Alien Pharaoh
Alien OG × King Tut × Pharaoh OG × Alien Kush × Alien Cookies
Alien Pharaoh is a boutique hybrid strain known for its classic West Coast potency and a regal aroma profile. It is often found in limited, small-batch releases rather than mass-market production.
Appearance
Alien Pharaoh typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in trimming. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and can display lime to emerald green hues with occasional violet sugar leaf flecks. Rust-colored pistils are also commonly observed.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Alien Pharaoh is assertive, often starting with bright lemon notes layered over a deep diesel scent. Underlying this are hints of pine resin and herbaceousness, with a sweet, candied fruit undertone. Upon combustion or vaporization, the flavor leans towards citrus and berry, with diesel, pepper, and cedar notes emerging on the exhale.
Effects
Consumers often report a rapid onset of cerebral effects, leading to a clear and focused headspace. This initial uplift is typically followed by a sense of grounded physical relaxation that can deepen over time. The effects are generally described as lasting for a few hours.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Alien Pharaoh is a THC-dominant strain, typically testing between 20-23% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. Its terpene profile is often characterized by limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene. Limonene contributes citrus notes, beta-caryophyllene adds peppery spice, and myrcene brings earthy undertones.
Growing
This strain generally exhibits moderate internodal spacing and responds well to early training techniques like topping and low-stress training for indoor cultivation. Outdoor plants tend to develop a bushy structure. It is noted for vigorous resin production.
Origins & Lineage
The exact origins of Alien Pharaoh are not universally cemented, but it is believed to be a hybrid that combines genetics from the 'Alien' family with a royalty-themed counterpart. Common theories suggest crosses involving strains like Alien OG or Alien Kush with cultivars such as King Tut or Pharaoh OG.
