Photoperiod (feminized) cannabis plants flower in response to light cycle changes (12hrs light/12hrs darkness). They grow larger than autoflowers, produce higher yields, and allow more time for training techniques.
Malta's Mediterranean climate offers excellent conditions for cannabis cultivation, with abundant sunshine and mild winters. The key is managing the intense summer heat and occasional humidity spikes.
For outdoor growing, plant after the last frost (usually March) and harvest before autumn rains (October-November). Indoor growers can maintain year-round cycles with proper climate control.
Malta's tap water can be high in minerals. Consider using filtered water or letting tap water sit for 24 hours before use. During summer, water early morning or evening to prevent rapid evaporation.
