Sour Belts

Aim for 20–26°C during the day and no lower than 15°C at night to maintain terpene production and avoid stress.

Keep relative humidity under 50% in late flower and use dehumidifiers or increased ventilation to prevent bud rot.

Feminised seeds simplify planning for limited spaces by reducing the chance of male plants, but regular seeds can be selected if breeding is intended.

Use a balanced vegetative feed then shift to lower nitrogen and higher potassium and phosphorus during flowering to support bud set.

With an 8–10 week flowering period and a 3–4 week vegetative phase, plan around 11–14 weeks from seed under typical indoor schedules.

Use a greenhouse or move plants under cover, increase air circulation, prune inner foliage and remove any infected material promptly.

Yes, pots give flexibility to move plants under cover during wet spells and help you start plants indoors to beat the short season.

Keep an eye out for aphids, spider mites and thrips, and check undersides of leaves regularly to catch infestations early.

Strategic pruning and defoliation improve light penetration and airflow, often increasing usable yield while reducing mould risk.

In high humidity cannabis cultivation focus on ventilation, dehumidification, and aggressive airflow around bud sites, and choose resilient strains and a sheltered environment to minimise rot.
