Alligator Boots
Also known as: Gator Boots
Alligator Boots Strain Overview
Alligator Boots is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the underground breeding scene in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. What is known suggests it was developed by crossing two potent parent strains to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics. The name 'Alligator Boots' reportedly references both the strain's appearance and its effects, with some users describing the cured buds as having a textured, scale-like appearance reminiscent of alligator skin.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds that are typically dense and conical in structure, featuring a complex color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and are often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The visual presentation is complemented by a sticky resin production that makes the buds somewhat difficult to break apart by hand.
Alligator Boots has gained a cult following among experienced cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. While not widely available in commercial dispensaries, it has maintained a presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who value its unique characteristics. The strain's rarity means that information about it comes primarily from user reports and small-scale cultivators rather than large-scale commercial producers.

Alligator Boots Strain Growing Information
Alligator Boots is considered a moderate-difficulty 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. Outdoor cultivation is possible in Mediterranean or similar climates, with harvest usually occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training. Yield is moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height. Growers should maintain stable environmental conditions, as the plants can be somewhat sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Proper air circulation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds.
