White Alien
Also known as: White Alien OG
White Alien Strain Overview
White Alien is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing White Widow with Alien Kush. This combination brings together two legendary genetics, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine White Widow's resin production and balanced effects with Alien Kush's potent indica characteristics and unique terpene profile.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, frosty buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give it a white, crystalline appearance. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a structure that leans slightly toward the indica side, featuring tight, compact formations. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lime green, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the buds. The heavy trichome coverage is one of White Alien's most distinctive features, making it visually striking and indicating its potency.
White Alien is known for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, White Alien has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and well-rounded experience.

White Alien Strain Growing Information
White Alien is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 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 conditions that maximize its trichome production. Plants tend to stay at a medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. White Alien responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to increase yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage to support vigorous growth. The strain is moderately resistant to pests and diseases but benefits from preventive measures. Growers should monitor pH levels carefully, as White Alien can be sensitive to nutrient imbalances. The heavy trichome production makes this strain particularly suitable for extraction purposes.
