El Patron

El Patron is a relatively easy strain, but it delivers its best results with a good supply of nutrients and care.

Basic information:

Bloom time: 8-9 weeks

Yield: Medium to high (Indoor: 450-550 g/m² | Outdoor: Up to 600 g/plant)

Climate: Prefers a temperate, warm climate

Difficulty: Medium

Growing tips:

✅ Optimise air circulation: To avoid mould, good ventilation is particularly important during the flowering phase

✅ Apply training: Techniques such as LST or topping help to maximise growth

✅ Target nutrients: Especially in the flowering phase, El Patron needs potassium and phosphorus

✅ Harvest time: Trichomes should be milky white with slightly amber-coloured tips for the best results

1️⃣ Germination:

Germinate seeds in moist paper towel (approx. 22-25°C).

Plant in soil or a suitable medium after 1-3 days.

2️⃣ Vegetation phase (4-6 weeks):

Light cycle (indoor): 18-20 hours of light daily.

Water the plant regularly and start the first fertiliser applications.

Use training techniques such as LST or topping to maximise growth.

3️⃣ Bloom phase (8-9 weeks):

Switch the light cycle to 12/12 hours (indoors).

Reduce humidity to 40-50%.

Add potassium and phosphorus fertiliser to support flower development.

4️⃣ Harvesting & drying:

Check trichomes with a magnifying glass - milky with a slight amber colour indicates optimum harvest time.

Dry buds upside down (approx. 7-10 days).

After drying, leave to cure in jars for 2-4 weeks to optimise flavour and potency.
