Growing Tips for Blue Alien

Blue Alien is an easy strain to grow, even if it is your first time cultivating cannabis. If you are looking for a strain to help grow your green thumb, then Blue Alien is a solid choice. Blue Alien cannabis plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the horticulturist's ability to control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to that of a warm Mediterranean climate. Blue Alien produces long, dusty Indica buds that are rich in colour and resinous trichomes. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow small to medium in height and only reach a maximum outdoor height of approximately 1.8 metres. Indoors, the plants should stay around 0.9–1.2 metres tall, making them easy to trim and prune. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 20–29°C. Humidity levels should be kept at 30–60% during the vegetative stage and slowly decreased into the flowering stage of growth. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and temperature are maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Pruning, Low-Stress Training (LST), and the Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods are the best training techniques for this specific strain of cannabis. Each of these methods will control the size of the plant while also removing dead branches and buds. These methods help create an even grow, allowing sunlight and air to reach the lower levels of the plant. The Blue Alien strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage and help take this plant from flowering to harvest without other major changes.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blue Alien strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50–60 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. These yields are solid considering how easy the plants are to grow and how short the flowering time is compared to other similar strains of cannabis.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers in Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Blue Alien: Out of This World Flavour

The Blue Alien 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 pinene are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – The "Mother of all Terpenes", myrcene has an earthy and rich flavour and aroma profile when found in cannabis plants.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene - Pinene is commonly found in pine needles, conifer trees, and cannabis plants and gives off a pine-like taste and smell.
• Limonene: Fresh Citrus - Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is known for helping to decrease anxiety and can improve lung function when found in cannabis.
