What Alien OG is
Leafly lists Alien OG, also sold as Alien OG Kush or Alien Banana, as a hybrid cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush. It first turned up as a clone in California's Bay Area and is now sold as seeds by Cali Connection. Weedmaps adds that the cross used a Tahoe OG female and an Alien Kush male, with Alien Kush genetics associated with the breeder OBSoul33t, and that Cali Connection's listings put flowering at around 60 to 65 days with medium yields.
AllBud calls it an evenly balanced hybrid, 50% indica and 50% sativa. Leafly's family tree also names two offspring, Purple Alien OG and Alien Pebbles.
Look, smell and taste
Leafly describes the typical OG lemon and pine smell and flavour, and its reviewers' top flavours are pine, earthy and lemon. Weedmaps notes sharp citrus with an earthy, pungent depth, and a taste of sour lemon and woody pine with a hashy finish. AllBud picks up a sweet and sour lemon flavour with a lightly woody exhale over an earthy, herbal aroma.
Descriptions of the buds differ: Weedmaps calls them dense and green with orange pistils and a thick coat of trichomes, while AllBud describes airy, minty green buds with amber-tinted frost. Leafly's lab data lists myrcene as the main terpene, then caryophyllene and limonene; the limonene guide covers the citrus one.
Effects people report
Leafly's summary describes an intense high that combines heavy body effects with a psychedelic, cerebral buzz, and its reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, tingly and euphoric. Leafly rates the effects as mostly calming. AllBud describes a buzzy lift in the head followed by full-body relaxation, and Weedmaps says regulars feel physically relaxed while their thoughts stay lively, though the mental buzz can feel racy for some. More on that split: head high vs body high.
The negatives Leafly users report most are dry mouth, dry eyes and headache. Leafly tells beginners to take it slow with this heavy hitter, and Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines advise lower-THC products and no driving for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.
How strong is Alien OG?
