What Ewok is
Ewok is a hybrid from Alien Genetics, and Leafly files it under the name Alien Walker, a cross of Albert Walker and Tahoe Alien that won the hybrid category at the 2013 Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup. AllBud gives the same parents and the same award.
The breeder's description on SeedFinder fills in the background. The Albert Walker mother is a tightly held cut from the Pacific Northwest, of Afghani and possibly Afghani Skunk lineage, popular in the 1980s and 1990s and known for heavy yields and a loud smell. Pollen from Tahoe Alien, a Tahoe OG and Alien Kush cross, was meant to add tighter buds, more weight and more potency.
Ewok is not a sativa. Leafly and AllBud list it as a hybrid, AllBud's description calls it indica-dominant, and Alien Genetics puts it at 60% indica. The indica, sativa and hybrid guide explains what those labels can and cannot tell you.
Look, smell and taste
The name comes from the look. Leafly and AllBud both compare its frost-covered buds to the hairy Star Wars creatures, and AllBud describes short, furry buds with red hairs.
Leafly describes pungent, fruity notes of tangerine and lemon, and its reviewers most often pick woody, nutty and citrus. AllBud calls the flavour a mix of Kush, citrus, nuts, hash and mint, with a smell like Kush and tangerines. Alien Genetics describes the Albert Walker parent as tasting of over-ripe tangerines, lemon zest, musty funk and fuel. In samples tested by Leafly Certified labs, myrcene leads, followed by pinene and caryophyllene.
Effects people report
Leafly rates Ewok's effects as mostly calming, starting with strong, cerebrally focused effects, and its reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, creative and happy; the most common negatives they list are dry mouth, feeling anxious and dry eyes. AllBud describes a high that is energetic and calming at once, says many users find it sparks creativity, and notes that it tends to leave people sedated.
Start with a small amount. Health Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise not driving for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.
How strong is Ewok?
Leafly lists 19% THC and rates it above average, and AllBud gives 17% to 23%. Alien Genetics says the Tahoe Alien side was added for a step up in potency, but the label on your batch is the only reliable figure.
Similar strains
A close relative is Fruity Pebbles OG, another Alien Genetics strain that Leafly says also takes genetics from Tahoe Alien. Through Tahoe OG, the family tree on SeedFinder runs back to OG Kush, and the Albert Walker side traces to Afghani stock.
