Growing Information
Aliens On Moonshine is considered moderately challenging to grow, requiring some experience for optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (55-65 days) and grows into short, bushy plants typically reaching 60-80 inches in height. It performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring warmer climates similar to California or Nevada. Indoor yields average around 350 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 350 grams per plant. The strain requires specific environmental conditions including temperatures of 70-80°F and humidity levels of 65-70% for seedlings, dropping to 40-50% during flowering. Due to its dense buds, the strain is susceptible to powdery mildew and bud rot, requiring proper air circulation and humidity control. Low-stress training (LST) and defoliation techniques are recommended to maximize yields. The plants respond well to topping for bushier growth and benefit from nutrient boosts during vegetation for better branch development.
