Pure Alien
Also known as: Alien Pure, Pure Alien OG
Pure Alien Strain Overview
Pure Alien is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the California cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain is part of the broader 'Alien' family of genetics that gained popularity for their unique appearance and potent effects. Breeders developed Pure Alien by crossing two notable strains to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is recognized for its striking visual presentation, featuring dense, conical buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that give it a shimmering, almost extraterrestrial appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Alien' references both this otherworldly appearance and the mysterious origins of some of its parent genetics.
Pure Alien has maintained a cult following among cannabis enthusiasts despite not achieving widespread commercial distribution. Its rarity means that reliable information about the strain can be inconsistent, and some details vary between different growers' experiences. The strain is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile and balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation.

Pure Alien Strain Growing Information
Pure Alien is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for experienced growers than beginners. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Pure Alien requires careful attention to humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during the flowering phase.
