Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Raspberry Cough Auto cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain of cannabis requires 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage. It does not require a change in the light cycle to induce flowering as it is an auto-flowering strain.

- Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 45-55% during the vegetative growth stage. Keeping your humidity levels around 40% through the flowering stage will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
