Alien Cookies
Also known as: Alien Cookies OG, OG Alien Cookies
Overview
Alien Cookies is an evenly balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the legendary Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with Alien Dawg. Bred by Jaws Genetics, this strain emerged during the cannabis breeding boom of the early 2010s and has since become a highly sought-after cultivar known for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics. Despite being a balanced hybrid, Alien Cookies is incredibly rare to find on the market, making it a prized possession for those lucky enough to encounter it.
The strain features dense, golf-ball sized buds that range from light to dark green with hints of purple, adorned with vibrant orange pistils and covered in a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. This heavy resin production contributes to its high potency and makes it particularly valuable for concentrate production. Alien Cookies has gained recognition for its exceptional bag appeal and has spawned numerous offspring including the famous MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) strain, cementing its place as an important breeding cornerstone in modern cannabis genetics.

Growing Information
Alien Cookies is considered a moderately difficult to difficult strain to grow, best suited for experienced cultivators. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors but thrives in warm, dry climates with good airflow. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks with plants reaching heights of 3-4 feet and yields of 0.5-1 ounce per square foot (400-600 grams per square meter). Outdoor cultivation can produce 1-2 ounces per square foot or 600-800 grams per plant, with harvest typically occurring in early to mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain is prone to mold and mildew like most Cookie varieties, requiring careful humidity control. Plants develop a bushy, indica-like structure but may stretch during flowering. Training techniques like LST and SCROG are recommended to maximize yields.
