desired effect, and check pistil darkening for bud maturity.

Dry slowly at 18–21°C with 50–60% RH, then cure in jars with daily burps for two weeks or longer for best flavour.

Yes, but humid climate cannabis growing requires proactive mould management, especially ventilation, dehumidification and pruning to keep the canopy open.

Both work; larger pots promote bigger root runs and more consistent watering, while in-ground can produce larger plants if drainage is good.

Expect about 12–14 weeks from seed when accounting for a short veg phase and 8–10 weeks of flowering.
