How to grow Russian Doll seeds: a streamlined guide

Quick overview: A feminized photoperiod strain with a 58-day flowering time, ideal for indoor tents or sunny outdoor spots. It's low-difficulty and thrives with basic care.

Safe Start: Germinate in a warm (22–25°C / 71–77°F), humid environment. Once the taproot emerges, plant directly into its final pot (11–20 L / 2.9–5.3 gal) to avoid stunting this fast-growing plant. Using a rooting stimulator can give seedlings an explosive start.

Veg Growth: Maintain an 18/6 light cycle. This stage is where its vigorous structure forms. Keep temperatures between 22–26°C (72–79°F) and humidity around 60%. It can handle moderate feeding; don't overdo the nitrogen.

Flowering Switch: Flip to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering. You'll see a noticeable stretch. Lower humidity to 40–50% to prevent mold on the dense buds. Support may be needed for top-heavy colas late in flower.

Harvest & Cure: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced effect. After a 7–10 day flush, dry slowly (15–18°C, 50–60% RH) for 10–14 days, then cure for at least 2 weeks to develop its full woody-spice flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Its pest resistance, forgiving nature, and straightforward nutrient needs make it one of the best choices for beginners looking to achieve a successful, high-yielding first harvest.

How much training can Russian Doll handle?

It responds very well to Low-Stress Training (LST) and SCROG techniques due to its strong branches and vigorous growth. Topping is also possible during the vegetative stage to create multiple main colas.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Russian Doll in my personal garden for years, and it's my go-to recommendation for anyone who wants "set-it-and-forget-it" reliability with premium results. Outdoors, it's a beast—it just doesn't get sick, even when other plants around it might. The structure is fantastic; those thick stems mean you rarely need to tie anything up unless you're going for a monster yield. The smell during the last few weeks is unmistakably old-school: like opening a chest made of Russian oak. For beginners, I tell them to just give it a good light, don't over-love it with water, and watch it do its thing. For my own grows, I like to push it a bit more. I'll use a SCROG net to really maximize the canopy and feed it with a bloom booster during weeks 3-5 of flowering to get those buds extra dense. The high is exactly what I look for in a daytime strain: it lights up your mind without locking you to the couch. It's become a staple in my rotation for its consistency and that unique, woody flavor you just don't find in many modern hybrids.
