Growing Tips for Our Seeds

As stated above, Panama Red can be tricky for first time cultivators. Luckily, we have done the research and know exactly what to expect from this somewhat temperamental plant. Panama Red takes its time when it comes to flowering and harvest. The plants are beautiful and the yields are favorable though, so it is well-worth the work.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions
