Tropical Smoothie

Use 18/6 during vegetative growth and switch to 12/12 for flowering, with bloom PPFD around 600–800 µmol/m²/s for best bud density.

Keep humidity below 50% in late flower, improve air movement with oscillating fans and remove dense inner foliage to prevent trapped moisture.

Moderate nitrogen during veg followed by a balanced PK boost in mid to late flowering, and avoid excessive late nitrogen to preserve terpene quality.

Harvest when most trichomes are cloudy with some amber present, usually between 8 and 10 weeks of flowering for a balanced effect.

Yes, with topping and low-stress training you can create a compact, high-yield canopy suitable for a small tent or cabinet.

It is best suited to growers with intermediate experience because humidity control and pest vigilance are important, especially in cool climates.

Watch for aphids, spider mites and fungus gnats; regular inspections and preventive measures like sticky traps work well.

CO2 can boost yields at very high light intensities but is not essential for a successful crop under standard LED setups.

Screen of Green or LST gives even light distribution and generally increases usable bud sites without adding height.

A quality tent, full-spectrum LEDs, extractor fan with carbon filter, oscillating fans, environmental controller and trays form the core kit; good ventilation is crucial for Tropical Smoothie.
