Alchemy Seeds

Alchemy: Sweet Honey

Alchemy seeds grow into short and stocky plants full of resin-coated buds. The leaves are smaller than average and are bright green in color. It’s hard to figure out the exact color of this strain because of the dusty trichomes covering the entire plant. Under certain lights, the leaves are purple and brown, while under direct sunlight, you can see pale green in the buds and stems. The harvested nuggets are green and orange in color and remain sticky even after clipping and drying the nuggets. Breaking the nuggets apart releases that skunky, sweet aroma. Alchemy is an exceptionally sticky strain of cannabis. While Alchemy has not won any major awards, the variants that Alchemy parented have won some serious hardware. With an award-winning lineage to brag about, there’s very little mystery surrounding the popularity of this strain. Growers love its versatility, while users enjoy the effects of the strain. Alchemy has a ton of quality reviews online, which only bolsters its already dynamic resume.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Alchemy can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers with a patient hand. Having an already experienced green thumb will help you bring this strain to harvest. It prefers a warm, sunny climate with plenty of water and nutrients to thrive. Outdoor grows should be completed in a greenhouse where the climate can be somewhat controlled. Indoor grows are preferred because the exact temperature and humidity levels can be hit without them dropping overnight. Grow lights are ideal for this strain because it grows shorter than most common cannabis varieties.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Alchemy marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 61-82 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Dialing the light cycle back to a 12/12 cycle will induce flowering and get you all the way to harvesting your plants.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 65-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 50-65% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don’t become moldy.
• Training Techniques: Techniques such as defoliation, topping, and Low-Stress Training (LST) can significantly bolster yield. Utilizing these methods will not only increase your yields but will also increase the THC content in each bud.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Alchemy strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoors, it should be harvest-ready sometime near the end of October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. Since these plants grow small, you can plant multiple plants side by side and double or triple your yields come harvest time.

Dominant Terpenes in Alchemy: Creative Effects

The Alchemy terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while pinene and myrcene are secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for being spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in marijuana.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and cannabis. This terpene is responsible for this strain’s earthy and woodsy flavor and aroma.
• Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene is one of the most prominent terpenes in the cannabis world.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Alchemy:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Alchemy seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, focused, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Alchemy strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 15%, the THC in this evenly balanced strain is responsible for the creative and focused feeling you get when enjoying Alchemy cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Alchemy are around 2%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Alchemy strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
