The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C).
