Alien Abduction
Alien Abduction
Overview
Alien Abduction is an indica-leaning hybrid cannabis strain that was developed by Ocean Grown Genetics (also known as Ocean Grown Seeds) as part of the popular 'Alien' family of cannabis cultivars. The strain was created by crossing an Alien OG male with the Ether cut of Alien Dawg, resulting in a potent OG Kush-influenced hybrid that gained significant traction in West Coast dispensaries between 2012-2016 during the rise of higher-THC cannabis varieties. The strain is known for its robust genetics, excellent germination rates, and multiple desirable phenotypes that exhibit typical OG Kush characteristics.
Alien Abduction produces dense, compact buds with a neon green coloration, bright orange pistils, and a heavy coating of trichomes that give it an almost alien-like frosty appearance. The strain is characterized by its complex aromatic profile featuring earth, sweet fruit, lemon, and pine notes, with a flavor that combines citrus, pine, nutty undertones, and sugared nuts. As an indica-dominant hybrid, it provides a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation and euphoria before transitioning into deep physical relaxation and sedation, making it particularly popular for evening use.

Growing Information
Alien Abduction is considered a moderate to advanced cultivation strain that requires some growing experience. It flowers in 56-70 days (approximately 8-10 weeks) with an average around 63 days. The strain produces moderate to above-average yields of approximately 13 ounces per plant outdoors and is ready for harvest in mid-October in outdoor environments. It develops into stout, short bushes with thick stalks and branches, showing typical indica morphology despite hybrid vigor. The strain is resistant to most environmental hardships and prefers outdoor climates with slight humidity, though it thrives best in controlled indoor environments where temperature, humidity, and light can be optimized. Alien Abduction responds well to Sea of Green training methods for boosted yields and requires proper airflow to prevent issues in dense canopies. Growers note the strain's high germination success rates and multiple stable phenotypes.
