Alien Genetics

Alien Genetics is a boutique American cannabis seed bank founded in 2009 by the enigmatic breeder known as Alien. The company is renowned for its work with rare and exotic landrace genetics, particularly those from the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Alien's philosophy centers on genetic preservation and the creation of stable, true-breeding cultivars with exceptional resin production and unique terpene profiles. **Key Contributions & Philosophy:** * **Genetic Preservation:** A core mission is to preserve and work with pure, unhybridized landrace strains, which are considered the building blocks of modern cannabis genetics. * **The "Alien" Lineage:** The breeder's most famous contribution is the **Alien Technology** and **Alien Dawg** lines. These are not single strains but foundational breeding stock used to create a family of cultivars known for dense trichome coverage, complex aromas (often fuel, citrus, and earth), and potent effects. * **Collaborations:** Alien Genetics is known for high-profile collaborations, most notably with **Seed Junky Genetics** (creating the iconic **Wedding Cake**) and with Jungle Boys, helping to establish many modern elite clones. * **Breeding Approach:** Focuses on meticulous selection, inbreeding for stability, and introducing novel terpene expressions from its preserved landrace libraries into modern hybrid lines. The work is often described as "craft breeding" rather than mass production. While the founder maintains a low public profile, the genetic impact of Alien Genetics is profound, with its lines serving as critical components in countless award-winning modern hybrids found in dispensaries worldwide.

Lemon Alien Dawg

THC 22.5%
CBD 0.2%

**Lemon Alien Dawg** is a potent hybrid strain that masterfully blends the genetics of Lemon Kush and Alien Dawg. This strain is celebrated for its exceptionally high THC content, often reaching 22-25%, making it a favorite among experienced consumers seeking powerful effects. **Genetics & Lineage:** A 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid resulting from crossing Lemon Kush with Alien Dawg. It inherits the sharp citrus profile from its Lemon Kush parent and the potent, spacey effects from the Alien Dawg lineage. **Effects & Experience:** The high begins with a cerebral rush characterized by intense euphoria and mental clarity, typical of its sativa heritage. This initial burst of energy and creativity gradually mellows into a deeply relaxing body stone that soothes muscles without causing excessive sedation. The balanced effect profile makes it suitable for evening use when you want to unwind but remain functional. **Medical Applications:** Particularly effective for managing chronic pain, stress, and anxiety disorders. Patients report significant relief from inflammation, muscle tension, and depressive symptoms. The mood-elevating properties can help combat fatigue while the physical relaxation addresses bodily discomfort. **Cultivation Notes:** Grows well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled conditions. Plants develop a classic Christmas tree structure with dense, resin-coated buds that emit a pungent citrus-fuel aroma during late flowering. Requires attention to humidity control to prevent mold in dense colas. **Terpene Profile:** Dominated by limonene, which contributes to the strain's signature lemon aroma and mood-enhancing effects. Caryophyllene adds spicy undertones and anti-inflammatory benefits, while myrcene provides the characteristic earthy base and sedative qualities.
