Alien Kush Auto

Alien Kush Auto: Spicy and Sweet

Alien Kush Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with short green leaves and massive buds. The buds are crown-shaped and dense. They appear to be pale green, but that is only because of the crystal resin trichomes covering the exterior of the plant. The buds feature orange and brown pistils that nearly fade away underneath the resin. The harvested nuggets are dense with green and orange leaves and hairs. Breaking these nuggets apart will release that earthy and sweet aroma we discussed earlier. If you choose to break these nuggets up with your hands, your fingers will be coated in resiny trichomes. The Alien Kush Auto strain of cannabis has yet to win any major awards. The Alien OG strain, which is within the lineage of Alien Kush Auto, has won several awards, making AKA a winner by proxy. AKA is also very well-received with tons of good reviews online. Growers and users both love this strain and would recommend it to novice growers looking to cut their teeth on a potent bud.
