Growing Tips for Amethyst Seeds

Amethyst seeds are easy to grow, even if you don't have a ton of experience bringing cannabis to harvest. When planning your grow, you will need to consider that these plants grow taller than most, especially outdoors. This strain thrives in warm, sunny conditions similar to those found in British Columbia and southern Ontario during the summer months. Indoor growers will need nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting, and the correct humidity and temperature to produce favourable yields. Providing a consistent temperature range of 18-26 degrees Celsius and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 40% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm climate to produce bud-rich plants. Use Low-stress training (LST), topping, and High-stress training (HST) methods to help increase your yields come harvest time. Each of these techniques requires routine maintenance to ensure you reach the highest yields possible. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will get you through the flowering stage of growth and into your harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Amethyst strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. For first-time growers, these yields are quite impressive. The buds on these plants are huge and rich in THC and should provide the grower with plenty of potent cannabis once the nuggets are harvested.
• Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest towards the end of October.

Amethyst Terpenes: Sweet and Sour

The Amethyst 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 caryophyllene, linalool, and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Often called the "Mother of all Terpenes", myrcene gives cannabis its earthy and woody flavour and aroma.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – This terpene provides a spicy and peppery flavour and aroma when found in cannabis. You can also find it in black pepper and cinnamon.
• Linalool: Key Player - Adds to the calming effects of cannabis. Linalool can be found in several different cannabis varieties.
• Limonene: Citrus Notes - This terpene is commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits and can help with anxiety as well as improve lung function.
