Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Animal Crackers plants are tricky to grow both indoors and oudoors. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 65-75 degrees fahrenheit. Begin your grow with 18-20 hours of light per day. Once you hit the flowering stage you will want to dial it back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to get to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Relative humidity levels should be approximately 55-60% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity to a steady 40% during flowering will help you reach your desired yields while keeping your THC content intact.
