Growing Information
August West can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a relatively short flowering time of approximately 45 days. The strain yields 3-5 ounces and reaches mature heights of 3-6 feet. For indoor cultivation, maintaining temperatures between 75°F and 80°F during the day with slightly cooler nights is ideal. Outdoor growers benefit from planting in regions with long, sunny summers ensuring ample light exposure. The strain requires careful attention to detail and adherence to best practices, making it suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. Proper drying and curing at around 60°F with 60% relative humidity for 7-14 days is essential to preserve the terpene profile.
