Alien Sherpa
Also known as: Alien Sherbert
Alien Sherpa Strain Overview
Alien Sherpa is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of Alien Technology and Sherpa. The strain represents a fusion of genetics from two distinct lineages: Alien Technology, known for its potent effects and unique terpene profile, and Sherpa, a strain with Nepalese landrace ancestry that contributes to its balanced effects and complex aroma. Breeders sought to combine the cerebral stimulation of Alien Technology with the physical relaxation of Sherpa, resulting in a strain that offers a well-rounded experience suitable for various occasions.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. Visually, Alien Sherpa buds often display a striking appearance with deep green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The nugs are usually compact and can exhibit purple hues in cooler growing conditions. The strain's name reflects its otherworldly appearance and the mountainous heritage of its Sherpa parent.
Alien Sherpa has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's effects are typically described as beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. Its unique genetic heritage contributes to its distinctive characteristics that set it apart from more common hybrid varieties.

Alien Sherpa Strain Growing Information
Alien Sherpa is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for most grow spaces. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the strain can be sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Proper nutrient management is important, particularly during the flowering phase when the plants develop their dense, resinous buds.
