Growing Tips for Alien Technology Seeds
Alien Technology can be grown by first-time growers looking for a potent strain to add to their daily routines. The strain performs well in cooler climates because of its history in the Hindu Kush mountain regions of Afghanistan. The strain requires less maintenance than most and can be left alone and still grow successfully. Providing ample lighting, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 68-78 degrees Fahrenheit, and ensuring relative humidity levels stay between 40-50% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, semi-humid climate similar to the Middle Eastern regions where some cannabis grows naturally. Due to the plant’s size and structure, implementing the Sea of Green (SOG) method can increase yield, as this technique promotes more bud production in less space and in a shorter time frame. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18 hours of light each day. This strain is an auto flowering strain and does not require a change in light cycle to induce the flowering stage.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Alien Technology strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 250 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams per plant. Considering how small this strain grows, you could theoretically grow multiple plants in the same area and double or triple your yields. If it is your first time growing cannabis, you might want to stick with one plant and see how that goes before branching out.
- Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest from about the beginning to the middle of October
Alien Technology Terpenes: Spicy Diesel
The Alien Technology terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while limonene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.
- Myrcene: Most Dominant – Often called the “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy and woodsy flavor and aroma.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – This terpene is most commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits as well as cannabis plants.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Caryophyllene, known for being spicy and peppery, can be found in cloves and cinnamon.
