Aim for 50–60% relative humidity in vegetative growth and 40–50% during flowering to reduce mould risk while supporting resin production.

Use a steady, balanced feed schedule with slightly higher nitrogen in veg and increased phosphorus and potassium during bloom; avoid overwatering and flush lightly before harvest.

Monitor trichomes for a mix of cloudy and some amber for balanced effects; harvest timing between eight and ten weeks indoors tends to give the best profile.

Site plants in well-ventilated, sunny positions, prune lower foliage to increase airflow, and remove any affected material promptly at first sign of rot.

Yes, topping, low-stress training and SCROG can maximise light exposure across the canopy and improve overall bud density.

Dry slowly at 18–20°C with 50–60% relative humidity and cure in sealed jars for several weeks, burping daily at first to avoid condensation.

Regular checks for spider mite, aphids and whitefly are important and you should favour integrated pest management, introducing predators and using soft controls before stronger chemicals.

It tolerates mild fluctuations but prefers stable conditions; protect plants from prolonged rain and sudden cold spells in late season.

Increase ventilation, use circulating fans, prune to open the canopy, deploy dehumidifiers indoors, and schedule outdoor work to minimise prolonged damp; rapid response to mould signs is crucial.

A brief flush for 7–10 days before harvest can improve smoothness and flavour by reducing excess nutrient salts in the plant.
