Sour Blue Alien
Also known as: Sour Blue Alien OG
Sour Blue Alien Strain Overview
Sour Blue Alien is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of Alien Technology and Sour Diesel. The strain represents a fusion of two distinct genetic lineages, combining the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with the physical relaxation and unique terpene profile of Alien Technology. Breeders sought to create a strain with balanced effects and complex flavor characteristics, resulting in this moderately popular cultivar that has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive qualities.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dark green foliage interspersed with purple and blue hues under certain growing conditions. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The buds tend to be compact with a slightly elongated structure, inheriting characteristics from both parent strains. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark green base color and the occasional purple or blue coloration that develops in cooler environments.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained particular attention for its unique combination of sour and fruity notes with underlying earthy and diesel undertones. While not among the most widely cultivated commercial strains, Sour Blue Alien has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets and among home growers who appreciate its distinctive characteristics and reliable performance. The strain represents an interesting example of how breeders combine established genetics to create new cultivars with specific desired traits.

Sour Blue Alien Strain Growing Information
Sour Blue Alien is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be managed. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Some phenotypes may exhibit color changes (purple/blue hues) when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
