Welcome Aboard the Mothership!
Since 2014, AlienLabs has redefined cannabis with extraterrestrial precision. Guided by founder Ted Lidie's obsession with exceptional genetics and cultivation methods, this brand delivers strains that defy the ordinary.
"We're for the outsiders," Lidie says, acknowledging the weird and wonderful community of cannabis connoisseurs who seek something more. "AlienLabs is a lifestyle. If you're a nerd or not a nerd, anyone can be part of this."
Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or newly curious about the canna-verse, AlienLabs invites you to explore it all, knowing — you are not alone.
Alien Arrival: From Redding to the Stars
AlienLabs first landed in the quiet town of Redding, California, where Lidie transformed his six-light grow operation into a launchpad for interstellar cannabis. From his humble homemade lab, he fused generational cultivation techniques with bold experimentation, charting a new course for cannabis innovation.
The earliest AlienLabs strains, classics like Dosido, Animal Cookies, and Wedding Cake, set the tone for the brand's signature style: rich, flavorful, and visually striking. What started as a small-town dream has grown into a phenomenon, captivating cannabis enthusiasts in search of unique strains.
Out-of-This-World Innovation
At AlienLabs, innovation isn't just a goal, it's their mission. Bravely exploring the frontier of the world's most exceptional genetics, they craft strains with fresh flavors and aromatic profiles that are truly out of this world.
"Pheno hunting is the bread and butter of AlienLabs," Lidie says of his process. "We pop about 4,000 seeds per year to get 500 plant positions, five times per year. So that's about 2,500 different varieties we're looking through per year in an effort to see what can make the menu."
Their cultivation strategies are equally cutting-edge. From under-canopy lighting that mimics the glow of distant stars to revolutionary techniques that optimize each grow cycle, AlienLabs consistently pushes the boundaries of what's possible in cannabis cultivation.
They've also explored every grow medium under the stars in their quest for perfection. Their medium of choice today? Coco, the natural fibers nestled between a coconut's husk and outer shell. This sustainable option delivers a balanced grow environment, producing smooth, flavorful flower with the consistent quality their customers have come to expect.
Breeding for the Future
When it comes to developing their genetics, AlienLabs carefully hand-pollinates female plants with pollen from meticulously selected males, creating seeds that carry traits from both parents. The result? Strains with distinctive flavors and striking visuals.
With an extensive genetic library curated by Lidie and his team, AlienLabs crafts exclusive strains customers won't find anywhere else. Their goal when it comes to breeding is simple: deliver unique flower that redefines aroma and beauty.
