Alien OG
A Bay Area OG cross with lemon on top of the usual pine and earth — Tahoe OG meeting Alien Kush. Thin on partner shelves as flower, but Looper carries it as a Super Looper disposable and it turns up as an option at CBD.co.

Alien OG history & lineage
Leafly reports Alien OG as a cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush, first available as a clone in California’s Bay Area and now in seed form from Cali Connection. That is a clearer provenance than most OG-family names can claim, though it remains a catalogue attribution rather than a genetic record.
The catalogue names no breeder for the original clone, no date and no award. Both reported parents are OG-family cultivars in their own right, which is why Alien OG reads as an OG with a citrus accent rather than a departure from the family.
Aroma notes & reported terpenes
Pine, earthy and lemon are the catalogue’s descriptors: the pine-and-earth base is the OG signature, and the lemon is what the Alien Kush side is usually credited with adding. On a vape listing the same three words describe a flavour blend, not the plant.
Terpenes named by the catalogue: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene. These names are not measurements for a particular sample.
Reported effects, in context
These terms summarize the cited catalogue’s user-report categories. They are anecdotes, not controlled evidence or a promise of an effect. The library does not use them to recommend a strain for a medical condition.
For a particular sample, this article does not establish potency, contaminant results or suitability. Read our evidence guide to understand the difference between a catalogue description and a lab result.
Shop Alien OG at our partners
On a hemp shelf, Alien OG mostly means a terpene profile rather than a plant. Our retail partners listed two products (one at CBD.co and one at LooperVerse) carrying the name when we checked on 28 September 2026 — from Astro Eight and Looper — across vapes and disposables. None of them is flower: each carries an Alien OG-style terpene blend rather than the plant itself, and none is sold as verified Alien OG genetics. Where a card says option, the strain is one choice on a multi-strain product, so pick it on the vendor's page.
The December problem, in one paragraph
Almost every jar of "Alien OG-style" hemp flower on sale in the United States is sold as THCA flower, and THCA flower has a deadline on it. Section 781 of Public Law 119-37 rewrote the federal hemp definition to measure total THC rather than delta-9 alone, and total THC counts the THCA sitting in the bud. That single word removes essentially all THCA flower from the federal hemp category.
The date is contested and we hedge it deliberately. Several states bite earlier still. Our standing advice has not changed: plan for 12 November and treat 11 December as upside. We keep every moving part dated in the federal hemp deadline tracker, and the state-by-state guide is where to check your own.
Names, aliases & distinctions
Search aliases: Alien OG Kush, Alien Banana
Alien OG Kush and Alien Banana are the aliases Leafly lists. Alien Kush, one of its reported parents, is a separate cultivar, and Alien Head, Alien Exotics and similar names on vendor shelves are brand names, not strains. Product titles that pair Alien OG with a second name (UFO Train, Alien Rift) describe a blend or a two-strain pack rather than this cross.
Alien OG shares the OG Kush vocabulary of pine, earth and fuel with its cousins; see our OG Kush and Skywalker OG profiles for the rest of the family.
Alien OG FAQs
Can I buy Alien OG online?
Yes, as vapes and disposables. Our partners listed two Alien OG products — one at CBD.co and one at LooperVerse — on 28 September 2026, from Astro Eight and Looper. None of them is flower sold as Alien OG genetics — hemp growers largely sell their own cuts under their own names — so ask what is actually in the product and whether a batch COA backs the name.
Is Alien OG indica, sativa or hybrid?
The cited catalogue classifies Alien OG as a hybrid. This is a catalogue label; it does not establish a uniform chemical profile or reliably predict an individual’s experience.
What are Alien OG’s parent strains?
The cited catalogue reports Tahoe OG × Alien Kush. This is an attributed ancestry account, not genetic authentication.
What does Alien OG smell like?
The catalogue describes pine, earthy, lemon notes. These are sensory descriptions, not an ingredient list or an identity test. Different samples carrying the same name need not match the description.
What effects are reported for Alien OG?
The cited catalogue’s user-report categories include relaxed, tingly, euphoric. These are subjective reports, not controlled clinical findings, guaranteed outcomes or evidence that the strain treats a condition.
What is the THC percentage of Alien OG?
There is no single verified THC percentage assigned to Alien OG in this guide. A useful potency figure must be tied to a particular tested sample or batch, with a laboratory, date and units. A catalogue average or maximum cannot establish another sample’s THC or CBD content.
Which terpenes are reported for Alien OG?
The catalogue names Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene. This is an attributed description, not a measured ranking for a sample. A quantitative terpene chart would need a traceable laboratory report rather than percentages inferred from smell or the strain name.
Is Alien OG the same as Alien Kush?
No. Leafly reports Alien Kush as one of Alien OG’s two parents, alongside Tahoe OG. A parent and a descendant can share a name fragment and an aroma vocabulary while remaining separate cultivar records.
Where does Alien OG come from?
The catalogue says it was first available as a clone in California’s Bay Area and later in seed form from Cali Connection. It does not name the original breeder or a date, so treat any more specific origin story as unverified.
