Alien Genetics — the influential maker of Fruity Pebbles OG, Starfighter and Alien Rock Candy — is back with four crosses to his Kiwi Sours that are hot for 2026.
Hundreds of strains bear Alien Genetics’ DNA, including MAC1 and Cookies and Cream. According to Alien and Lady Alien, the two-person team, Alien Genetics is in pursuit of unique terpenes that have a “rotational,” palate-staining quality.
The hottest release of the Kiwi Sours crosses is dubbed Laura Palmer for Alien Genetics’ love of the show “Twin Peaks.” Laura Palmer is (Paris Rock Candy x Marshmallowz) and Kiwi Sours. Get that one before it sells out. Alien made “hundreds” of packs, but that supply is already running low.
The key is the insanely pedigreed Kiwi Sours, Alien Genetics’ Bubble Belts and Moon Arc. What’s in that? Bubble Belts is Rainbow Belts 3.0 and Tahoe Alien Bubble Gum, and it contains some Indiana Bubble Gum. Moon Arc is Moonbow 112 and Alien Rock Candy.
It’s “my favorite thing I’ve made in a long time,” Alien said. “It has a terp profile I just could not get away from. It was sour all over the place, a lot of gas, a lot of kiwi fruit flavor and a ton of candy. It has a bit of a rotational smell: One thing leads you to another, and another, and back around — gas, bubble gum, the kiwi fruit, sour candy. It’s one of those jars you can’t stop opening because it’s a bit of a journey.”
Alien hit Kiwi Sours to (Paris Rock Candy x Marshmallowz), which is [(Perris OG x Alien Rock Candy) x (Hollywood Pure Kush x Moon Arc)]. It’s another epic one in the garden.
“It’s one of the loudest flowers I’ve ever smelled. Being in the room while it is harvested is overwhelming and almost offensive to the senses,” Alien said. “I harvested a room of it this morning, and the best way to describe it is: sharp astringent gas, Pine-Sol OG Kush, bitter skunk. It’s got a complex perfume with a bit of candy deep in the background.”
Together with the Kiwi Sours? Yes.
Alien said all the Laura Palmers have the same smell and taste and vary mainly by height. The taller ones yield a little better.
Alien Genetics bred all the Kiwi Sours crosses indoors for organic soil conditions. Alien likes to top them once. They’re going outside in gardens this year. Laura Palmer likes a pretty typical vegetative, flower and harvest process. Alien did recommend some extra silicate.
“The branches just exploded,” he said.
Alien Genetics would love for folks to get some packs and win a hash cup with a pheno, or find a stud and keep on working it. Although it’s tough to think what could improve on all that goodness already packed in there.
Alien imagines hitting it back to his Fruity Pebbles OG, but that’s a story for another time.
Founded in 1999 in Honeydew, California, Alien has moved operations to the East Coast, focusing heavily on the New Jersey and New York markets. The company is also currently forming partnerships with commercial facilities from Maine to Florida.
Pot Farmer’s Almanac: May 2026
Get your clones May 16-17 during California’s first Clonetopia at San Francisco’s Solful dispensary and 7 Stars Holistic Healing Center in Richmond, California. More than 15 varieties from four nurseries will be available, and you can meet the nursery operators.
HendRx Nursery is bringing out its selection of Tire Fire OG for $1,500 per clone. They also have “Surprise 6” packs of six clones for $150 — dealer’s choice.
Purple City Genetics has the never-before-released cut of Habibi (Z x Moroccan Peaches), as well as Lemon Cherry Congo, Watermelon Dream and Cel-Ray. Talking Trees brings out some GDP x Urkle cuts, as well as Strawberry Pop. Haze Valley Nursery offers three varieties of Tom Hill Haze for $1,500 for the three-pack. Haze Valley is also selling clones of the strains Hashburger and Grape Lobster. More info is available at sfspacewalk.com.
It’s clone-hardening-off and planting season, which means slowly getting your baby cutting used to the sun and the weather. Harden off your clones by taking them outside in the morning and exposing them to shaded sunlight for a little bit longer each day for a week. Bring them in at night. Remember: Don’t overwater a clone. After a week of increasing amounts of shaded sunlight, plant the clone in a 20-gallon fabric pot of high-quality organic tomato potting soil, and place it in the sunlight.
