Tropic Truffle

Use 18/6 during veg and switch to 12/12 for flowering; LED intensity around 400–600 µmol/m²/s is a good target to develop dense buds.

Keep humidity at 40–60% in veg and lower it to 40–45% in late flowering to reduce mould risk; adequate airflow and dehumidification are important in damp seasons.

Yes — low-stress training and light topping help open the canopy and improve light penetration, which increases yield without drastically extending flowering time.

A balanced NPK feed in veg followed by lower nitrogen and higher phosphorus and potassium in flowering suits Tropic Truffle; feed to runoff and monitor EC to avoid lockout.

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some amber for a balanced effect; check pistil colour and trichome development rather than relying on calendar days.

Site plants in a sheltered position, use trellising to improve airflow, and consider rain covers late in the season to protect developing buds from prolonged damp.

It will grow under lower light but stretch and yield will be reduced; for best results invest in efficient fixtures and maintain proper spectrum and intensity.

Spider mites, aphids and powdery mildew are the main issues; use integrated pest management, regular inspections and biological controls where possible to keep populations low.

Dry slowly at 18–21°C with 45–55% RH for 7–14 days, then cure in jars opening daily for the first week and maintaining stable humidity to preserve flavours and potency.

Yes — it performs particularly well under quality LED fixtures where spectrum and intensity can be tuned, producing dense colas and good terpene retention indoors.
