Double Alien

Double Alien is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

Double Alien is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two distinct lineages to create a balanced yet potent experience. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it is generally understood to be a cross between Alien OG and another OG Kush variant, possibly Tahoe OG or SFV OG. This combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage, though it typically leans slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s within the California medical cannabis community before spreading to other markets.

Visually, Double Alien plants produce dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to large in size with a conical structure. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature orange to rust-colored pistils that contrast against the green background. The foliage tends to be dark green with broad leaves characteristic of indica-dominant genetics.

The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its reported effects, with 'Alien' pointing to the otherworldly appearance of the heavily trichome-covered buds and 'Double' suggesting an intensified version of its parent strains. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, Double Alien has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets, particularly among enthusiasts seeking balanced hybrid effects with substantial potency. The strain's relative rarity compared to more commercial varieties means that specific phenotypic expressions can vary between different growers and seed banks.
