Alien Rock Candy (ARC)

Lineage: Sour Dubb x Tahoe Alien

Hybrid

Breeder: Alien Genetics

Alien Genetics has been breeding top-tier genetics since the 1990s, including signature strains Tahoe Alien and Starfighter.

Proper’s calling card. With a deep, sour soil aroma intertwined with candy-sweet berry and lemon-lime citrus notes, its aroma and flavor are unparalleled. Combine that with its world class potency and you’ll understand why Alien Rock Candy is such a special strain. While ARC flower is a joy to puff, it really shines in our live resin and full spectrum hash rosin, where its flavor and aroma seem to intensify ten-fold.

ARC’s effects start off uplifting and fun, but then the deep, stoney relaxation hits. And it hits hard. Depending on the amount you consume, this can be a perfect strain to help you fall asleep and, more importantly, stay asleep.

If you’re a fan of Alien Rock Candy, we highly recommend you try Love Affair, an accidental cross of Alien Rock Candy and Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4). Love Affair has ARC’s sweet berry flavor but with more notes of cedar and spice. The effects are less sedative and more uplifting and giggly, but no less potent.

From our cultivators:

“The original ARC seeds were popped over 11 years ago and it’s just become more vigorous over time. It grows very vertical and is difficult to train to grow outwards, and with its medium height, it’s perfect for our platform. It vegs slower than most strains and, despite the hearty vigor of the stem, the root mass isn’t as large as you’d think. You have to be pretty focused when drying it back.”

“It gets some amazing fall colors during flushing: magenta, purple, green, orange, and so on. It’s a beautiful, unique plant.”
