Growing Tips for Caramel CBD
Caramel CBD can is one of the more difficult strains to bring to harvest. Growers should have at least an intermediate level of grow experience before trying this strain. Caramel CBD marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to manage the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Caramel CBD seeds produce bright plants, covered in long buds with loads of resinous trichomes littering the exterior. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to harvest. Doing so will ensure that you grow potent and pungent buds from the top of the plants to the bottom. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow short and bushy and can reach around 3 feet in height. Because the plants reach a maximum height of 3 feet, they don’t require a lot of extra space to grow to harvest. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept around 50-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and high temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training (LST) is the best training method for this particular strain. This training method is widely used for CBD plants because of the overall bud production. The Caramel CBD 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.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Caramel CBD strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. These yields are amazing when you consider the short flowering period and the dense buds these plants produce.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Caramel CBD: Sweetness
The Caramel CBD terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy and peppery terpene when found in cannabis plants.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Known as “the mother of all terpenes,” this monoterpene smells and tastes earthy when found in cannabis plants.
- Pinene: Pine Needles – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, this terpene gives off the scent and taste of pine in marijuana.
