Alien Widow
Alien Widow Strain Overview
Alien Widow is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Alien Technology and White Widow. This strain emerged from the work of breeders seeking to combine the potent effects and unique characteristics of both lineages. While exact historical records are limited, Alien Widow appears to have been developed in the early 2000s as part of experimental breeding programs focused on creating novel hybrids with enhanced psychoactive properties and complex flavor profiles.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers are often dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give them a white, almost alien-like appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, showing characteristics inherited from both its indica and sativa parents.
Alien Widow is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and potent effects, though it remains less common than its parent strains in mainstream cannabis markets. Growers value Alien Widow for its resin production and complex aroma development during flowering.

Alien Widow Strain Growing Information
Alien Widow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to reach medium height, with indoor specimens staying around 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching 180-200 cm. Alien Widow prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to manage the bushy growth pattern. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a flush period before harvest to enhance flavor expression.
