Growing South Indian
Growing South Indian fits shorter outdoor seasons, Pacific Northwest, New England, Great Lakes, where 7-9 week flowering finishes ahead of October rains. South Indian is photoperiod, which means you control when it flowers by switching from 18/6 (vegetative) to 12/12 (flowering). Most indoor growers veg for 4-6 weeks before the flip. Indoor yields land around up to 350 g/m2 under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce up to 400 g/plant. Expected plant height is 3-4 Ft. Medium, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: maintain canopy airflow with an oscillating fan moving air through the leaves, not just above them, to prevent powdery mildew; and flush nutrients in the final 10-14 days for cleaner flavor; trichomes finish properly even on plain pH-adjusted water. The most common challenge growers report is calcium and magnesium supplementation under bright LED lighting; cal-mag at 2-3 mL/gal from week 2 prevents the most common deficiency.
