Growing Information
First 48 is suitable for cultivation indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The strain flowers in 8-10 weeks with medium-height plants that produce substantial yields of 500-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. It performs best with balanced NPK fertilizer and soil pH between 6.0-6.5. Training techniques such as low-stress training (LST) can improve light penetration and optimize yields. Hydroponic systems show 15-20% increased yield efficiency compared to soil growing. The strain is known for its pungent aroma during cultivation, so proper ventilation is recommended. Regular monitoring for pests and nutrient deficiencies is essential during growth cycles.
