Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien
Also known as: CTHA
Overview
Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien is another indica staple from Exotic Genetix, who combined Tiger's Milk with Starfighter to create this powerhouse strain. The strain was developed in the mid-2010s by a group of visionary breeders at Exotic Genetix, known for their innovative crossing techniques and dedication to quality. The genetic blend of this strain is 76% indica/25% sativa, making it a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid that delivers profound relaxation and sedative effects.
The plant exhibits dense, resinous buds that are often highlighted by a spectrum of deep greens and purples with vibrant orange pistils. Under close inspection, trichomes densely cover the surface of the buds, offering a frosty and almost crystalline look that is highly prized in cannabis connoisseur circles. Mature Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien plants typically stand tall and proud, boasting heights ranging from 6 to 8 feet or even exceeding these measurements in certain instances. The strain's name pays homage to the acclaimed martial arts film, reflecting its ability to deliver stealthy yet powerful effects that creep up on users like a crouching predator before fully enveloping them in tranquility.
