Growing Tips for Godfather Purple Kush
Godfather Purple Kush is a tricky strain to grow for novice and virgin cultivators, so make sure you have prior experience if you want to bring this strain to harvest. Godfather Purple Kush 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. Godfather Purple Kush cannabis seeds grow into green and vibrant purple plants with smaller buds packed with potent THC.
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 from short to medium and can reach around 3-5 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of less than 5 feet, these plants can grow to completion in smaller grow setups like closets and balconies.
The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30-60% 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.
Topping, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST manipulates the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. Topping is the best way to control the plant’s height so it can remain manageable. ScrOG can be used to reinforce the heavier bud sites on the plant. The Godfather Purple Kush strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Godfather Purple Kush 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 450 grams per plant. While the yields aren’t massive, they are full of the most vibrant purple buds you have ever seen.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
