Medical Applications
Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter adenosine.
CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis may help replace the lost endocannabinoids, helping treat pain and mood disorders associated with NF1 gene mutations. Using THC may help boost dopamine levels in the brain.
Medical cannabis may also help reduce the intake of stimulant medications. Terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and limonene may be beneficial for reducing the intake of stimulants and addiction in general.
Those with PTSD have elevated expression of CB1 receptors in the nervous system. Low to moderate doses of THC and moderate to high doses of CBD can help treat anxiety, insomnia, and low mood associated with PTSD.
Cannabis’ ability to modulate serotonin transmission can help relieve the intensity and frequency of headaches in some cases.
Dosing
The moderate THC content of Alien Walker can sneak up on users, so it’s essential to take it slow when determining your ideal dosage. Start with a low dose for your first day using it, then slowly increase the dosage until you reach your desired effects.
Growing
Alien Walker can be grown indoors and outdoors, but indoor growing is recommended for the best results.
The strain prefers a warm and dry climate, a high-quality growing medium, and a lot of light, which a 600-watt can provide HID lighting system.
Alien Walker requires a balanced nutrient regimen with a high nitrogen content during the vegetative stage and a higher phosphorus and potassium content during the flowering stage. It responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training.
Height
The plant will grow to about 60 to 80 inches tall and sits on the larger end of the scale, regarding the excellent yield it can produce.
Indoors, the plant can reach around 19 grams per square meter. Growing outdoors can be more complicated if the climate improves, as Alien Walker is more of an indoor strain. However, if it’s grown correctly, the strain can grow up to 6 feet tall and produce up to 24.5 grams of buds per plant.
Humidity and Temperature
Ideal growing conditions for the Alien Walker strain take a lot of work. Generally, a high humidity level of 60% to 70% for the seedlings and cuttings will ensure the plants develop a stable root system. Keep the temperatures around 72 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the vegetative stage, lower the humidity levels down to 50%-60%. Finally, when the plant reaches its flowering stage, the humidity levels will be reduced from 40% to 50%. Adhering to the correct humidity and temperatures can lessen the plant’s chances of rotting, getting moldy, or dying. Once grown, the buds should be fluffy and covered with fine hairs.
Flowering
You can expect a flowering time of 49 to 65 days (six to eight weeks) for Alien Walker. The strain is generally ready for harvest at the 70-day mark.
