Because of its propensity for cool weather, growers can cultivate the plant with ease in gardens or farms in the northern hemisphere. It will need to be protected against the frost that an early winter brings. Otherwise, the snow will kill it overnight. Meanwhile, heavy rains will lead to beat the strain down until it bends. Providing support through a temporary enclosing or hooking the plant to a piece of wood to keep it upright will do wonders. Flowers begin to bloom around the last week of September to the middle of October. It yields at least 700 grams of buds per plant.

Indoors, harvest usually comes around 7 to 9 weeks after initiating the flowering period. Growers can expect at least 700 to 750 grams of buds per square meter. However, growers can manipulate the plant using the Sea of Green method to increase bud production. The technique also allows growers to maximize small spaces. With that said, it is necessary to thin out Kong by either pruning or trimming. Its dense foliage can get in the way of even light and air distribution, especially among the lower nodes. If left unattended, it can lead to humidity-related problem such mold or mildew and nutrient deficiencies.

To bring out its beautiful strikes of blue and purple, growers only need to expose it to colder temperatures at night during the flowering period. The result is a dense bud with a deep forest green and strokes of royal colors that catch the eye.
