Alien Technology
The smoking confidant that easily gets rid of all your mind and body stress.
The name Alien Technology aptly describes this rare strain and its out-of-this-world effects.
Alien Technology strain info:
This weed shares the same birthplace as the illustrious Afghani, Pure Afghan, and Mazar I Sharif breeds. Although its exact origins remain a secret, it is believed to be acquired by marijuana breeder OBSoul33t from a US soldier returning from Afghanistan. This strain has fathered some well-known and well-loved varietals since then, such as Alien Dawg and Alien Kush.
This awesome Indica hybrid with 13% to 19% THC and 1% CBD is a popular option for recreational and therapeutic users wanting to experience a long-lasting high without the risk of psychedelia. It delivers its effects faster than other Indica strains, and they can last up to 6 hours. Just a puff or two is sure to bestow a punch of stable head-to-toe euphoria. Its impact is like a warm blanket of serenity that can be felt all over the entire body.
Another enticing fact about this strain is the delectable sweet apple scent that it releases when combusted. This aroma is then complemented by a surprising, spicy, fuel-like kick. Its wonderful flavor is a testament to medical marijuana (MMJ) patients that medicine does not always have to taste unpleasant.
This ganja comes in both autoflowering and photoperiod versions so that growers of all experience levels can enjoy its goodness. In just a few weeks, it fulfills its promise – a decent yield of trichome-coated buds.

Alien Technology Grow Info
Alien Technology grows like a typical Indica with a short and compact structure. Thanks to its landrace genetics, this Mary Jane is sturdy; in fact, it is known to survive in colder regions and has a strong defense against mold and mildew. Therefore, it can surely reach its full potential when given proper training and attention.
This plant is an undeniable beauty with its dark green leaves and lime-colored nugs, as well as the orange pistils that provide a vivid contrast. As it matures, you’ll see it glimmering because of the heavy coating of trichomes that marks its potency.
Alien Technology is ideal for growers who already have some knowledge about marijuana cultivation. Since it has the usual Indica shape like that of a Christmas tree, regular pruning is extremely important. Doing so ensures that it does not accumulate too much moisture within its nooks and crannies.
For indoor cultivation, employing the Sea of Green (SOG) method is advised. It is a naturally small plant, so growers can read at least four of them in a one-square meter area. This technique lets one maximize a growing area with limited space, and it also increases the potential yield. Nonetheless, avoid overcrowding the shrubs as this may lead to a higher moisture level in the grow room.
Pairing SOG with hydroponics will surely boost bud production, whereas using an organic soil mixture can enhance the terpene profile. Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the flavor and aroma of marijuana.
Apart from these strategies, the key to success is making sure that the temperature and relative humidity (RH) are kept at optimum levels throughout the various life stages of the plants.
- Seedling period: 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), 65% to 70% RH
- Vegetative period: 22 to 28 degrees Celsius (72 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to 70% RH
- Flowering period: 20 to 26 degrees Celsius (68 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to 50% RH
- Late flowering: 18 to 24 degrees Celsius (64 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit), 30% to 40% RH
If all goes well, you can expect a yield of 280 to 340 grams (10 to 12 ounces) per square meter after 8 to 10 weeks.
But if you want to raise your Alien Tech outdoors, you can do so in a warm area with adequate sunshine. When grown in this kind of environment, it can stretch up to 80 to 130 cm (2.5 to 4 feet). You can anticipate a harvest of up to 340 grams (12 ounces) per plant by mid to late October.
Using regular seeds gives you a 50/50 chance of sprouting male and female plants. Note that early identification and segregation of the males prevent the risks of accidental pollination. The pollen from the males can be used for future breeding projects, while the females are responsible for the smokable buds.
On the other hand, feminized seeds guarantee a 99.99% all-female bunch that saves time and effort. This latter version is endorsed for beginners who are not yet skilled in telling apart the plants’ genders.
Alien Technology also has an autoflowering version that thrills growers of all levels. These seeds simplify the whole growing process and give cultivators fewer problems to think about. Starting off the list of Auto Alien Tech’s benefits is its automatic flowering feature. Autos can bloom on their own and do not need to be triggered by changing the light schedule. Moreover, this variety is known to have a higher defense against pathogens since it has been infused with hardyRuderalis genes.
This strain can be propagated indoors using the SOG method also, and it can supply 250 grams (9 ounces) of bud per square meter in only 8 to 9 weeks – from seed to harvest. For alfresco cultivation, each plant can produce up to 300 grams (11 ounces).
Lastly, seasoned marijuana growers know that autos have all-year harvest potential. To do this, plant the first batch in April to gather the nugs by June. Concurrently, you can sow a second batch so that you can harvest again before winter arrives, preferably in October. Careful planning and organization will assure you of a year-round supply of this glorious weed.
