Growing Cactus
Growing Cactus fits long-season outdoor zones — Southern Ontario, the BC Interior, and Okanagan Valley — where the extra 2-3 weeks of finishing time is available. Cactus is photoperiod, which means you control when it flowers by switching from 18/6 (vegetative) to 12/12 (flowering). Most indoor growers veg for 4-6 weeks before the flip. Indoor yields land around 450-550 g/m² under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce 500-700 g/plant. Expected plant height is 120-180 cm, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: maintain canopy airflow with an oscillating fan moving air through the leaves, not just above them, to prevent powdery mildew; and top once at the 4th node to encourage 4-6 even main colas instead of one dominant cola. The most common challenge growers report is over-feeding nitrogen past week 1 of flower — switch to bloom nutrients within 7 days of seeing pistils.
