Lunch Box

Aim for 40-50% RH during flowering and increase ventilation if levels climb; dehumidifiers or improved airflow help in damp seasons.

Use a balanced NPK feed early and reduce nitrogen while increasing phosphorus and potassium in mid to late flowering.

It can perform well but needs vigilant mould prevention, strong airflow and careful canopy management to avoid bud rot.

Begin a gentle flush one to two weeks before harvest to improve taste, depending on nutrient regime and substrate.

Topping and low-stress training work well to produce an even canopy and more main colas.

Check plants quickly after lights-off if necessary, but avoid disturbing them during the dark period to prevent stress.

Aphids, whitefly and spider mites are common, so inspect regularly and use biological controls or soft insecticidal soaps early.

Yes, pots give flexibility to move plants for light and shelter, which is helpful in Wiltshire's variable late-summer weather.

Dry slowly to 50-60% RH and then cure in sealed jars with brief daily burps for the first fortnight.

Combine topping with SCROG or selective defoliation to expose bud sites and maintain airflow through the canopy.
