Alien OG Auto by Fatbush Seeds
Ruderalis × Alien OG
Alien OG Auto, developed by Fatbush Seeds, is an auto-flowering cultivar designed for growers seeking the potency and aroma of OG genetics in a fast-finishing, indica-leaning plant. It combines a ruderalis donor with an indica-dominant Alien OG selection, offering ease of cultivation and a compact structure.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically grows into a stout, bushy plant, often reaching heights between 60-100 cm indoors and 90-120 cm outdoors. It features broad, dark green leaves characteristic of indica varieties, with dense, resin-coated buds that can develop spear-like colas. Some phenotypes may exhibit faint purple hues along the calyx tips under cooler nighttime temperatures.
The plant's structure is well-suited for smaller growing spaces, with compact internodal spacing that enhances light utilization. While generally sturdy, the dense flowers may benefit from late-flower support to prevent lodging.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
Aromatically, Alien OG Auto presents a complex profile dominated by gas and citrus notes, layered over earthy undertones. Initial scents can be intensely fuel-like, especially when the plant is disturbed, with hints of pine and warm earth. During drying and curing, these aromas concentrate, often revealing diesel and pine notes with a touch of citrus rind.
The flavor follows the aroma, with initial bright, lemony, and piney tastes giving way to peppery, diesel, and earthy notes on the exhale. A resinous mouthfeel is often noted, contributing to a lingering aftertaste that can be enhanced by proper curing.
Effects
As an indica-leaning hybrid, Alien OG Auto is reported to provide a relaxing and potent experience. The effects are generally characterized by a heavy, body-focused sensation that can be calming and sedating, often accompanied by a cerebral uplift. Its potency makes it a choice for those seeking significant relaxation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is anchored by Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, contributing to its earthy, citrus, and peppery notes. Other terpenes like Linalool and Pinene may also be present, adding floral and pine nuances. The cannabinoid content typically features THC levels ranging from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%, underscoring its psychoactive potential.
Growing Characteristics
Alien OG Auto is bred for ease of cultivation, transitioning to flower automatically based on age rather than light cycles. This auto-flowering trait allows for a relatively quick crop cycle, often from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days. The plant's indica morphology and ruderalis vigor contribute to its hardiness and ability to tolerate mild stress.
Its compact size makes it suitable for indoor grows, particularly in tents or micro-grows, and its auto-flowering nature allows for multiple harvests per season in outdoor settings in temperate climates. Growers can expect dependable results without complex light management.
Origins and Lineage
Alien OG Auto is a hybrid created by Fatbush Seeds, blending a stable, auto-flowering Ruderalis donor with an indica-leaning selection of Alien OG. This cross aims to preserve the classic OG characteristics, such as potent effects and a distinct aroma profile, while incorporating the rapid growth and auto-flowering capabilities of Ruderalis genetics.
