Barring the ability to grow Maui Wowie in the tropics, this tall, leggy strain loves bright light and rich, nutritious soil. A warm climate is best for this strain, so growing during the hotter months of summer is best. However, when growing inside, keeping a steady Pacific-Like feel in the grow room can offer the best yield.

When grown inside, it has a flowering time of 9 weeks, but outdoor growers will likely find that early to mid-October is the perfect harvest time. It is highly resistant to pests and diseases, which makes it a hearty selection for those that don’t want to use pesticides.
