Ether
Also known as: Alien Dawg "Ether" Cut, Ether Cut
Overview
Ether is generally referred to as Alien Dawg ("Ether" cut), representing one of the more sought after phenotypes of the indica-dominant hybrid Alien Dawg, which was sourced initially from the selectively bred variant of Alien Dawg. This indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain maintains a genetic composition of 70% indica and 30% sativa, renowned for its potent effects and used effectively for managing various chronic conditions. The parent strain Alien Dawg descends from Northern California and Afghanistan genetics, created as a cross between Chemdawg and Alien Technology. Bred by The Cali Connection, this dense strain presents pale green coloration with yellow hues from its crystals.
Ether buds present a robust and eye-catching appearance, featuring large, dense structures that resemble miniature pinecones, adorned with yellowish-green leaves and rust-colored pistils, reflecting its potent genetic lineage primarily derived from the renowned Alien Dawg. The buds are generously coated with crystal trichomes, giving them a frosty look that hints at their high THC content. The development of Ether was influenced by the growing demand for strains with high THC content and specific flavor profiles—violet, nutty, and flowery—with breeders focusing on these aspects to cater to both medicinal and recreational users seeking a unique and effective cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Growers should prepare for a moderately challenging endeavor, as these tall ladies require quite a bit of topping and pruning to keep everything in check, while LST helps provide optimal airflow and light penetration to low-hanging branches. Motivated growers can expect generous yields of up to 500g/m², following around 9 weeks of flowering. Ether develops into short, bushy, indica-characteristic plants with broad fan leaves and compact nugs. The strain prefers cold climates and benefits from regular pruning, encouraging airflow and light penetration to the plant's lower branches. Ether flowers in 49 to 63 days indoors and late September outdoors. In ideal conditions, it produces approximately 12 ounces of bud per plant, though yields can be boosted with Sea of Green (SOG) training. Ether Strain is considered moderately challenging to grow and is best suited for growers with some experience due to its specific needs regarding climate and nutrient management.
