Sour Pinot

Start with a mild vegetative nutrient mix and increase potassium and phosphorus when flowering begins. Reduce nitrogen mid-flower to improve resin and bud density.

Maintain constant airflow, keep night temperatures slightly higher than outdoors and use dehumidifiers when necessary. Remove lower leaves and space plants to improve circulation around buds.

Begin a water-only flush about 7 to 14 days before harvest depending on nutrient load. Monitor trichomes and leaf colour to time the final flush correctly.

It responds well to topping, LST and selective defoliation to open the canopy. Heavy training early in veg enhances side-branch development and evens the final canopy.

Yes, it adapts well to organic soil and living soil systems if fed with balanced organic amendments. Ensure good microbial activity and pH stability for best results.

Aphids, spider mites and fungal gnats are common in greenhouse environments. Regular inspection and preventative biological controls reduce outbreaks.

Yes, but choose a sheltered, south-facing spot and consider a protected greenhouse for wetter seasons. Proper timing and site choice are key for outdoor cannabis cultivation success.

Initial curing should be at least two weeks with regular burping of jars. Longer cures of four to eight weeks often reveal deeper flavour complexity.

A free-draining loam rich in organic matter with added perlite suits Sour Pinot. Avoid heavy, water-retentive mixes that increase rot risk in humid conditions.

Look for amber and cloudy trichomes along with pistils that have mostly darkened and curled in. Also note slowing or yellowing of fan leaves as a secondary indicator.
