Ultra Alien
Ultra Alien Strain Overview
Ultra Alien is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources indicating it was developed by independent breeders rather than large commercial seed companies. Its name reflects both its potent effects ('Ultra') and its unusual, otherworldly appearance ('Alien'), though some speculate the 'Alien' reference may relate to its genetic heritage from strains with exotic or mysterious backgrounds.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep forest green foliage with vibrant purple and magenta hues that intensify under cooler temperatures during cultivation. These colorful buds are generously coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering, almost extraterrestrial appearance that inspired the strain's name. The nugs are often accented with fiery orange pistils that create a visually striking contrast against the darker background colors.
Ultra Alien's aroma profile is complex and layered, combining earthy, piney base notes with brighter citrus and floral accents. When properly cured, the buds release a pungent scent that some users describe as having a subtle fuel-like undertone. The flavor experience generally mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy pine to citrus on the exhale. Due to its limited commercial availability, Ultra Alien remains somewhat of a connoisseur's strain, primarily found in select dispensaries and among dedicated home growers who appreciate its unique characteristics.

Ultra Alien Strain Growing Information
Ultra Alien is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 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 growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions needed to enhance its colorful expression. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining slightly cooler temperatures during the final flowering weeks to encourage the development of purple hues and ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds.
