A.T.M.
Also known as: ATM, At The Moment
A.T.M. Strain Overview
A.T.M. (commonly abbreviated from 'At The Moment') is a predominantly indica cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. This strain emerged from a cross between the popular indica-dominant hybrid Grease Monkey and the potent indica strain Animal Cookies. The resulting cultivar combines the best traits of both parent strains, creating a robust plant with distinctive characteristics that has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The plant structure tends to be bushy with broad leaves, consistent with its indica heritage. A.T.M. is known for its pungent aroma profile that combines sweet, earthy notes with hints of diesel and citrus, creating a complex sensory experience.
A.T.M. has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its balanced effects and reliable performance. While primarily indica-dominant, some phenotypes may express slightly different characteristics depending on growing conditions and genetic expression. The strain has become particularly popular in legal markets across North America, where it is appreciated for its consistent quality and potent effects. Breeders continue to work with A.T.M. genetics, sometimes using it as a parent strain for new hybrid creations.

A.T.M. Strain Growing Information
A.T.M. is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) can help maximize light penetration and improve overall yield.
