Instructions

Propagation and Germination

  • Start with high-quality feminized seeds from a reputable breeder.

  • Germinate seeds in a moist paper towel or distilled water at 70-85°F (21-29°C) until taproots appear (1-3 days).

  • Transfer to a light, well-draining soil or peat pellets, maintaining humidity around 60-70% and temperatures near 75-80°F (24-27°C).

  • Provide gentle, indirect light during seedling stage.

Vegetative Stage

  • Provide 18-20 hours of intense light daily using LED grow lights optimized for vegetation.

  • Maintain temperature between 68°F and 80°F (20-27°C).

  • Keep humidity at 40-60% to encourage healthy growth.

  • Use nitrogen-rich nutrients to support strong leaf development.

  • Water only when the top inch of soil is dry to avoid overwatering.

  • Employ low-stress training (LST) or topping to control plant shape and maximize yields.

Flowering Stage

  • Switch to a 12/12 light/dark cycle to initiate flowering.

  • Provide 65-75°F (18-24°C) temperatures and lower humidity (40-50%) to prevent mold.

  • Use phosphorus and potassium-rich nutrients to sustain bud development.

  • Harvest after 8-10 weeks when trichomes turn milky white with some amber for optimal potency.

  • Support heavy buds with stakes or trellises if necessary.

Drying and Curing

  • Dry buds slowly in a dark, ventilated space at approximately 60°F (15°C) with 50% humidity.

  • Cure buds in airtight jars, opening daily for air exchange for at least 2 weeks to enhance flavor and potency.
