Out of This World

Bud Basics

Steeped in mystery and with hotly disputed origins, it’s hard not to be compelled by Alien Technology. Nobody really knows how this herb came to be, but that simply adds to the enormous appeal. Either way, this stuff has been around for some time, having (apparently) been brought back to the United States from a soldier serving in Afghanistan. That’s about as far as the details go – the rest of the story is open to interpretation.

In any case, one thing we know for sure about Alien Technology is that this herb has 100% Indica genetics and more than enough punch to keep you blissfully incapacitated for hours.

Despite a (slightly) moderate average THC content of 17%, this herb hits on the same level as a much more powerful strain. She's also renowned for her fantastic fragrance and flavor profile, which has seen this hybrid lending her genetics to any number of new-generation superstar strains over the years. A few of which include Alien Dawg and Alien Kush - also well worth checking out. 

As this is the feminized version of Alien Technology, you won’t have to worry about problematic male plants posing a threat to your females. Relatively easy and supremely satisfying to grow at home, generous yields are more or less guaranteed with no specific effort or expertise required.

The crowning glory of Alien Technology is this herb's broad and diverse medical applications, which for obvious reasons err near exclusively towards the physical side of the spectrum.

Flavor and Fragrance of Alien Technology Feminized

One of the most appealing attributes of this strain is her sumptuous and straightforward fragrance and flavor profile. This isn't the kind of strain you need to be a seasoned connoisseur to appreciate – it’s a textbook illustration of classic skunky goodness at its absolute best.

Expect wave after wave of wet earth and spicy dankness, coupled with herbal undertones and the occasional hint of sandalwood. Break the buds open and there’s a distinct note of sourness to the scent, with plenty of pine freshness and classic cannabis funk.

Depending on the batch you pick up and how you consume it, you could pick up flavor notes of cedar, sandalwood or even vanilla on both the inhale and the exhale. Putting your finger on exactly what Alien Technology tastes like isn’t easy, for the simple reason that this stuff doesn’t taste like any conventional strain on the market.

Effects

Weighing in at approximately 17% THC, you’d be forgiven for thinking Alien Technology would be a (somewhat) milder strain with a gentle(ish) kick at best. In reality, what you get is a potent blast of quintessential Indica goodness, which after knocking you sideways lingers for a good 6 hours or so.

As long as you’ve nothing of importance on your calendar, this is a self-indulgent strain that takes some beating.

What’s particularly interesting with Alien Technology Feminized is the way in which her powerful sedating effects are complemented by a sense of clear headedness and pure positivity. You’re not simply reduced to a gibbering wreck for the duration – you’re focused and conscious enough to enjoy every minute of it.

Ferocious munchies are to be expected after a couple of hours, as you gravitate slowly towards drowsiness. You’ll most likely be fast asleep before you realize what’s happening, making this a superb evening smoke when you’ve nothing to do but indulge.

Not what you’d call a particularly social strain in the traditional sense, though can be great for rounding off the evening and ensuring you get a good night’s sleep.

Medical Uses of Alien Technology Feminized

Given this herb's 100% Indica genetics, the therapeutic applications of Alien Technology are primarily physical in nature. 

Initially, the effect is one of mild to moderate euphoria, making negative thoughts and the stresses of the day a thing of the past. You’re immediately eased into a sense of blissful contentment, which is quickly coupled by a deeply relaxing body stone that hits every inch of the body at the same time.

These relaxing and numbing properties of Alien Technology Fem make her great for getting to grips with all types of aches and pains, while strong connotations with the munchies make for an ideal treatment to reverse appetite issues.

Novice users with a low THC tolerance shouldn’t find this herb too hard to handle, though the sheer length of the sedating high can be disconcerting for some. Just be sure to plan accordingly, as getting anything done at all for a good few hours at least really isn’t an option.

Growing Alien Technology Feminized Seeds

The fact that this mysterious strain was (apparently) brought home by an American soldier serving in Afghanistan gives a clear indication of these plants' preferred climate. Long story short, unless you live somewhere with similar weather to that of Afghanistan, you’ll need to set things up indoors.

Keeping temperatures around 23° C is essential to get the best out of your plants, but this is about as far as the required involvement goes.

Alien Technology Feminized is a strain that more or less grows herself, manifesting in the form of short and stout plants with dense foliage and exceptionally sticky flowers. An occasional prune may be necessary to ensure good air circulation and prevent mold, while keeping an eye on humidity levels to be safe.

Despite their tiny size and easy-grow characteristics, these plants have the potential to produce as much as 500g of quality weed for every square meter of grow space.

As this is the feminized version of the strain, you’ll be looking at all female plants with an approximate probability rate of 99%. It’s also worth remembering that a little of this herb goes a surprisingly long way, meaning even a single plant will gift you with enough to keep you going for quite some time.

Summary

A product of pure pedigree and guaranteed to leave a lasting legacy, Alien Technology Feminized is a modern classic that deserves respect. The fact that nobody really knows how this cannabis came to be only adds to the considerable appeal – a little mystery and speculation is never a bad thing.

With 100% Indica genetics and an uncomplicated fragrance/flavor profile, this herb is the quintessential crowd pleaser you can’t help but appreciate. Particularly when given how easy the cultivation is, with plants more or less taking care of themselves from start to finish.
