Start seeds indoors in late March to April and transplant after the last frost to give plants a long vegetative window.

Choose a well-drained, raised site with airflow, space plants for ventilation, and consider using fleece or a removable canopy during prolonged wet spells.

Skunk responds well to a balanced nutrient schedule with moderate nitrogen in veg and higher phosphorous and potassium in flowering.

Yes, but coastal sites need extra shelter from salt-laden wind and late-season rain to prevent bud rot, which is a common challenge in coastal climate cannabis cultivation.

Feminized seeds simplify production by eliminating males, while regular seeds are preferred if you intend to breed or stabilise traits.

Monitor regularly, encourage beneficial insects, use organic sprays when necessary, and remove affected growth promptly to limit spread.

Dry slowly in a dark, ventilated space at 18-21°C and 45-55% RH, then cure in jars, burping daily for two weeks and longer for improved flavour.

Yes, pots give mobility to move plants under cover when storms approach and make it easier to control soil and nutrients in Leicester gardens.

Topping, low-stress training and selective defoliation work well to open the canopy and reduce mould risk while increasing light penetration.
