Alien Technology
Also known as: Alien Tech
Overview
Alien Technology is a rare and mysterious pure indica landrace strain that originated in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, obtained by breeder OBSoul33t from a U.S. soldier returning from Afghanistan. This strain is characterized by its light green buds with incredible trichome production, dense and resin-coated appearance, creating a visually striking spectacle with vibrant green foliage. Despite its pure indica genetics, Alien Technology has been instrumental in breeding some of today's most potent hybrids including Alien Dawg and Alien Kush, demonstrating its value as breeding stock for the Alien family of strains. What sets this strain apart from typical indicas is its more stimulating effects while maintaining the classic indica relaxation, with users reporting sustained effects lasting up to six hours. As a foundational landrace cultivar, Alien Technology serves as a building block for modern breeding while offering a profound connection to cannabis's cultural and botanical heritage in today's diverse market.
