Also tagged as Alien OG Kush, this marvelous hybrid is the offspring of Alien Kush, known for providing an active psychedelic high, and Tahoe OG Kush that furnishes intense mind and body relaxation.
This strain originated from the Golden State and is one of the most recommended strains at marijuana dispensaries. With a THC content that can reach up to 28%, this weed’s potency is out of this world. It starts to manifest its ganja goodness with a euphoric cerebral rush that leads to psychedelic stimulation. Physical relaxation soon follows, and with a moderate dose, it provides a peaceful slumber.
Cannabis enthusiasts delight in its interesting mix of flavors and fragrances. Its skunky, citrusy aroma is sure to engulf the room easily, while the palate savors the refreshing lemon and pine zest with a hint of spiciness.
Alien OG is available in both autoflowering and photoperiod versions to give growers of different levels various options. Any of these varietals do not require elaborate cultivation techniques, and in just a few weeks, you can harvest a more-than-decent yield of highly resinous buds.

Although Alien OG is a 50/50 hybrid, it tends to manifest Indica-dominant features that are considered advantageous in marijuana cultivation. It has a compact, manageable structure and can be planted indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. You don’t have to worry because its small height will not attract your neighbor’s prying eyes. Moreover, it is a robust plant with sturdy branches that do not require additional support.
This plant’s fan leaves are a striking forest-green shade highlighted by lime-colored nugs. The pistils serve as a prominent contrast with their bright yellow hue. Alien OG’s potency is evident with its thick layer of trichomes covering every surface.
Alien OG is recommended for growers with some knowledge of marijuana cultivation. Seasoned veterans will advise placing it in a pot with Rockwool since it has a tendency to develop issues with its root system. This growing medium looks a bit like cotton candy fiber, but it is spun from basalt rock. It is mostly used in a hydroponic setting and helps the plant receive the right amount of nutrients while protecting the roots.
This strain has strong resistance against mold and mildew; nevertheless, its bushy structure may require constant manicuring to maintain adequate airflow. Regular pruning and trimming also encourage the plant to direct its energy towards building up the buds rather than using it on the foliage.
Indoors, Alien OG typically grows up to 75 cm (2.5 feet) only, and it is highly suitable for the Sea of Green (SOG) method. With SOG, you can raise multiple plants (up to 9 plants in one square meter), resulting in a heavier yield. Do not be tempted to overcrowd your plants as it can cause pathogens to develop. To boost your plants’ protection against moisture-related diseases, maintain the following temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels:
Employing all these guidelines should warrant a yield of 300 grams (11 ounces) per square meter after 8 or 9 weeks.
Should you decide to rear Alien OG alfresco, be mindful that it favors warm and humid environments. It demands adequate sunshine exposure as well. When grown in this kind of habitat, you can expect a resinous yield of 400 grams (13 ounces) per plant by October.
Making use of regular seeds will give you a 50/50 chance of getting both male and female plants. If you are into marijuana breeding, the males are necessary because they carry pollen. The key to success is separating the genders early on. This procedure prevents accidental pollination. Meanwhile, feminized seeds will assure you of a 99.99% all-female batch. They save time and effort since you don’t have to identify your plants’ genders and place them in different grow rooms. This latter option is best for beginners.
Alien OG also comes in an autoflowering version that has been getting praises from both newbie and expert growers. Using these seeds makes the whole growing process convenient with fewer things to think about. Infused with Ruderalis genes, this version has an even stronger resistance to pathogens. Another advantage is that it will blossom on its own since the flowering stage does not need to be triggered with a change in the light schedule.
In comparison to regular strains, autos typically grow smaller, and this one is no exception. Cultivating it indoors is best done with the SOG technique to provide a yield of about 300 grams (11 ounces) per square meter. When planted outdoors, you can expect the plant to stretch up to 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 feet) only. Each plant can produce a harvest of around 400 grams (13 ounces).
Another feature that growers love about autos is how short its life cycle is. From seed to harvest, it will only take 63 to 70 days. To capitalize on this speed, you can plan to grow at least two batches in a year. Plant the first group in April to harvest by June. Simultaneously, you can sow a second batch of seeds in June or July. You will be able to harvest in October or before winter arrives.
