Alien Technology FV Strain Description
Alien Technology Fast Version is a fast-flowering, mostly Indica hybrid (90% Indica / 10% Sativa) created from Alien Technology × Auto genetics. It delivers medium THC levels of 16%–18% with low CBD at 0.2%, offering a strong, relaxing body high coupled with an uplifting cerebral kick. Plants remain compact around 4.92 ft (1.5 m) and finish their life cycle in 8–10 weeks, making them ideal for growers seeking speed and consistency.
The aroma is earthy, incense-like, sweet, and woody, driven by terpenes such as Alpha-Cedrene, Alpha-Terpineol, Borneol, Camphene, Citral, Delta-Limonene, Eugenol, Fenchol, Linalool, Nerolidol, Orange Terpenes, Phytol, and Terpinolene. Users report energetic, euphoric, and uplifted effects, as well as relief from fatigue, muscle spasms, and stress thanks to Myrcene, Humulene, and Limonene.

Growing Environment
Maintain indoor temperatures at 70–80 °F (21–27 °C) during lights-on and allow a 5° drop at night to mimic natural diurnal swings. During the vegetative stage, keep relative humidity at 60%–65%, then lower it to 40%–50% in flowering to protect buds from mold and to concentrate resin and terpenes.
Outdoors, plant in a location that receives full sun for at least six hours daily. Use well-draining soil enriched with compost or worm castings. Protect from strong winds with fences or hedges, and ensure good air circulation by spacing plants at least 3 ft (1 m) apart.
Setting Up Your Grow Space
Alien Technology FV Indoor Cultivation
Use a small grow tent or cabinet with reflective walls (Mylar or white paint) to maximize light efficiency. Install full-spectrum LED or HPS lamps on an 18/6 cycle during veg and maintain 20/4 for autos. A carbon-filtered exhaust and oscillating fans will stabilize temperature, humidity, and odor.
Fill 3–5 gal pots with a light, airy soil mix (pH 6.0–6.5) enriched with perlite. Since flowering begins automatically, avoid transplant stress by starting in final containers. Automated timers and a digital hygrometer/thermometer ensure consistent conditions throughout the 8–10 week cycle.
Alien Technology FV Outdoor Cultivation
Raised beds or large fabric pots offer root aeration and drainage. Mix native soil with compost and perlite for optimal structure. Space plants 3–4 ft (1–1.2 m) apart to allow airflow and light penetration. Stake heavy branches early to prevent wind damage.
Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top 1 in (2.5 cm) of soil to dry. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In areas with heavy rain, use a simple canopy to protect developing buds from moisture.
Seed Propagation and Germination
Place seeds in distilled water for 12 hours to soften the coat, then transfer to damp paper towels at 75–80 °F (24–27 °C). Once taproots appear (usually within 24–48 hours), plant seeds taproot-down about ½ in (1.3 cm) into moist starter mix. Cover with a humidity dome until sprouts emerge.
Provide 18–20 hours of gentle light until the first true leaves appear. Gradually remove the dome over 3–4 days to acclimate seedlings to ambient humidity and airflow. Avoid overwatering by misting lightly and ensuring good drainage.
Alien Technology FV Vegetative Phase
Maintain an 18–20 hour light schedule. Feed a mild, nitrogen-rich nutrient solution (N-P-K 3-1-2) at half strength weekly. Apply low-stress training (LST) during weeks 2–3 to spread the canopy and improve light penetration to lower nodes.
Keep temperature at 70–80 °F and humidity at 60%–65%. Introduce beneficial microbes or a kelp-based foliar spray in early veg to boost vitality. Prune lower foliage to improve airflow and direct energy to the upper canopy.
Alien Technology FV Flowering Phase
By week 4 you’ll see pistils switch to a 12/12 cycle if you prefer, though autos will flower regardless. Feed a bloom formula high in phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K 1-3-2). Reduce humidity to 40%–50% and maintain temperature at 65–75 °F to concentrate resin and terpene production.
Remove large fan leaves around week 5 to expose bud sites to light and air. Support heavy colas with soft ties or netting as buds swell during weeks 6–8. Begin flushing with plain water in the final week to improve smoothness and flavor.
Fertilization and Nutrition
Veg: use a 3-1-2 N-P-K ratio; early bloom: 1-3-2; late bloom: 0-3-3. Include calcium, magnesium, and trace elements to prevent deficiencies. Flush with pH-balanced water during the last week.
Organic amendments like worm castings, bat guano, or kelp meal enrich soil microbiology, enhancing nutrient uptake and terpene expression. A foliar seaweed spray in early bloom can boost flower development.
Pest and Disease Control
Inspect plants daily for spider mites, aphids, or thrips. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at first sign of infestation, targeting underside of leaves. Yellow sticky traps help monitor and reduce flying pests.
Maintain airflow to prevent powdery mildew and botrytis. Avoid overhead watering during flowering. Quarantine newcomers for 7 days to avoid introducing pests into your main crop.
Alien Technology FV Harvesting and Curing
Harvest when 70%–80% of trichomes are cloudy with some amber. Cut branches and trim fan leaves. Hang upside-down in a dark, ventilated room at 60–70 °F and 50% humidity. Rotate branches every 2–3 days for even drying (7–10 days).
Remove buds and place in glass jars filled to ¾ capacity. “Burp” jars 5–10 min daily for first week, then weekly for 2–4 weeks. Use humidity packs to maintain 60%–62% RH, preserving aroma and smoothness.
Post-Harvest: Drying, Curing and Storage
After hanging, monitor buds until stems snap (7–10 days). Trim and jar buds in glass containers no more than ¾ full. “Burp” daily for the first week, then weekly for 2–4 weeks. Maintain RH at 60%–62% with small packs.
Store cured jars in a cool, dark place at 60–65 °F (15–18 °C). Avoid light exposure and temperature swings. For long-term storage, add desiccant or RH packs to preserve cannabinoids and terpenes for months.
