Malibu

Malibu tolerates moderate humidity but needs good airflow and canopy management to prevent mould, especially in late season.

Use a well-draining, loam-based mix with added perlite and organic matter to encourage healthy root development and reduce water retention issues.

Many growers perform a short flush one to two weeks before harvest to improve flavour, but monitor trichomes rather than relying solely on timing.

Yes, with training and a sheltered spot Malibu can thrive in small urban gardens, though nets or supports help against wind and rain.

Selective pruning and topping improve light penetration and reduce dense, mould-prone pockets inside the canopy.

Inspect regularly for aphids and spider mites and use biological controls or approved soft insecticides to minimise chemical residues on flowers.

Provide a balanced NPK regime with a slight reduction in nitrogen at the start of flowering and monitor feed to avoid nutrient lockout.

For high humidity cannabis cultivation use dehumidifiers, oscillating fans and maintain an open canopy to keep moisture from settling on buds and leaves.

You can, but a greenhouse or simple shelter significantly improves outcomes by shielding from heavy rain and extending the effective growing season.

Expect eight to nine weeks of flowering, but monitor trichome colour and calyx swelling to decide the exact harvest window.
