Growing Tips for Aspen OG
Growing Aspen OG seeds can be done by both novice and experienced cannabis cultivators. The process is simple, and a Mediterranean climate is preferred as it offers ample sunshine, warmth, and the right amount of humidity, each of which is an important ingredient to a healthy grow. This particular strain is somewhat easy to grow if you have an experienced green thumb. If you’ve never grown cannabis before, your best bet at getting this strain to harvest is to grow it either indoors or in a greenhouse, as it grows best in well-controlled conditions. An outdoor grow setup is doable for these plants in regions with long, warm summers, especially because the plants stay short throughout the grow, allowing cultivators to harvest multiple plants at a time. For those growing indoors, a hydroponic setup is the best choice because, once again, the plants grow best in a controlled environment. Maintaining the correct temperature and lighting is most important for these plants to reach their full potential. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels of approximately 40-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40% during the flowering stage, will ensure a healthy grow. To boost yield potential, experienced growers often use: Low-Stress Training (LST), which encourages horizontal growth for better light exposure. Topping is also a good technique as it changes the canopy to allow light to reach all levels of the plant. The light requirement for the Aspen OG feminized strain is 18-20 hours to ensure the proper time of growth. Because this strain is a photoperiod, it requires a change in the light cycle to move into the flowering stage. A 12/12 light cycle should get you through flowering and into harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Aspen OG strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. If these yields seem small, you can always grow multiple plants at a time because of Aspen OG’s short stature. Growing multiple plants will double or triple your yields without exerting too much extra energy.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the end of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
Aspen OG: A Taste of the Rockies
The Aspen OG 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 caryophyllene, while limonene, myrcene, and pinene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene in cannabis can help with anxiety and improve lung function.
- Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Pinene: Pine-Like Flavor – Found most commonly in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene can also be found in several cannabis strains.
