How to Grow CBD Shark
Everything you need to know to grow CBD Shark successfully — from seed to harvest.
Pro Tips
- Ideal for medical growers who want a predictable, easy-to-manage plant
- Responds well to light defoliation in mid-veg to improve airflow
- Keep pH between 6.0–6.5 in soil for optimal CBD expression
- Avoid high-nitrogen feeds late in flower — can reduce CBD potency
- Harvest slightly later (when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber) for maximum CBD
- Dry slowly at 60°F / 60% humidity for best medicinal quality
Indoor Growing
- Compact indica structure — perfect for low-ceiling grow spaces
- Responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) setups for maximum efficiency
- Expect 350–450g/m² indoors under 600W lighting
- Keep temperatures slightly cooler (18–22°C) to enhance CBD terpene profile
Outdoor Growing
- Harvest in late September in Canadian climates
- Resistant to mould and pests — great for outdoor medical gardens
- Can yield 400–500g per plant outdoors in full sun
- Companion planting with basil and lavender can deter pests naturally
