Alien Tarantula
Alien Tarantula
Overview
Alien Tarantula is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Obsoul33t Genetics through crossing a Tarantula mother plant (itself a cross of Kyle Kushman's Strawberry Cough × Alien Kush) with an Alien Technology father. The Alien Technology parent is a rare landrace strain reportedly obtained from a U.S. soldier returning from Afghanistan, characterized by its pure indica genetics, light green buds, exceptional trichome production, and distinctive spicy, hashy flavor profile with fuel undertones. This unique genetic combination produces an intriguing strain that offers more cerebral stimulation than typical indicas while maintaining relaxing physical effects.
Alien Tarantula plants display dense, olive green and purple buds with patches of deep amber hairs and golden trichomes that heavily coat the entire flower structure, making them somewhat difficult to break apart by hand. When properly cultivated, the strain exhibits vigorous growth characteristics and robust genetics that have impressed experienced growers. The flowering period ranges from 60-70 days, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation in appropriate climates.

Growing Information
Alien Tarantula is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of 60-70 days and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. It demonstrates vigorous growth with strong, lush development and requires consistent humidity and temperature control (68-82°F optimal). The strain benefits from organic nutrients and ample space for root expansion. Plants show good pest resistance and produce dense, resinous buds with heavy trichome production. Only available as regular (non-feminized) seeds, allowing for phenotype selection and breeding projects.
