Alien Labs
About Alien Labs
Founded in 2015 by Ted Lidie, Alien Labs is one of the most recognized premium cannabis brands in California. With origins in Northern California, the company rose to fame by producing exotic cannabis strains that quickly became staples for connoisseurs. Known for its bold branding and craft ethos, Alien Labs blends streetwear and skate culture with meticulous cultivation practices, creating a brand that resonates both culturally and botanically.
Origins & Rise to Fame
Alien Labs started in Redding, California, where Ted Lidie refined his cultivation approach through small-batch grows and pheno hunting. Unlike large commercial operations, Alien Labs emphasized quality over quantity, giving each plant detailed care to maximize flavor, aroma, and potency.
The brand’s early recognition came from standout strains like Do-Si-Dos, which helped put Alien Labs — and Redding itself — on the cannabis map. From there, Alien Labs gained momentum as one of the most in-demand flower brands in California.
Cannabis Cup Awards & Recognition
Alien Labs’ reputation for excellence was cemented with multiple wins at the 2021 High Times Cannabis Cup Arizona, where it dominated the flower categories:
Melonade – 1st Place Sativa Flower
Kryptochronic – 1st Place Indica Flower
Gelato 41 Pre-Roll – 1st Place Pre-Roll
These awards validated Alien Labs’ reputation as a producer of award-winning cannabis flower with unmatched terpene profiles and effects.
Partnership with Connected Cannabis Co.
In 2017, Alien Labs partnered with Connected Cannabis Co., combining two of California’s leading cannabis innovators. This partnership expanded Alien Labs into Arizona, giving more consumers access to its top-shelf cannabis while maintaining its craft cultivation standards. Together, the two brands represent some of the most exclusive strains and high-THC flower available today.
