Growing
The good news is that this strain can be grown either indoor or outdoor. However, it does need some level of experience to successfully cultivate.
Cultivating the Mob Boss indoor should offer a shorter flowering time, especially when using the Sea of Green (SOG) method. Due to the usual limitations of growing space, it would be a good idea to top early and keep the plant height to around 4 feet.
For growers who are fortunate to have an outdoor area, a Mediterranean climate with temperature in the range of 70 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimal environment for this strain to grow.
After successfully cultivating, growers should cure the harvested buds properly to preserve its potency and flavor. The curing process lasts around 7 days with the buds hanging upside down. Be sure to maintain a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity to 50% RH for best results.
After the curing process, the buds can now be placed inside wide-mouthed jars.
