Alien OG
Alien OG
Also known as: Alien OG Kush
Overview
Alien OG, also known as Alien OG Kush, is a balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing Tahoe OG and Alien Kush. This potent strain originated in California's Bay Area and was first available as a clone before being made available in seed form by Cali Connection. The strain has gained cult status among both seasoned growers and cannabis enthusiasts due to its exceptional potency and unique characteristics. Alien OG is renowned for its dense, resinous buds that appear crystalline due to heavy trichome coverage, resembling 'green meteorites fallen from the sky.' The plant typically grows low and compact with a sturdy structure capable of supporting its heavily-laden flowers. With THC levels reaching up to 28%, Alien OG is considered a heavy-hitter strain that delivers intense effects and is recommended primarily for experienced users. The strain combines the legendary genetics of its parent strains, inheriting the calming effects of Tahoe OG with the euphoric qualities of Alien Kush, resulting in a well-balanced yet potent cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Alien OG is considered moderately challenging to grow, making it suitable for intermediate to experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (58-70 days), with some phenotypes finishing as early as 58 days. Indoor yields range from 400-450g/m² (1.31-1.47 oz/ft²), while outdoor plants can produce 400-600g per plant (14-21 oz). The plant reaches approximately 1.5 meters (4.92 ft) in height and prefers Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity. It requires stable environmental conditions with temperatures between 20-26°C (68-79°F) and humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. The strain shows average resistance to pests and diseases and performs well both indoors and outdoors. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during the final weeks of flowering as the dense, resinous flowers can trap moisture.
