Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Lemon Skunk plants grow well indoors and outdoors. Outdoors the plants require a little more attention because of changing climates. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit but never below 60 degrees. During the vegetative stage, providing an 18-24 hour light cycle is ideal but you can get away with 18/6.
