Finally, growing outdoors is a good option in dry, sunny and warm places. However, Steve’s Alien OG, like most of its OG relatives, flourishes on the west coast and other places with a Mediterranean type climate. In other words, since the weather can be fickle, watch for any sudden changes. Some growers have a canvas canopy ready in case of drizzle, while others are willing to move the plant indoors temporarily.

soil 1

The medium where we grow our STEVE`S ALIEN OG is important. Firstly, we have to be clear if we are going to grow directly on land or on pots.

If we grow our cannabis seeds in pots, we have no problem since we will use any soil on the market that is already fertilized and with its fertilizers.

Finally, if we cultivate directly on land. We advise to condition the soil first. In addition, remove the surface soil about 10cm and add worm humus to ensure the growth of the plant, red guano or dry bird guano, which you can buy in any garden store, to guarantee a great flowering and trichodermas, beneficial fungus for the protection of the roots and stimulate the microbiotic life of the soil.

These fungi will be your allies to get robust and high-yielding plants.

In conclusion, our culture medium is very important to obtain large resin buds from our STEVE`S ALIEN OG.

photoperiod 1

First of all, the 18/6 photoperiod is very important for the development of any plant. Secondly, in the Outdoor point we reflect how many hours of light our South Africa grown plants receive. Finally, outdoors, most strains will naturally enter bloom when there is less than 15 hours of light per day.

The situation for daylight hours is very important. Also, or just as important is light pollution. If our plants need 12 hours of light, they also need 12 hours to sleep.

If you have plants in your yard, the light from the street lighting may filter through and prevent your plants from having an absolute 12/12. In these cases you can use a mesh and with this curb the area where your plants are located, such as if it were a ceiling that will filter the street lighting and allow your STEVE’S ALIEN OG to sleep in a good way.

nutriens 1

harvest 1

Finally, we reached the most anticipated point. After a long time of cultivation comes the harvest. Now it’s time to harvest your marijuana, the result of your effort is near.

Firstly, the best time to cut our marijuana plant is when several factors appear.

  1. Color change of the pistils. Firstly, pistils are born white. However, as harvest time approaches, they change from white to brown.
  2. Color change of our leaves. Firstly, we will notice how the leaves start to pick up a yellow color. This is due to the lack of nutrients and is a trigger for our marijuana plant to be ready.
  3. Observe the trichomes. Observing trichomes throughout the plant stage is important. Finally, the change from crystalline to amba color is a big trigger that our marijuana plant is ready to be harvested.
