⚠ Basil is a frost-sensitive annual plant! Only move outdoors after last frost (mid-May).

Cannabis does not follow a monthly sowing calendar – instead, it follows a 14-week cultivation programme based on growth phases (Vegetative, Bloom, Finish).

For indoor growing, the growth period is controlled by the light cycle – a calendar-based sowing schedule does not apply. The SHIVA Master Pack contains nutrients for all phases of the 14-week cycle.
