Growing Tips for Our Seeds
These seeds will grow in a number of climates, including environments with colder weather. While it is an easy strain to grow, you will need to follow directions closely to get the desired results. To grow indoors use containers, good soil, and proper lighting to maintain a good growth. For outdoors, plant it in rich soil with protection from the cold. A greenhouse setup would be ideal for outdoor grows, especially if it gets chilly at night where you’re located. The plant itself can be a bit fragile so you’ll want to give it ample space to grow and create a strong root system underneath the nutrient rich soil.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Berner’s Cookies can be grown to harvest in a number of climates including areas with colder temps at night. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-78 degrees fahrenheit. Cookies plants are autoflowering so any light is good light. Once they hit the flowering stage you’ll want to shift to a 12 hours on and 12 hours off light cycle.
- Moisture control: The Berner’s Cookies strain requires humidity between 50-60% to really thrive. Drop the humidity level down a bit after the flowering stage has begun and keep it between 40-50% and watch those buds begin to grow bigger, stronger and more dense.
- Training Techniques: Berner’s Cookies benefits from the Sea of Green technique as well as high-stress training such as topping and fimming, both of which will increase your yields come harvest time.
