How do you grow Zam's Poison?

Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors.

The strain is somewhat sensitive to temperature fluctuations and prefers stable conditions between 20-26°C (68-78°F).

Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering (40-50% RH) to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to fungal issues.
