Cultivar Details:
Plant physiology: Broad leafed Afghanica dominant variety, very easy to grow with a great structure, needs very little support.
Yield: Depending on cultivation methods and level of crop control, yields should range between 30 to 65 grams per square foot.
Flowering time: 56 to 60 days on most phenotypes
Ideal lighting: Medium to heavy intensity, on par with most commercially produced varieties.
Ideal temperature: Crickets and Cicada Seeds grows its plants at 78° to 80° F throughout most of the crop’s lifecycle, dropping to about 70° F in the last two weeks.
Ideal humidity: 70% relative humidity (RH) throughout the vegetative growth and most of flower, reducing to 50% RH in the last two weeks, in line with the drop in temperature. Reducing light intensity will help the plant transition without stress. Lower RH and temperature levels during the final maturation stage slows down the degradation of terpenes and enhances flavor and shelf life of the harvested flowers.
Water needs: Moderate to heavy. Lazy Dog has a vigorous structure and growth cycle that benefits from consistent irrigation at a moderately high EC.
Nutrient needs: Moderately heavy eater, can handle high spikes in EC but would prefer to be kept in a consistent middle range once in flower, tapering off toward the end of its lifecycle.
Susceptibility to disease: Shows extreme resistance to powdery mildew and strong resistance to insects.
Cannabinoid profile: THC content typically 25% to 28%
Terpene profile: Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and humulene. Earthy, citrus, peppery, funky, herbal, musky. Hints of spray paint in some cultivars, and some have hints of sour diesel.
