About Tahoe Alien
Tahoe Alien is a foundational California hybrid developed by Obsoul33t of Alien Genetics. By pollinating the devastating, heavy-hitting Tahoe OG Kush cutting with an elite Alien Kush male (Las Vegas Purple Kush × Alien Technology), Alien Genetics created their most influential flagship cultivar. Tahoe Alien produces rock-hard, dark green and purple-flecked buds dripping in amber-tipped glandular trichomes. The aroma is intensely pungent—combining lemon-pine kerosene, sour diesel, sweet earthy hashish, and subtle floral spice. It delivers a fast-acting, deeply relaxing full-body stone that quiets racing thoughts and eases severe physical tension.
