Dancehall Seeds

Growing Tips for Dancehall

Dancehall is best grown by intermediate-level cannabis growers. Dancehall 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 the climate of the Mediterranean. Dancehall cannabis seeds grow into plants with deep purple buds that are covered in resinous trichomes. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for 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 put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow medium to tall in height and can reach around 3-8 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 8 feet, they require a grow space with ample headroom. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30-50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Sea of Green (SOG), Screen of Green (ScrOG), topping, and Low-stress training (LST) methods will get these plants to a healthy harvest. If performed correctly, these techniques will help to increase the total yields and bud production. Each method will alter the canopy so that light and air reach the lowest buds on the plant and will also reinforce the heaviest bud sites. The Dancehall 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 induce the flowering stage of growth and help to carry the plants to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Dancehall strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams per plant. Once these plants are ready to harvest, you will be flush with bright purple buds packed with delicious flavor.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Dancehall: Sweet Flowery Earth

The Dancehall 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 myrcene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - This spicy and peppery terpene can be found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and some cannabis cultivars.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene - Known as the “Mother of All Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis plants their earthy flavor and aroma.
• Pinene: Conifer Trees - Commonly found in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene gives cannabis its pine-like, earthy flavor and aroma.
