Atlas F1

Atlas F1 or Hybrid is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 10% – 12% and CBD levels ranging from 10% – 12%. Known for its Balanced (1:1) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 60–85 cm (Compact/Bushy) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate (Responds well to organic amendments).

This Hybrid is of the Genetype: Sativa-dominant Hybrid. The Atlas F1 strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Atlas F1 in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Hybrid is 6.0–6.8 and 5.5–6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Atlas F1 needs to maintain a target temperature of 22–27°C (72–80°F) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60–70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Hybrid growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Atlas F1 needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Atlas F1 is 18/6 or 20/4 (Autoflower preference) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Atlas F1 will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 20–25°C (68–77°F) is maintained and a target humidity of 45–55% RH is achieved, the Hybrid will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Sativa-dominant Hybrid is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 18/6 or 20/4 (No flip required) for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Atlas F1 is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered Low Stress Training (LST) only; avoids High Stress (HST).

The most exciting phase, when growing Sativa-dominant Hybrid is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Atlas F1 will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 18/6 or 20/4. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 18–24°C (64–75°F) and 35–45% RH so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Atlas F1 is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Hybrid with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Fast-growing, uniform, stout stems, high mold resistance

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
Stability is King: Because this is a true F1, expect almost zero phenotypic variation. If you grow three plants, they will likely look like identical triplets. This makes canopy management much easier.

Speed: This is a "sprint" strain. It typically finishes in 65–70 days from germination. Do not delay your LST; the vegetative window is short.

Aroma: It leans toward a complex "Candy-Lime" scent with herbal undertones. It’s pungent but not as "skunky" as pure Diesel strains, making it slightly easier for stealth.

Resilience: High resistance to Botrytis (bud rot). This is a massive plus for hobbyists growing in smaller tents where airflow might occasionally fluctuate.
