Flo OG Feminised

Can I grow Flo OG outdoors in New Zealand? Absolutely. This 71/29 indica is well-suited to the New Zealand outdoor season running October through April. The compact growth habit means it will not tower above your fence line, and the dense flower structure packs serious weight into a manageable frame. Flowering takes approximately 65 days (indoor), placing your harvest window squarely in March or April for most New Zealand latitudes.

What kind of yield should I realistically expect? We do not publish a per-strain yield figure for this cultivar, so treat any number you see elsewhere with caution. Yield depends far more on your lighting, pot size, feeding and training than on genetics alone. At 23% THC and a myrcene-forward terpene profile, the quality-to-effort ratio makes Flo OG genuinely worthwhile.

Is this strain forgiving for newer growers? Reasonably so. A grower with basic knowledge of pH, feeding schedules, and light cycles will manage fine. It is not the most forgiving plant if you neglect it entirely, but it will not collapse at the first missed watering either.

What growing medium works best for this strain? For maximum flavour complexity, organic soil blended with 30% perlite and enriched with slow-release amendments (blood and bone, rock phosphate, kelp meal — all readily available at Bunnings or your local hydro shop). For maximum yield, coco coir with automated fertigation at EC 1.4-1.8 during bloom. Both approaches produce excellent results with this indica genetics.

How does it handle a humid New Zealand autumn? The dense foliage provides natural self-shading, which helps. Above 35°C, growth slows noticeably but the plant does not collapse. Mulching the root zone and watering in the early morning (before 7am) prevents heat stress in most parts of the country.

When should I start feeding bloom nutrients? Within the first week of visible pistil formation. This cultivar's 71/29 genetics shifts its nutritional demand rapidly at the transition. Phosphorus and potassium uptake increases noticeably, whilst nitrogen demand drops. An organic top-dress of bat guano and sulphate of potash works well for soil growers; hydro and coco growers should switch to a bloom-ratio formula (low N, high PK) immediately.

Indoor or outdoor — which is better for this strain? Both work. Indoor gives you control over the approximately 65 days (indoor) environment. Outdoor in the New Zealand growing season (October-April) lets the plant reach its full potential with natural sunlight intensity that even expensive LEDs struggle to match. Flowering: approximately 65 days (indoor). Rated intermediate difficulty.

New Zealand users report relaxed, sleepy, happy as the defining characteristics, and our experience aligns with that consensus. At 23% THC, this indica sits in a potency bracket where dosage control genuinely matters. A single bowl in a vaporiser at 185°C produces a manageable, pleasant body relaxation with intact mental function — perfect for winding down after a long day in the summer sun. Increasing the dose shifts the experience firmly towards physical sedation, and many users find this their preferred nighttime cultivar during the cooler months. The Myrcene/Humulene terpene combination imparts a flavour that lingers on the palate — earthy and slightly sweet with a fruit-like finish.

Ideal settings: quiet evenings, film nights, post-exercise recovery, and sleep preparation.

Primary: Myrcene · Secondary: Humulene · Tertiary: Linalool. Together these three compounds construct an aromatic signature that evolves throughout the curing process. Freshly dried flower leads with myrcene presence, but after three to four weeks in sealed glass jars at 16-18°C, the linalool undertone strengthens and the overall bouquet develops a layered complexity. Vaporisation between 180°C and 195°C captures the broadest spectrum of these terpenes — higher temperatures degrade the more volatile linalool molecules first.

Flo OG suits growers with fundamental skills already established. You should understand pH management, basic nutrient ratios, and light cycle requirements before committing to this cultivar — it will not hold your hand, but it will not punish minor mistakes harshly either. Photoperiod genetics give you complete control over plant size and harvest timing — extend the vegetative phase for larger plants or flip early for a quicker turnaround in compact spaces. The New Zealand growing season (October through April) accommodates the approximately 65 days (indoor) bloom period comfortably for outdoor growers in the warmer northern regions.
