Garlic Knots

A rich, well-draining loam with added compost and worm castings gives the best structure and microbial life for this strain.

Strong but gentle airflow across the canopy, combined with dehumidification, keeps mould pressure low without stressing the plants.

Begin a light flush in the final 7–10 days to clean the flavour profile while avoiding nutrient starvation that can stall trichome development.

It is not especially mould-resistant and needs proactive measures in wet climates, including spacing, pruning and preventative organic treatments.

Yes, but use large, well-draining pots and place them on a raised surface to improve drainage and reduce waterlogging risk.

A light SCROG or selective topping during veg encourages even bud sites and reduces dense lower growth where mould can start.

Use slightly lower nitrogen and emphasise calcium and silica to strengthen tissues, while avoiding overwatering which promotes root disease.

It suits intermediate growers who can manage humidity and adopt organic disease-prevention techniques, rather than complete novices.

For organic cannabis soil growing use a living soil rich in compost, mycorrhizae, worm castings and balanced slow-release amendments, and keep moisture levels stable to support microbial activity.

In southern areas like Kent expect harvest in late September to early October, but check trichomes for the desired effect.
