Growing Tips for Ancient Kush Seeds

Ancient Kush seeds can be difficult to grow if you don’t have any prior experience in cannabis cultivation. This strain prefers warmth, sunlight, and fresh air to thrive, as well as a drier climate than most cannabis varieties. Indoor growers will need nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting, and the ideal temperature and humidity to produce favorable yields. Outdoor growers with access to a greenhouse will have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, then you will need to carve out a window of good weather, typically during the summertime, depending on where you live, to bring this strain to fruition. Keep in mind that these plants have a strong aroma, so you will need to consider that when planning your outdoor grow, especially if you don’t want your neighbors to smell what you’re growing. These plants grow medium to tall and can reach a height of 60 inches, so you will need vertical and lateral space to give them the best chance at healthy growth. Providing a consistent temperature range of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit and ensuring relative humidity levels stay below 60% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, dry climate with lots of sunlight to produce bud-rich plants. Low-stress training is the best training method for this cannabis variety. This technique will increase your yields come harvest time by allowing light to reach every level of your plants. LST is also a low-maintenance method that doesn’t require tons of attention to apply correctly. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. You will need to switch the light cycle from an 18-20 hour cycle to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage and get these plants to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Ancient Kush strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant.

• Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest in the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
