Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: 501st OG cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative stage, utilize an 18-to 20-hour light schedule. Changing to a 12/12 light schedule will induce the flowering stage of growth and get you all the way to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 65% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 55% or lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training or LST, Sea of Green, and topping are the best methods for this strain. These methods help adjust the plant’s leaves so that ample light and air can reach the bottom of the plant. It also helps to increase yield numbers to reach their full potential.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the 501st OG strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoor growers should be ready for harvest sometime near the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. Considering how small these plants tend to grow, you could reasonably grow more than one plant and double or triple your yields. Growing your plants outdoors will lead to bigger yields, but not by a lot.
