Alien Cookies is a 50/50 hybrid strain that absolutely lives up to its name, with an otherworldly terpene profile and a mild but mind-lifting high. The strain goes great with being social, doing art projects, eating, sleeping, movies, even doing nothing at all. Jaws Gear went and bred a fantastic strain, using genetics from Alien Dawg and Girl Scout Cookies. Experienced users are going to flourish on a few drags of this relaxing, elevating strain. New users are going to want to stop at one.

Alien Cookies’ nugs grow in leafy, bright lumps nestled among deep amber pistils and thick chunks of orange, snowy trichomes. The strain’s deeply colored buds grow in about 8 to 10 weeks, absolutely covered in those trichomes. Growers familiar with Oracle and Dark Knight strains know what to expect with Alien Cookies, which can be grown outside or in.

GROWERS TIP: Alien Cookies grows in a tall plant, lanky and gorgeous but a little weak. You have to support Alien Cookies with stakes to keep the plant upright and prevent it from buckling. We recommend stakes at least three feet long for the best results.

Alien Cookies has a 21% THC average and provides a relaxing high. The taste is a product of several terpenes that create a full-bodied flavor of fruit, herbs, and nuts. Sabinene provides an orange-like flavor, Phellandrene the taste of plume and pine, Bisabolol a nutty dimension, and Humulene the herbal taste of earthy tea. The result is a pungent, earthy taste that lays fruit flavors on the top of your tongue and pushes through with nutty, potent Kush tastes, almost like a mix of herbs and vanilla.

The effects of Alien Cookies differ depending on how much you take, but most will feel happy and relaxed at first, moving on to a state of peaceful sedation. You’ll be grounded to your couch, hungry, and probably sleeping before long, assuming a normal human tolerance. While emptying your fridge may not fit into your diet plans, laying around and snacking may be exactly what you need after a hard day’s work. The strain goes perfectly with a great movie, some social time with friends, arts and crafts, yoga, reading, or other low-key activities.

This makes Alien Cookies a great strain to treat chronic anxiety, stress, and depression. Its ability to make you hungry helps people recovering from surgery or suffering from a stress-related loss of appetite a reason to start eating again. Insomniacs will find themselves drifting off in no time to a planet of Alien Cookies.
