Lemon Alien

This is an indica dominant hybrid strain with 70% indica and 30% sativa. It is a creation of La Plata Labs as a hybrid between Super lemon Haze and Alien Bubba strain, both of which are powerful strains with strong genetics. Lemon Alien is also known as Super Lemon Alien strain

This strain has a sweet and spicy flavor while the scent is a mix of tropical and herbal. Like most indicas, the plants grow short and bushy with broad leaves. The buds are heavy and dense with orange colored pistils and white trichromes.

Being an indica, this strain has a very relaxing effect on the body that may tend towards being highly sedative. The cerebral effects will set in slowly but may leave you completely “spaced out” after an hour or so. This makes Lemon Alien a good strain for evening or night time use when you want to get rid of fatigue and fall into deep sleep. In case you take this in the morning, be prepared to take a nap in the course of the day. New patients especially may be overwhelmed by the effects of this strain. It has moderate THC levels of between 12%-15% and CBD of less than 1%.

Lemon Alien has a number of therapeutic properties; most notably it may be used in the treatment of glaucoma.

It is fairly easy to grow and does well both indoors and outdoors. Like most indicas, it gives a bountiful yield and takes a short time to flower.
