Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The Jack Frost strain grows taller than most so carving out a grow site with lots of headroom is a must. Standing at over 6 feet tall when fully grown you are going to need an outdoor grow where the sky’s the limit or an indoor grow with high ceilings. You could even use a tent as long as the tent is 7 or more feet above floor level. The strain is known for being low-maintenance and also resilient, resistant to mold and disease, thriving in most environments. Jack Frost is one of the unique strains that actually requires a mild, cool climate as opposed to hot, humid environments like many other strains require. You can grow this strain outdoors almost anywhere. The grow cycle for this particular strain is pretty average, but it is the hand-off approach you can take to this bud that makes it feel shorter than most.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Jack Frost plants will perform great in a cooler environment. Ideal growing conditions for Jack Frost plants require a temperature range between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. To maximize your yield and THC content you are going to want to stick to a strict 12 hours on 12 hours off light cycle. This cycle will trigger the plant into its flowering stage without much effort on your part.
• Moisture control: The humidity needed to grow the Jack Frost strain is ideally, around 50-60% during the vegetative stage. Drop the humidity to 40-50% when approaching the flowering stage. This will keep mold and mildew off of your dense buds.
• Training Techniques: Jack Frost plants can be trained using Topping and Low-Stress Training techniques. These techniques will help your plants get adequate light from top to bottom. Pruning off any yellow or dying leaves is crucial to ensure each individual bud gets the right light to grow into a healthy, smokable bud come harvest time.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest

• Flowering Time: With an indoor grow you can expect the Jack Frost strain to harvest after its flowering stage of 9-11 weeks. If you planted outside then you can expect to harvest in October, so make sure that you plant them with that time frame in mind
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce over 550 grams per plant. Both indoor and outdoor yields are larger than average. The longer flowering time is what helps improve yield size and will leave you with dense, rich buds that are worth the near three month waiting period.
