Origins and Lineage
Bred by Sin City Seeds, Alien Nightmare is a predominantly indica hybrid. While specific parental lines are not always definitively published, it is understood to combine genetics from the 'Alien' family, known for resin production and structure, with the 'Nightmare' branch, which contributes fruit-forward and haze-like aromatics. This cross results in a plant with robust bag appeal and a layered sensory experience.
