Growing Information
White Lightning has a flowering time of 8 weeks (56-66 days) and grows best in hydroponic systems combined with sea of green environments. This strain is considered excellent for beginning growers due to its relatively simple cultivation requirements. While not the quickest strain to mature, it produces trichome-rich buds with powerful aromas and yields that are worth the wait. The plant grows well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it benefits from some experience in plant cultivation and requires moderate tending. For optimal results, growers should use hydroponics combined with the Sea of Green training method.
