Outdoors in a Puerto Rican summer

Summer in Puerto Rico presents one of the biggest challenges for cannabis cultivation, but also a unique opportunity to develop strong, aromatic plants. Our tropical climate offers excellent sunlight, although the high temperatures and humidity require growers to pay constant attention to the environment.

One of the most common mistakes during this season is overwatering. Although the heat is intense, too much water can cause root problems and encourage harmful fungi. Therefore, many growers on the island use more aerated substrates and improve ventilation to maintain a healthy environment.

Good air circulation is essential in Puerto Rico. Crops without proper ventilation can quickly accumulate moisture, especially at night. It's also important to protect plants from excessive heat by using shade netting and watering early in the morning.

Despite the challenges, the Puerto Rican summer can produce flowers with intense aromatic profiles and unique Caribbean characteristics. The cannabis culture in Puerto Rico continues to grow and develop its own identity, based on adaptation, observation, and respect for the plant. Growing on the island means learning to work with tropical nature, not against it.
