Extraterpestrial
Also known as: Extraterpestrial OG
Extraterpestrial Strain Overview
Extraterpestrial is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Alien OG with an undisclosed, terpene-rich parent strain. The name references both its Alien OG lineage and its notably complex terpene profile, which breeders describe as 'out of this world.' First appearing in the late 2010s, this strain gained attention within connoisseur circles for its potent effects and unique aromatic bouquet, though it remains less common in mainstream commercial markets.
The plant produces dense, conical buds with a structure leaning slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are typically forest green with occasional purple hues brought out by cooler temperatures, and are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The most notable characteristic is its aromatic profile, which combines gassy, earthy base notes with surprising layers of fruit and spice.
Extraterpestrial is recognized for its balanced hybrid effects that begin cerebrally before settling into full-body relaxation. The strain's relatively high THC content contributes to its potency, while its complex terpene array is the subject of particular interest among enthusiasts. Growers note that it expresses significant phenotypic variation, with some phenotypes emphasizing its sativa characteristics and others leaning more heavily indica.

Extraterpestrial Strain Growing Information
Extraterpestrial is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with vertical limitations. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly in denser phenotypes. Some phenotypes may require additional support during late flowering due to heavy bud development.
