Growing Tips for Darth Vader OG
Darth Vader OG is easy to grow, even if you have limited experience in the cannabis cultivation world. Darth Vader OG marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Darth Vader OG cannabis seeds grow into plants with cone-shaped buds and long, green leaves. The buds are bright green and orange because of the pistils growing from within the bud sites. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a medium height and can reach around 2-5 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 5 feet, they are compact enough to grow in smaller grow setups. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 55-62% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Screen of Green (ScrOG) and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the most beneficial methods for this strain. If performed correctly, these techniques will help to increase the total yields and improve bud production. These methods help to control the canopy while also reinforcing the heaviest buds so the branches don’t bend or break. The Darth Vader OG strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth and get you all the way to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Darth Vader OG strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Considering how easy this strain is to cultivate, these yields are fantastic.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
