Growing Tips for Copper Kush

Copper Kush is popular among first-time growers because of how easy it is to cultivate. Copper Kush marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to a warm Mediterranean climate. Copper Kush cannabis seeds grow into plants with cone-shaped buds that are bright green and coated in a layer of trichomes. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables — particularly useful across many Canadian regions where weather can be unpredictable. These plants grow to a medium height and can reach around 90–120 centimetres. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of approximately 120 centimetres, you can grow these plants successfully in several different smaller grow areas. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 18–29 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30–70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity gradually each week will help this plant thrive. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping and low-stress training (LST) methods will benefit the growth of this strain. These methods help light and air reach the lower levels of the plant, creating an even grow. The Copper Kush strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Copper Kush strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 250 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Even though the yields are smaller than most, the grow and flowering period make the yields totally worth it.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Copper Kush: Earthy and Pungent

The Copper Kush cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while humulene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - Known in the cannabis world as the spicy and peppery terpene, caryophyllene can also be found in cinnamon and black pepper.
• Humulene: Secondary Terpene - Commonly found in beer with higher hop content, this terpene gives cannabis an earthy fragrance and flavour.
• Limonene: Sweet Citrus - Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene is what gives cannabis plants their citrus flavour and aroma.
