Alien OG

Alien OG: An Otherworldy Buzz

Alien OG seeds grow into short plants covered with dense buds and dark green leaves. These leaves look large in comparison to the plant but that is only because the plants are so short. The buds appear to be pale green but that is due to the white trichomes producing dusty resin. A closer look at the buds shows that they are in fact bright green and are coated in sugary resin. You can barely see red pistils growing through the trichomes. The finished, harvested products are bright green and orange nuggets that are leafier than they are dense. They break apart easily and release a fuel-like aroma that draws true cannabis aficionados in. The powerful and well-loved hybrid has won a bunch of local, smaller awards in cannabis competitions, however, the major Cannabis Cup awards have eluded this strain for years. With tons of positive reviews online we anticipate this strain placing at major events in the near future.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

While the Alien OG feminized strain is not impossible for novice growers to cultivate, it has enough maintenance needs that it is instead recommended for those with at least a medium amount of cannabis cultivation experience. If you want to grow Alien OG seeds outside, know that it requires a warm and humid environment, and if you’re growing it indoors, where it tends to do better. While this evenly balanced marijuana hybrid is highly resistant to common molds and diseases, you will still want to keep a close eye on your Alien OG crops. Since Alien OG female plants can have problems developing their root system, expert growers advise potting with rock wool and using a generous amount of nutrients when you first plant this 50/50 strain.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Alien OG cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers but are recommended for experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Growers will want to switch to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering and make it through to harvest.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 50% during the vegetative growth stage. Keeping your humidity levels around 40-50% through the flowering stage will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Alien OG marijuana plants are very bushy growers, so you’ll probably need to top them so that light and air can circulate to their lower growing nodes. Topping will also help increase your yields when you are ready to harvest these plants.

Dominant Terpenes in Alien OG: Diesel & Sweet

The Alien OG terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while limonene and linalool are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy and herbal contributing to the strain’s relaxing effects on the user. Also known as the “Mother of Terpenes”.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in the rinds of citrus fruits this terpene, also found in cannabis plants, can help improve lung function.
• Linalool: Commonly Found in Spices – Found in basil, lavender, and cannabis this terpene plays a big role in the effects cannabis has on the user.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Alien OG:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Alien OG seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That focused, euphoric, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Alien OG strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 28%, the THC in this balanced hybrid strain is responsible for the euphoric and happy feeling you get when enjoying Alien OG cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Alien OG are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Alien OG strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
