Use a balanced bloom feed with slightly reduced nitrogen and increased phosphorus and potassium from week three of flowering. Flush lightly towards the final week to improve taste and burn.

Increase airflow, remove lower foliage that traps moisture and apply preventative organic fungicides if needed. Keep humidity below 55% during late flowering to minimise bud rot.

Yes, but choose a sheltered site or use a greenhouse to protect against prolonged rain and humidity. Outdoor growers should prioritise airflow and early detection of mould.

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some ambers for a sedative effect, typically in late September in the Highlands if planted early. Start checking trichomes two weeks before expected finish to time it precisely.

Yes, a SCROG or topping strategy helps spread light and increases yield by producing more evenly developed colas. Lower branches can be removed to focus energy on the canopy.

Look for spider mites, aphids and whitefly, especially when humidity fluctuates. Regular inspections and biological controls like predatory mites reduce infestations early.

K, P and silica supplements during late flowering can improve bud density and trichome development. Use them sparingly and follow manufacturer recommendations to avoid nutrient lockout.

Yes, it tolerates cooler nights typical of the Highlands but avoid prolonged drops below 10°C during flowering. Stable day-night differentials help trichome development without stressing the plant.

Flush with plain water for seven to ten days prior to harvest to remove excess nutrients and improve smoke quality. Shorter flushes may still leave mineral residues in the buds.

Use a loam-based compost with good drainage and added perlite to balance moisture retention and aeration. A living soil approach with compost teas can enhance microbial activity and plant health.
