Tahoe Alien
- Woody (50% of reported flavors)
- Earthy (50% of reported flavors)
Alien Genetics bred Tahoe Alien by crossing Tahoe OG with Alien Kush, and the result smells like somebody cracked open a pine forest next to a gas can. Earth and sharp pine lead the charge, followed by tart lemon, woody herbs, spice, and a dirty little streak of fuel underneath.
There’s some sweetness hiding around the citrus, but Tahoe Alien isn’t dessert weed. This is old-school funk with cleaner edges, the kind of profile that still smells like cannabis instead of a bakery display case.
The high comes on with more lift than the indica-heavy genetics might suggest. Users describe a quick cerebral rush with euphoria and a brighter, more animated headspace before the body starts collecting its debt. Relaxation builds steadily underneath until Tahoe Alien settles into something heavier, calmer, and much less interested in whatever plans you made an hour ago.
The cultivar is reported to grow to a medium height, producing cone-shaped, light-green buds with amber trichomes and orange stigma hairs. While a 56-to-60-day flowering period is standard for this strain, some growers extend this cycle to increase density and potency. Sources claim that Tahoe Alien is best suited for indoor growing, but can also be cultivated outdoors in temperate climates.
In July 2017, Alien Genetics announced that it would use their remaining Tahoe Alien pollen and cross it with Sour Apple IBL to breed Alien Apple Wrap, marking the final time Tahoe Alien would be used to create new strains. Other popular strains that Tahoe Alien is reportedly a parent include Ewok, Moonwalker OG, and Alien Rock Candy.
