Alien Rock Candy strain guide
Alien Rock Candy is an indica-leaning hybrid made from Tahoe Alien and Sour Dubble. People know it for a sweet citrus and fruit smell and a relaxed feel that often turns sleepy. It is sometimes listed simply as Alien Candy.
Where does Alien Rock Candy come from?
Sources agree the parents are Tahoe Alien, an OG-family strain, and Sour Dubble, a frosty, sour-smelling hybrid. It is credited to Alien Genetics, though its breeding history isn't widely documented beyond that.
The "rock candy" part of the name is usually read as a nod to its sweet smell and heavy coat of frost.
What does Alien Rock Candy smell and taste like?
Most people describe it as sweet and fruity, with citrus, orange and apricot notes and a pungent Kush base underneath. Some reviewers mention grape or tropical fruit, and one compared the taste to a minty cookie. The flavour is usually sweet, lemony and smooth.
Published terpene data lists myrcene first, followed by limonene and caryophyllene. Limonene fits the citrus side, myrcene the earthy depth and caryophyllene a peppery touch.

Buying Alien Rock Candy in Canada
Alien Rock Candy is a less common name, and it may appear as Alien Candy. Check the label for THC, CBD and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that sweet citrus smell.
If you find it, it's most likely to be dried flower or pre-rolls.
Alien Rock Candy vs Sour Dubble
Sour Dubble is one of Alien Rock Candy's parents, and it shares that frosty, sour-sweet character.
