Growing Tips for Alpha Blue Seeds
Alpha Blue is a tall, growing plant that is easy to grow even if it’s your first time cultivating cannabis. Standing at about 3 feet when fully grown, Alpha Blue can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Outdoor growers typically utilize a greenhouse to grow this strain as it is easier to control the climate and temperature within a greenhouse. Indoor growers should have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest. Alpha Blue is naturally resistant to pests, mold, and mildew. Providing ample lighting, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit, and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 50% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, semi-humid climate to produce bud-rich plants. Due to the plant’s size and structure, implementing topping and Low-stress Training (LST) methods can increase yields, as these methods promote more bud production in less space and in a shorter time frame. These methods also help to control the canopy, allowing more light and air to reach the lower levels of the plant. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you should switch the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Alpha Blue strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. For an easy grow, these yields are fantastic. First-time cultivators should rejoice in these numbers because of the high THC content and amount of resin-covered buds.
- Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest from about the beginning to the middle of October.
Alpha Blue Terpenes: Fruity Blueberries
The Alpha Blue 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 pinene 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.
- Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles, conifer trees, and cannabis, this terpene provides flavor and aroma.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Caryophyllene, known for being spicy and peppery, can be found in cloves and cinnamon.
