Sour Alien

People expect a lot of things from a particular strain. From its cultivation to its fragrance and most importantly, to its effects. It is also essential for users to know if it suits their taste. Hence, when looking at possible hybrids to use, much is expected from those that descended from well-respected and sought-after lineages such as Sour Alien.

The Cali Connection used two of their prominent strains in developing Sour Alien. One of their motivations is to come up with a hybrid that does not reflect the classic traits of cannabis with regards to not only its appearance but also its effects.

First of the parent strains used is Alien Kush, a child of Las Vegas Purple Kush (LPVK) and Alien Dawg. It is an Indica-dominant strain that is well-known for mental and body buzz. Also, it tends to slowly creep into the body and leave users definitely feeling out of this world.

The other strain used is Sour Diesel, a hybrid that is known to keep its users beyond contented with the remarkable high that it delivers. Due to that, it is considered by many in the cannabis scene as legendary.

Through a careful process of selection and breeding, The Cali Connection finally released Sour Alien. For the users, it is a hybrid that starts off with a reinvigorating high before bringing one to deep relaxation. And, for the medical users, it is one strain that does not only relieve stress but also take away pains and aches.

Growing

Sour Alien is not only for the experienced growers. Even beginners in gardening or cultivating cannabis should find it quite a pleasure to grow. It is a sturdy and at the same time a forgiving plant in that it tolerates little mistakes here and there.

Growers have a choice of planting it inside the house or outdoors. Because of its pungent odor, privacy may be an issue. Because of that, most people cultivate cannabis indoors. In this case, using a carbon-activated charcoal filter is highly recommended.

Flowering Time

Indoors
Sour Alien thrives well indoors when cultivated on either soil or hydroponics. It is also highly adaptable to the Sea of Green (SOG) training method. Flowering time falls between 9 to 11 weeks. Expect yields that could be as many as 14 ounces per square meter.

Outdoors
While Sour Alien loves sunshine, there should also be ample shading to keep it from overheating. It usually flowers in mid-October with each plant producing up to 12 ounces of buds.
