Growing Tips for Our Seeds

To bring out this strain’s purple colors you will need to shock your plants by exposing them to cooler, but never freezing, nighttime temperatures just before they enter their flowering period.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

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 40-50% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity to a steady 40% during flowering will help you keep mold and mildew off your buds.

• Training Techniques: Topping, Low-stress training and lollipopping are all solid methods to use when growing this strain. Each method increases your yield by helping sunlight and air circulation to reach lower branches.
