Alpen Gleaux
Alpen Gleaux
Also known as: Alpine Gleaux
Overview
Alpen Gleaux is a unique indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by High Alpine Genetics, developed through experimental breeding sessions that combined ruderalis genetics with classic indica genetics. The strain carries an intriguing legacy shrouded in mystery, as it was developed by a breeder known simply as 'Unknown or Legendary.' Early accounts trace its creation back to combining the robust qualities of ruderalis with the classic potency of indica genetics, specifically developed from Afghan Rose Auto crossed with Swiss Rose Auto, giving it a strong European heritage adapted to harsh high-altitude environments.
This autoflowering strain is renowned for its striking visual appeal, featuring some of the darkest purple buds available in the cannabis market. The buds are dense, compact, and heavily coated with crystalline trichomes, often displaying deep purple colors that can appear almost black after curing, contrasted by bright orange pistils. The strain expresses its genetic adaptation to harsh environments through consistent morphology and cannabinoid profiles across generations. As a CBD-rich hemp flower variety, it complies with the 2018 Farm Bill requirements while maintaining potent therapeutic properties and a complex terpene profile that makes it one of the most aromatic hemp varieties available.

Growing Information
Alpen Gleaux is an autoflowering variety that performs best when direct sowed into final container or the ground. The plant produces large buds and averages 80 days from germination to harvest. As an autoflower, it flowers based on age rather than light cycles, making it particularly attractive to cultivators looking to produce multiple harvests annually. For indoor growers, maintaining light cycles of 18 hours on and 6 hours off during the vegetative stage has proven effective. The strain exhibits genetic stability with consistent morphology and cannabinoid profiles across successive generations. It's considered easy to manage and is favored by both commercial and artisanal growers. The plant can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with growers advised to optimize lighting, temperature, and humidity levels to maximize the auto-flowering potential and robust yields.
