Fat Banana

It suits northern climate cannabis growing if cultivated indoors in controlled conditions; outdoors it's riskier due to damp. Many growers in Pembrokeshire move plants indoors or use protected structures to avoid late-season moisture.

Keep relative humidity around 40-50% during flowering and slightly higher in veg to reduce mould risk. Use dehumidifiers and fans in humid indoor grow rooms to maintain stable conditions.

Switch to a 12/12 light cycle once plants have reached the desired vegetative size, typically after 4-6 weeks indoors. Allow room for stretch to avoid overcrowding during early flowering.

Yes, the dense buds can trap moisture and become susceptible to botrytis in damp conditions. Regular inspections and preventative airflow are essential to keep problems at bay.

Moderate feeding with balanced N-P-K in veg and reduced nitrogen with higher phosphorus and potassium in flowering is effective. Check runoff EC and pH to avoid nutrient lockout.

Yes, both SCROG and topping work well to create an even canopy and improve yields. Low-stress training complements these methods by spreading the growth without excessive recovery time.

Dry slowly at about 18-21°C with 45-55% humidity for 7-12 days, then cure in jars for at least two weeks. Proper curing enhances the banana flavour and smooths the smoke.

Maintain good airflow around colas, keep humidity low as buds thicken, and remove inner foliage that blocks ventilation. Early detection and selective removal of affected buds stop spread.

With good environmental control 400-550 g/m² is achievable under optimised indoor systems. Results vary with phenotype selection, training and grower experience.

Cultivating cannabis remains illegal in the UK without a licence, so check current laws before planning any cultivation. Medical prescriptions do not permit personal cultivation.
