Alternatively, growers can cultivate it indoors. The controllable environment allows one to adjust factors like lighting, temperature, and humidity to fit the current growing phase. For instance, the vegetative period will require at least 18 hours of light but, during flowering, it should be lowered to 12 hours. Temperatures should also be reduced to induce bud production.
Topping the plant may also be necessary. Apart from managing its height, it encourages better light and aeration in the lower method. Not to mention, it reduces the likelihood of humidity-related problems which can stunt its growth.
It works great in both the Sea and Screen of Green setups. Because it is quite compact, growers can place at least four seeds in a single square meter. The latter, on the other hand, requires installing a screen on top of the current canopy. It levels the top to distribute light evenly for better bud production. Regardless of which one chooses, both will double yields.
