Alpine Star Seeds

Growing Tips for Alpine Star Seeds

Alpine Star is a fairly difficult strain of cannabis to grow. If you don't have any prior experience, you could have trouble getting Alpine Star to harvest. Intermediate to master level growers shouldn't have any issue hitting the desired yields of this strain. The strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, with cultivators saying it grows best indoors. The plants tend to be bushy but not very tall, making them easy to train. Providing ample lighting, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 20-25 degrees Celsius, and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 40-50% 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 Alpine Star strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. These yields are a welcomed reward for a job well done. This strain is tricky to master, but if you do, you will have a powerfully potent strain of cannabis at your fingertips every time you grow it.
• Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest from about the beginning to the middle of October.

Alpine Star Terpenes: Minty Taste

The Alpine Star 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 flavour and aroma.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Most commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene reduces anxiety and improves lung function.
• Caryophyllene: Peppery and Spicy - Caryophyllene can be found in black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves, as well as cannabis.
