Use a free-draining loam-based mix with added perlite and compost to retain nutrients yet avoid waterlogging.

Keep relative humidity below 50% during late flowering and increase airflow around the canopy to deter mould.

Feed lightly through vegetative growth and switch to bloom-specific organic feeds as buds form, reducing nitrogen in late flowering.

Yes, but choose a sheltered, sunny microclimate and prepare to protect buds from prolonged wet weather.

A vegetative period of four to eight weeks is common for managing height and building a sturdy canopy.

Watch for aphids, spider mites and slugs; use integrated pest management and encourage beneficial predators.

For organic cannabis soil growing in a wet climate, enrich soil with high-quality compost, use raised beds or pots with large drainage holes, and add mycorrhizae to support root health while minimising overwatering issues.

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some ambers for balanced potency and a slightly more sedative finish.

Many growers reduce strong feeds in the final two weeks, but a full flush is a personal choice depending on your nutrient regime.

Space plants for airflow, remove dense inner foliage, harvest promptly if weather stays wet, and consider plastic tunnels only when necessary and ventilated.
