Tallymon

Monitor trichomes in late September to early October in Cambridge and harvest when most are cloudy with some amber. Dry weather windows improve bud quality so pick after a dry spell if possible.

Use a balanced NPK feed during veg and switch to a bloom formula for flowering, reducing nitrogen after week four of bloom. Feed lightly and flush before harvest to improve smoke quality.

Maintain good airflow, avoid dense shading of the canopy, and monitor humidity closely during late flowering. Removing small fan leaves that block airflow helps reduce rot risk.

Tallymon tolerates brief cool spells but prolonged cold can slow trichome development. Use fleece or cloches for outdoor plants if a cold snap is forecast.

Yes, the strain responds well to both sea of green (SOG) and screen of green (SCROG) techniques. SCROG can improve light distribution and boost yields indoors.

Aphids, spider mites and fungal issues are the main threats in this climate. Regular inspection and integrated pest management keep problems small and manageable.

Cure buds for at least two to four weeks in a cool, dark place with controlled humidity. Proper curing brings out the citrus and spice notes and reduces harshness.

For a single Tallymon plant, 10–20 litre pots give a good balance between root space and manageability. Larger pots suit longer veg periods and help stabilise water needs.

Moderate hardness is acceptable but avoid very alkaline water which can lock out nutrients. Test and adjust pH to the 6.0–6.5 range for soil grows and 5.5–6.0 for soilless media.

Yes, controlled climate cannabis growing methods like dehumidification, precise temperature control and consistent light schedules will measurably improve bud quality and yields.
