Alien OG

General info

Like the name suggests, Alien OG is an “out-of-this-world” strain, which is highly sought after by veteran cannabis consumers. This extremely potent, balanced, but slightly Indica-dominant strain carries a heavy-handed THC potency.

A classic scent, reminiscent of its OG Kush heritage, Alien OG wreaks of lemon scented pine trees. Fresh and uplifting, while warm and relaxing. Alien OG will help melt away the pains and stresses at the end of the day.

Grow info

As mentioned, Alien OG can be somewhat difficult for novice growers. Although this plant has short flowering time of just 8 weeks, it requires a lot of care and attention. The plant can be started from seed or clone and will grow well hydroponically, in soil, indoors, or outdoors. However, Alien OG will require ample nutrients and heavy feedings to produce its typical high-yields and potency potential.

In addition, the dense buds are prone to mold in high humidity conditions, and plants need to be topped at the appropriate time to boost yields and create the desired bushy appearance. Indoors or out, Alien OG requires a consistent temperature between 68 and 80 degrees.
