Growing Tips for Alien Rock Candy Seeds

Alien Rock Candy can be grown by first-time growers as long as they follow a few simple rules and advice. The strain thrives well in both indoor and outdoor settings. Indoor cultivation is preferred because of the control you have over conditions. For indoor growing, hydroponics or soil can be used, though soil is recommended to better enhance the strain's flavour profile. Providing ample lighting, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 21-27 degrees Celsius, and ensuring relative humidity levels stay between 40-50% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, semi-humid climate, which can be achieved in many of Canada's warmer growing regions during the summer months. Outdoor grows give the plants a chance to grow taller than indoor grows. However, it poses potential threats to the plants in the form of mould, mildew, and pests, as well as changing weather conditions. Regular pruning is also necessary as this strain tends to bush out, and proper air circulation is essential to prevent mould or mildew development. 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 18-20 hours of light each day. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to shift to a 12/12 light cycle from the end of the vegetative stage and all the way to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Alien Rock Candy strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. These yields are quite remarkable, considering how easy this strain is to grow, even for first-time growers. You should be left with a pile of potent cannabis when all is said and done.
• Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest from about the beginning to the middle of October.
