Growing Conditions & Tips
- Outdoor: Best in warm, sunny, Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of room to stretch; can reach up to 6 ft or more with large, resin-covered colas.
- Indoor: Strong lighting (HPS or LED); 70–85°F (21–29°C) during veg; lower humidity during flowering helps prevent mold on dense buds.
- Cooler climates: An indoor room or greenhouse can help extend the season given the longer flowering time.
- Nutrients: Nitrogen-focused in veg, shifting to phosphorus/potassium-focused in flowering; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot — let soil dry somewhat between waterings.
