Growing Information
Mercury OG can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with a flowering time of approximately 8 weeks (56 days). The strain appears to be moderately challenging to grow and may require some experience for optimal results. Based on similar OG strains, it likely prefers warm, sunny conditions with temperatures between 70-80°F during the day. Indoor cultivation requires proper temperature and humidity control, with humidity levels around 50-60% during vegetative stage and 40-50% during flowering. Plants may require regular support during flowering due to bud weight and can be susceptible to pests and diseases if not properly managed. The strain produces dense, resinous buds and may have a strong odor requiring proper ventilation and odor control measures.
