Kings Cake

Kings Cake can be vulnerable to high humidity during the late flowering phase. Keep good airflow and monitor relative humidity to reduce mould and bud rot risk.

Use a moderate feeding schedule with a gradual increase during vegetative growth and a taper in late flowering. Avoid heavy nitrogen late in bloom to encourage resin and terpene development.

Check trichomes from week eight; many phenotypes hit peak between weeks eight and nine. Harvest when most trichomes are milky with some amber for balanced effects.

Kings Cake responds well to SCROG because of its compact branching and dense buds. SOG is possible but requires many plants to match the same yield per square metre.

Regular inspection, targeted pruning for airflow, and organic pest controls help prevent infestations. Timing the harvest before prolonged autumn damp helps avoid bud rot.

The variety tolerates mild temperature swings but heavy or prolonged cold can slow trichome production. Protect plants from unexpected frost in marginal seasons.

CO2 can boost yields in tightly sealed, high-light rooms but is not essential for most growers. Focus first on light, ventilation and nutrient balance before adding CO2.

Dry slowly at 45-55% RH and around 18-21°C, then cure in sealed jars with regular burping for the first two weeks. Proper curing improves flavour and smooths harshness.

Keep an eye on late summer weather and be ready to protect plants from wet conditions. Choosing a sheltered outdoor site and starting with healthy, vigorous plants reduces problems.

For humid climate cannabis growing increase airflow, remove lower fan leaves, and use dehumidifiers indoors or a sturdier drying window outdoors. Harvest timing and preventive pruning are key to avoiding mould.
