Jamaica Blue Mountain Strain Growing Information
Jamaica Blue Mountain is considered beginner-friendly despite its long flowering time of 12-16 weeks (14-15 weeks average). The strain thrives in tropical outdoor climates similar to Jamaica, with warm days and cool, misty mornings. Indoor cultivation is possible but requires powerful lighting and adequate space for the plant's significant height potential. Outdoor plants can reach up to 350cm (11+ feet) tall and may require support structures for the heavy buds. The strain is highly resistant to pests, diseases, and high humidity, making it excellent for outdoor growing in challenging climates. It prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with pH 6.0-6.5 and produces high yields when provided with proper nutrients including adequate sunlight, air circulation, and humidity control. Temperature should be maintained between 22-28°C (72-82°F) with humidity at 50-60% during vegetative growth, dropping to 40-50% during flowering.
