Mint Julep

Aim for 40–50% relative humidity during flowering and lower it further as trichomes mature to reduce mould risk.

Use good circulation fans, an extractor with variable speed and consider a dehumidifier if RH stays high, especially late in flower.

Yes, with careful canopy management, spacing and timely pruning to improve airflow; in persistent humidity use fungicidal prevention and rapid harvesting if rot appears.

Start with a balanced veg feed, switch to a bloom formula at first signs of flowering and reduce nitrogen while boosting phosphorus and potassium mid to late flower.

Begin a mild flush two weeks before harvest for most growers, but monitor plant health and trichome development to time it precisely.

Keep lower foliage pruned, maintain good spacing, harvest early if rain persists late and inspect buds regularly for soft or discoloured areas.

Yes, it responds well to SCROG and LST, which help produce an even canopy and improve light penetration for denser buds.

Use 20–40 litre pots for outdoor grows to allow a robust root system and steady water reserves through variable UK weather.

Dry slowly for 7–14 days in a dark, cool space with 45–55% RH then cure in jars for at least four weeks for improved flavour and smoothness.

Yellowing lower leaves early can indicate nitrogen shortage while purple stems may signal a phosphorus stress; test pH and adjust feed accordingly.
