Lemon Cane

Start with a balanced vegetative feed and increase potassium during flowering. Reduce nitrogen in the last two weeks to improve smoke quality.

Maintain good airflow and avoid overcrowding to lower relative humidity around the canopy. Inspect buds regularly and remove any poorly formed flowers.

Check trichome colour from week eight and time harvest when most are cloudy with a few ambers. In mild southern locations aim for late September when resin production peaks.

Reduce humidity with dehumidifiers indoors and increase ventilation outdoors using spacing and windbreaks. Use foliar sprays cautiously and favour strains with open bud structure to limit moisture trapping.

Yes, a greenhouse or polytunnel gives season extension and shelter from heavy rain. Ensure you can vent and control humidity during warm spells.

Low-stress training and topping encourage even canopy and more main colas. Support heavier branches in late flowering to prevent snap and improve light penetration.

No special nutrients are required but a quality PK boost during weeks four to six of flowering helps resin development. Use root supplements and beneficial microbes to improve uptake.

It is suitable for growers with some basic experience rather than complete beginners. The plant tolerates common mistakes but rewards attention to humidity and feeding.

Cure for at least two to four weeks in sealed jars, burping daily at first to remove residual moisture. Longer curing smooths flavours and enhances terpene expression.

Aphids, spider mites and grey mould are the main threats. Introduce biological controls and maintain cleanliness to limit outbreaks.
