Growing Information
To grow Close Encounters, the Sea of Green (SOG) method is recommended. It can grow bushy due to its indica qualities so it is best to trim the leaves. Good airflow, keeping humidity low, and avoiding overwatering are also advised to avoid mold problems. The strain can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of approximately 75 days. The indica-dominant characteristics mean plants tend to be shorter and bushier, requiring proper leaf management for optimal light penetration and air circulation.
