Growing Information
Tahoe Alien is considered beginner-friendly and offers high resistance to mold and mildew, making it an excellent choice for novice growers. The plant structure is typically short and compact, making it ideal for indoor cultivation in tight spaces, though it can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates. Flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), with some growers extending to 9-10 weeks for increased density and potency. Indoor yields can reach up to 350g/m² (approximately 13 ounces), while outdoor plants can produce up to 450g per plant. The strain prefers temperatures between 68-78°F during the day with slightly cooler nights, and humidity should be controlled around 40-50% during flowering to prevent bud rot. Plants respond well to both soil and hydroponic systems, with hydroponics potentially increasing yield and allowing for more precise nutrient control. Training techniques such as pruning to create multiple dominant tops can significantly increase yields.
