Humidity and Temperature

The 12 Year OG strain requires a warm environment to grow and produce high-quality buds. This hybrid strain prefers temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Like its parent Kush, it prefers a relative humidity of 45%-65% to avoid bud rot. Start with high humidity of around 80% when the seed is germinating. Gradually decrease the humidity and taper off at about 50% RH in the final weeks of growth.

The buds are arrow-shaped with beautiful light green nugs with tiny orange hairs and crystal white trichomes, which gives the strain its orange crystalline appearance.
