I had the most difficult time trying to grow Alien outdoors. I babied the hell out of it and lost one to some kind of untreatable virus/fungus. I bought some LED panels this past winter and tossed my most sensitive traps underneath it. Of course that was all it needed to finally look like Alien. A few spritzes of Maxsea every other week and it’s growing large Alien traps. My fussy red traps are also happy campers under Yescom panels.

I'm going to try to grow mine indoors too, last year, my Alien looked good, but not great. After I get more space inside, hopefully mine will look like yours!
