Aspen OG Seeds

Growing Tips for Aspen OG

Growing Aspen OG seeds can be done by both novice and experienced cannabis cultivators. The process is straightforward, and a warm, sunny 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 — such as those found in British Columbia, Ontario, and parts of the Prairie provinces — 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 an excellent 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 18–29 degrees Celsius. 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 feminised strain is 18–20 hours to ensure the proper period 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 carry 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: Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. If these yields seem modest, you can always grow multiple plants at a time — within the legal limit of four plants per household for personal use — because of Aspen OG's short stature. Growing multiple plants can meaningfully increase your overall yield without exerting too much extra effort.
• 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 flavour and aroma.
• Pinene: Pine-Like Flavour – Found most commonly in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene can also be found in several cannabis strains.
