Cannabis Clone Plant | Alien OG
A clone is a cutting from a mature cannabis plant that has been rooted to create a new plant. Cloning is beneficial because it allows growers to maintain identical genetics for each harvest and ensure that plants are always female.
These clones will be delivered to the store approximately 2 weeks after ordering. Customers will be notified when the clones arrive and can pick them up at their soonest convenience. NO CLONES ARE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE IN-STORE.
General:
Although it has roots in California’s very own OG Kush, Alien OG is an out-of-this-
world strain with a reputation all its own. This sativa-leaning hybrid was created by
seed company The Cali Connection as a cross between Tahoe OG Kush (itself a
phenotype of the original OG Kush) and Cali Connection’s very own indica Alien
Kush. Alien OG offers a soaring psychedelic high with roughly equal parts cerebral
stimulation and and physical relaxation. Alien OG’s THC content can range from 20%
to as much as 28%.
Buds of Alien OG are packaged as small, nugget-like clusters. Although the flowers
often have a dense, compact bud structure, some phenotypes lean more sativa and
have looser, fluffier leaves. The leaves themselves appear light green and are offset
by orange to vibrant red pistils, which are structures that allow the female plants to
catch pollen for fertilization. As evidenced by their high THC content, flowers of Alien
OG are resinous, covered in trichomes that make them appear moist and frosty.
Like parent strain Alien Kush, Alien OG has certain mind-bending properties that
make it an attractive strain for potentially trippy activities like nature walks, music
appreciation, or just intense conversation. Its great taste and balanced high make it a
welcome addition to the ever-expanding OG family.
Profiles:
This strain has a surprisingly sweet, citrus-like smell, with notes of lemon wafting up
from the cured buds. There are also more subtle notes of earth and fresh pine. When
combusted, flowers give off a more spicy, hashy scent typical of the OG family. The
smoke is lung-expanding but very smooth. Smokers may taste hashy incense and a
faint tang of ammonia on the exhale. This is one pungent strain, and its odor can
linger for a while after it’s smoked; this might not be the right choice for any smokers
trying to keep their consumption discreet.
Effects:
The high from Alien OG is said to come on quickly as a bracing pressure behind the
eyes. This head rush is accompanied by a sudden change in cognition, as thoughts
race in rapid-fire association. The intensity of this cerebral effect is often determined
by user’s set and setting or by their individual tolerance. In cases where a smoker is
able to comfortably settle into Alien OG’s altered state, the high can take on
psychedelic proportions: visual distortions like enhanced colors or peripheral flashes
can happen, as can the trippy sensation of time moving more slowly.
Physical relaxation sets in as the high progresses, or as users consume greater
amounts. This strain can be as energetic or as relaxing as smokers intend — as easily
enjoyed out among friends as it is vegging out alone. Alien OG’s well-rounded high
also lends itself to several medical applications.
Its euphoria can be a boost for those struggling with depression, while its ever-
present cerebral nature can be grounding and mindful for those with stress, anxiety,
or PTSD. Its palpable body stone, while not immobilizing, can be helpful in relieving
chronic aches and pains and even nausea. In high enough doses, Alien OG can even
be an effective means of banishing insomnia and lulling users into a deep, refreshing
sleep.
Because of its “racey” properties, however, this strain can sometimes lead to a kind of
paranoid, recursive thinking for smokers who are inexperienced or prone to anxiety.
Growing:
It is a moderately difficult grow, and may not be the best for newcomers to cultivation.
Better grown indoors than out, this strain is known to have trouble developing a root
system, and may require potting with rockwool and a significant amount of nutrients
when first planted. The short, bushy plants may also require topping, by trimming
large fan leaves in order to allow light and air to reach flowering nodes on the lower
branches. Alien OG flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and offers an
average yield.
Once they’ve harvested, growers should also take care to properly cure their flowers
to preserve this strain’s high composition of THC. Curing is a two-stage process that
involves first hanging flowers upside down for 7-10 days in a room with 50% humidity
and a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit; and then, once stems snap easily off
the flowers, sealing the buds in clean, airtight jars in a space that maintains 70
degree temperatures and 60-65% humidity.
