AfghAlien
Also known as: Afghan Alien
AfghAlien Strain Overview
AfghAlien is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two classic landrace varieties: Afghani and Alien Technology. This strain represents a modern interpretation of traditional genetics, combining the robust characteristics of Afghan indica with the unique properties of the Alien Technology sativa. The result is a balanced hybrid that maintains strong indica influences while incorporating sativa elements for a more complex experience.
Visually, AfghAlien plants typically display dense, resinous buds with deep green coloration often accented by purple hues, especially in cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy, hash-like notes from its Afghani heritage with subtle citrus undertones from the Alien Technology parentage. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy to slightly sweet on the exhale.
AfghAlien is known for its potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before settling into full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced nature and reliable effects. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, AfghAlien has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its heritage genetics and consistent performance.

AfghAlien Strain Growing Information
AfghAlien is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. AfghAlien responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
