Terp Town

Use an 18/6 schedule for vegetation and a 12/12 schedule for flowering; LEDs or HPS around 400–600W per square metre work well.

Keep relative humidity at 40–60% in veg and reduce to 40–45% in late flowering to limit mould and bud rot.

Low to moderate training such as topping, LST and a light SCROG maximise yields without stressing the plant.

Start with a balanced NPK during veg and switch to phosphorus and potassium-focused feed in flowering, reducing nitrates late in the stretch.

Expect eight to ten weeks of flowering and check trichome colour for final ripeness, harvesting when most are cloudy with some amber.

It shows average resistance but still needs routine inspection and integrated pest management to control mites and aphids early.

Dry slowly at 18–20°C and 50% RH for 7–10 days, then cure in jars for several weeks to develop terpene complexity.

Some breeders produce autoflower variants, but the most common commercial option is feminised photoperiod seed.

Select sheltered, sunny microclimates, use polytunnels if necessary and plan to harvest before autumn moisture increases.

Design a room with good intake and exhaust airflow, ducted fans, carbon filtration, reflective walls, and space for training; control temperature at 20–26°C and humidity as recommended.
