Are you just starting out on your cannabis cultivation journey?
Cereal Milk Feminized seeds are a great choice for new growers and experienced gardeners alike! The super stable genetics produce reliable results time and again, with Cereal Milk plants offering not only bumper yields, but high resistance to a wide range of issues that can (and sometimes will) plague cannabis crops.
The flowering growth stage usually runs for around 8 to 9 weeks.
Should I Grow Cereal Milk Feminized Seeds Indoors or Outdoors?
Either! This strain is a great option for both thanks the almost perfect hybrid split of Indica and Sativa genetics, the high resistance to pests and fungal issues, and the ease of cultivation.
Growing Cereal Milk Feminized Seeds Indoors
If you are looking to add Cereal Milk feminized to your indoor grow tent or room, we recommend using an LED panel as your main lighting rig and running either a full hydroponic setup or using coco-coir as your main growing media.
It's best not to overcrowd the indoor grow area when cultivating Cereal Milk, as the growth pattern for most phenos is quite bushy. Climatic control is also key, with perfect indoor conditions sitting at around the 78°F mark for the majority of the grow, and the relative humidity dropping from 65% during the first few weeks to 45% for the end of the flowering growth phase.
Benefits
Growing Cereal Milk seeds indoors has several benefits, including:
- Growers can manage the temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation in the grow tent or room, ensuring Cereal Milk plants thrive.
- You may boost the production and potency of your buds by using training techniques like topping, LST, fimming, super cropping, and SOG.
- Cultivators can harvest their Cereal Milk plants faster since they blossom in 8-10 weeks inside vs 10-12 weeks outdoors.
Any drawbacks of growing Cereal Milk Strain seeds indoors?
Here are some drawbacks growers can encounter when producing Cereal Milk indoors:
- Indoor growing requires additional equipment, such as grow lights, trays, and pots. It also requires adequate space to accommodate Cereal Milk plants.
- Transplanting seedlings from indoor to outdoor environments can cause transplant shock, which can negatively impact the growth of the plants.
Growing Cereal Milk Feminized Seeds Outdoors
Cereal Milk feminized explodes in both height and width when grown outdoors in the right climate. Perfect for large areas of both America and Europe, but be sure to get the seeds in the ground (or pots) nice and early for the best possible yield.
If you are growing in either soil or coco-coir outdoors, make sure you have a minimum pot size of around 8 to 10 gallons.
Pros
The advantages of producing Cereal Milk Seeds outdoors are:
- Outdoor growing can result in a larger yield than indoor growing, as the Cereal Milk plants have more space to grow and can receive more natural light.
- Cultivating Cereal Milk strain seeds outdoors can be less expensive than indoors, as they don't require additional equipment such as grow lights and trays.
- Growing Cereal Milk seeds outdoors allows the plants to grow in their natural environment, leading to healthier and more robust plants.
Cons
Some of the disadvantages of cultivating Cereal Milk weed seeds outside, include:
- Outdoor environment offers less control over the elements, like humidity, temp, and light exposure, which can lead to lower germination rates and other issues.
- Your Cereal Milk outdoor plants are subject to weather conditions like wind, rain, and extreme temps, which can negatively impact their growth.
How Much Do Feminized Cereal Milk Seeds Yield?
That really does come down to the environmental conditions, your skill as a cultivator, and what pheno you land from your Cereal Milk pack - but, on average, you can expect around 12 and 14 oz. per square meter when grown indoors, or up to 2 pounds plus for outdoor monsters.
How to Get Better Yields From Your Cereal Milk Feminized Seeds
From choosing the appropriate equipment, implementing training techniques correctly (and at the right time), ensuring the pH and EC regulation is on point, using top-shelf nutrients, and keeping away all of the nasty little critters that can wreak havoc on a cannabis crop - there are a whole bunch of factors that go into getting the best yields from any strain...
Read on to see our best tips and tricks to boost your Cereal Milk Feminized yield.
The Best Grow Medium for Cereal Milk Seeds
Choosing the right substrate for your garden really relies on what your desired outcome is, and how you like to grow...
For the best yield sizes, hydroponics will almost always be the right option, but hydro comes with a whole host of potential issues that can crop up if not managed correctly, and the initial setup difficulty and the costs are higher than other options.
Organic soil farmers will still enjoy huge yield sizes with Cereal Milk Feminized seeds, and the final product may be a little more interesting in terms of aroma and flavor. Soil-grown Cereal Milk seeds are also a great option for outdoor cultivators.
But so is Coco-coir. This wonder substrate is an excellent medium for growing Cereal Milk Feminized and is the option we most regularly recommend for newer cultivators looking to dip their toes into the hydroponic world.
What is coco-coir, and why is it a great growing medium?
Coco-coir is made from the fiber of coconut husks, and can hold up to 7 times its own weight in water while also offering much higher levels of root zone oxygenation and drainage than traditional soil blends. Coco-coir is the perfect middle ground between soil and hydroponic cultivation styles and can help you grow bigger buds with very little extra effort.
The Best Climate for Cereal Milk Feminized Seeds
This hardy, robust strain will grow well in a pretty wide range of climatic conditions, but for the fastest and strongest growth outdoors, you’re looking for constant temperate days and nights throughout your growing season (68 - 86°F with 60% relative humidity for the seedling and vegetative growth stages, and a little lower moisture when flowering growth fully kicks in).
This hybrid strain tends to thrive in a warm, dry climate where it can receive plenty of sunlight and avoid excess moisture.
Problems to Look Out For When Growing Feminized Cereal Milk Seeds
Like all cannabis plants, Cereal Milk Feminized seeds can encounter a range of issues during their lifetime. The most common issues that novice growers usually run into are overfeeding and over-watering, and this makes perfect sense.
More food + more water = more buds, right?
Wrong!
In fact, often the opposite is true. When it comes to feeding and watering, less really is more for your Cereal Milk strain plants, especially in the first month or so. By letting the soil or coco-coir dry out between waterings, you encourage the root system to grow out and become more fibrous, resulting in a much healthier plant with increased nutrient uptake efficiency. Also, always start out with around 1/3 to 1.2 of the recommended nutrient doses and then begin to slowly increase them to reduce any chances of nutrient toxicity.
Nutrient deficiencies are also something to be aware of, and so is the correct pH range for your style of cultivation. Always ensure that the pH range is between 5.5 to 6.5 for coco and hydro, or 6.0 to 7.0 for soil. That means pH regulating all water and nutrient solution you are providing to the crop and checking the EC or TDS to make sure it is correct. You should also be doing regular pH checks of the runoff from the pots, so you have a clear idea of the pH range in the root zone.
Then we have fungal and pest issues. While Cereal Milk Feminized does come with high levels of natural resistance to most of these annoyances, there is no guarantee that your crop will be completely safe.
Always keep an eye out for signs of powdery mildew, and use a preventative neem oil spray program to make sure no problems arise. Food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) is another great pest prevention tool that can cheaply and easily be added to any grow room or garden.
Additionally, make sure your grow space is well-ventilated, as this will also help reduce the chances of fungal infestations. Certain training techniques can massively boost the air exchange in the plant canopy, but more on this a little further down.
