Kerosene

Kerosene is best for growers with some experience because it needs humidity and mould management but it is forgiving in training and pruning.

Use good air circulation, remove lower foliage, and consider a silica or biofungicide programme during wet periods to reduce bud rot risk.

A balanced vegetative feed followed by a slightly higher potassium and phosphorus bloom feed works well to support dense bud development.

Harvest when trichomes hit cloudy to amber for a balanced effect and try to avoid harvesting during prolonged wet spells to prevent mould.

Selective defoliation and light lollipopping improve airflow around the main colas and reduce moisture pockets in the canopy.

A ventilated greenhouse gives good protection from rain while allowing natural light but you must still control humidity and provide heating on cold nights.

Kerosene is relatively resilient and, with care, performs well compared with many cool climate varieties thanks to compact growth and fast resin development.

Aphids and spider mites can appear in warm spells so inspect plants regularly and use integrated pest management to keep populations low.

Yes, Kerosene is often recommended when selecting cool climate cannabis strains because its compact form and quick finish suit shorter, damper seasons.

Dry slowly at 18 to 21 degrees Celsius with 45 to 55 percent relative humidity then cure in jars with daily burps for at least two weeks to develop flavour and smoothness.
