Though naturally sturdy and productive, some basic gardening skills are still required. Applying LST or Low-Stress Training methods like the Sea of Green further shortens the flowering period by utilizing space. It places plants close together so hormones can influence the other’s growth.
Because it tends to be bushy, it is necessary to trim and prune the plant often. This will not only provide even air and light in the lower nodes, it will also encourage better NPK distribution. With regard to nutrients, it is necessary to balance it out by looking at factors such as pH as it can influence uptake. Although, it does not need as many nutrients to begin with due to its relatively small root mass. Over fertilizing can be avoided by feeding it with 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutrients.
