Blue Alien
A stunning indica-heavy masterpiece crossing Blueberry with Alien Kush F2—celebrated for its electric blue hues and deep berry musk.
What is Blue Alien?
Blue Alien is an interstellar creation from Pacific NW Roots, a breeder synonymous with the "Kush" and "Blueberry" movements of the Pacific Northwest. By crossing the legendary Blueberry with Alien Kush F2, they have created a hybrid that captures the nostalgic fruit sweetness of the 90s with the crushing potency and resin density of modern Alien genetics.
Unlike many modern "hype" strains bred for the lab, Blue Alien is a true connoisseur flower. It prioritizes aesthetic beauty, featuring calyxes that can turn deep indigo or neon blue under the right conditions. The terpene profile is a complex dance of sweet rot, ripe berries, and a heavy, metallic earthiness that reminds you of its Alien lineage. This is a must-have for those who appreciate flower that looks as good as it smokes.
Terpene Profile
The Blue Alien strain terpenes provide a sensory journey through a dark fruit orchard. The aroma is thick and "heavy," often described as blueberry jam left in a damp forest. It possesses a lingering sweetness on the exhale that is unmistakably Blueberry-derived.
Growing Blue Alien
Blue Alien is a grower’s delight for those who love short, stocky, and productive indica plants. It stays relatively low during the vegetative stage and exhibits a manageable stretch once flipped to flower. Because of its dense bud structure, maintaining proper airflow in late flower is critical.
Key Growing Tips
-
Color DevelopmentNighttime temperature drops (below 65°F) in the final weeks will trigger deep blues
-
AirflowBuds are exceptionally dense; keep humidity low (<45%) during the final 3 weeks
-
FeedingA "hungry" strain that handles heavy P/K boosters well during mid-flower
Focus on the "Slow Dry." Because Blue Alien is a flower-first strain, drying at 60°F/60% RH for 14 days is essential to preserve the delicate berry terpenes that make it world-class.
The Ultimate Smoke: Flower Quality
Blue Alien is widely known as a **non-washer strain**. Its resin heads are often too waxy or oily to provide high yields in bubble hash or live rosin extractions. However, as smokeable flower, it is a "Top Shelf" contender. The trichomes are large and sticky, coating every crevice of the flower, ensuring a slow, flavor-packed burn.
Effects & Experience
The **Blue Alien strain effects** are a classic "Indica Melt." While the Blueberry lineage provides a happy, giggly mental state initially, the Alien Kush F2 quickly takes over with a profound physical numbness. It is a preferred choice for evening relaxation and movie marathons.
