Snow Dog

Use a steady, moderate nutrient schedule with a slight increase in phosphorus and potassium during flowering. Flush lightly before harvest if you aim for a smoother smoke.

Improve airflow with plant spacing and low-stress training to open the canopy, and choose a site less prone to prolonged damp. Remove large fan leaves if necessary to increase light penetration and reduce humidity pockets.

Yes, it can finish outdoors in favourable UK microclimates, especially in sheltered, south-facing gardens. In cooler areas consider moving plants under cover or using polytunnels to extend the ripening window.

Trim to remove excess fan leaves and then dry slowly at 16–20°C with 45–55% humidity to preserve terpenes. Cure in airtight jars for several weeks, burping regularly at first to avoid moisture build-up.

Begin bloom nutrients at the first signs of pistils and calyx development, usually at week one of flowering. Reduce nitrogen while increasing phosphorus and potassium to support bud growth.

Snow Dog can tolerate some wind and salt-laden air but performs best in sheltered coastal zones where direct sea spray is limited. Regular rinsing of foliage and windbreaks help protect trichomes and prevent salt damage.

Choose sheltered, south-facing locations and install windbreaks to reduce salt exposure; use quick-draining soils or raised beds to avoid waterlogging. Keep a strict mould-prevention regime and consider early harvesting if persistent winds or storms are forecast.

Aphids, spider mites and thrips are the most common pests, especially in warm indoor grows or sheltered outdoor spots. Use integrated pest management with beneficial insects, regular inspections and neem or insecticidal soaps as needed.

Heavier colas can require staking or netting to keep branches from sagging, especially after heavy resin set. A simple trellis or individual stakes will protect branch integrity through harvest.

Watch trichome colour shifting from clear to milky with some amber for balanced effects and check pistil darkening and retraction. Harvest earlier for a clearer, cerebral high and later for a more relaxed finish.
