Aurora Borealis Seeds

Growing Tips for Aurora Borealis

Growing Aurora Borealis seeds can be completed by novice cannabis cultivators. The process is simple, and a temperate climate with ample sunshine, warmth, and the right amount of humidity is preferred, as each of these is an important ingredient to a healthy grow. This particular strain is super 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 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 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 21–29 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels of approximately 40–50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 30–40% during the flowering stage, will ensure a healthy grow. To boost yield potential, experienced growers often use: Low-Stress Training (LST) and Screen of Green, 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 Aurora Borealis 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 Aurora Borealis strain to reach harvest after a flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 600 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. These yields are massive, and considering the popularity and potency of this strain, you should be very pleased with the amount of harvested cannabis you will be left with after this grow.
• Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.

Aurora Borealis: Skunky Sweet

The Aurora Borealis 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 myrcene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The "spicy and peppery" terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene - 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.
