Purple Tahoe Alien
Also known as: Purple Tahoe Alien OG
What is the Purple Tahoe Alien strain?
Purple Tahoe Alien is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Tahoe Alien is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two well-known strains: Tahoe OG and Purple Alien. The strain was developed to combine the relaxing, full-body effects of Tahoe OG with the unique visual characteristics and cerebral stimulation of Purple Alien. While its exact origin date is not widely documented, it emerged in the early 2010s as part of a wave of 'alien' and 'purple' crosses that gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain is particularly noted for its striking appearance and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The plant typically produces dense, conical buds that display a remarkable color palette. Deep purple hues dominate the foliage, often contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a characteristic inherited from its Purple Alien parent. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a dense structure that requires careful trimming to prevent moisture retention issues.
Purple Tahoe Alien is recognized for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines earthy, piney notes from the Tahoe OG lineage with sweet, fruity undertones from the Purple Alien genetics. The strain has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its visual appeal and well-rounded effects, though it remains somewhat less common than its parent strains. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though users should be mindful of its potentially high THC content.

The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors, but can reach up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to encourage the purple coloration, with nighttime temperature drops of 10-15°F often enhancing color development.
