Somango

For indoor grows, 10–20 litre pots allow a healthy root run; outdoors, larger containers or planting in the ground gives better yields.

Somango benefits from strong light during flowering; aim for at least 600–700 µmol/m²/s for optimal bud development.

Use a balanced veg feed early, then switch to a bloom formula higher in phosphorus and potassium during flowering while moderating nitrogen.

Outdoors in southern UK climates you can expect harvest in late September to October depending on microclimate and season length.

Good airflow, avoiding dense foliage and timely pruning reduce mould risk; remove lower growth that traps moisture around the canopy.

It is moderately easy but beginners should be prepared to manage humidity and pests to avoid setbacks during flowering.

Flush with plain water for 7–14 days before harvest to clear excess salts and improve smoke quality.

It tolerates mild temperature swings but prolonged cold will slow development and can stress the plant during late flowering.

Use activated carbon filters and maintain negative pressure to manage odour during peak flowering.

In high humidity environments focus on ventilation, dehumidification and spacing plants well to reduce moisture accumulation and mould risk.
