Alien Labs recently added another hitter to their California lineup with the official launch of Planetary OG strain, a new product recently dropped across licensed dispensaries statewide. This cultivar is already popping up on menus in Los Angeles, Sacramento, the Bay Area, San Diego, and several well known retail partners in between. We got to try it out courtesy of the homies over at Catalyst in Hawthorne.
The early response from consumers has been strong, and based on the profile, it makes perfect sense.
Planetary OG is Alien Labs doing what they do best. It is loud, it is flavorful, and it stays true to the classic California Kush experience while still feeling modern. The flower is testing in the high twenties on THC in multiple verified listings, with the type of terp structure that makes you crack the jar twice.
The Genetics Shine Through
Let’s get the lineage right. Planetary OG comes from Propane Valley and Area 41, two strong performers from Alien Labs’ catalog and some of their most respected genetics.
- Propane Valley brings the gas, structure, and that unmistakable Kush weight that OG lovers chase.
- Area 41 delivers a gassy edge, the creamy brightness, and the layered terpene expression Alien Labs is known for.
Put together, these two cultivars create a cross that feels authentically Alien Labs top to bottom. Planetary OG captures the best of both parents: OG from Propane Valley, and gelato complexity from Area 41.
Aroma and Flavor
This is where Planetary OG really flexes. The moment you open the jar you get hit with a sweet lemon, bright pine, and slightly sugary citrus finish. That lemon note jumps out first. Then the pine and earth come in behind it, giving the nose that grounded Kush depth without losing the sweet edge.
On the smoke, the sweet piney gas stays up front, and the lemon cream becomes even more pronounced, creating a balanced and flavorful inhale. It is fresh, bright, clean, and surprisingly smooth for such a dense and terp heavy strain. The sweetness rounds out the sharper Kush notes and makes the whole profile more dynamic.
If you like strains that fill the room within seconds, Planetary OG sits comfortably in that category.
Effects and Experience
Planetary OG hits with a clean and heavy relaxation that settles into the body first while keeping the mind present and clear. The Propane Valley influence provides that strong OG style weight, while Area 41 helps keep the experience more uplifting and enjoyable instead of overpowering.
Consumers are reporting a calm, peaceful, uplifting high with a body buzz and comfortable head clarity. It is the type of strain that works well at the end of the day when you want to relax without feeling sluggish.
Alien Labs is known for crafting balanced and intentional experiences, and this one lands exactly in that zone. They do not drop random cultivars just to fill shelves. When they put out a new strain, it means they trust the genetics, the terpene profile, and the overall quality.
Planetary OG continues the brand’s focus on terp heavy, flavor driven, high performance flower that actually lives up to connoisseur expectations.
For the California market, this release reinforces Alien Labs’ position as one of the most reliable premium flower producers in the state. In my opinion, it’s definitely a strain worth keeping on your radar, reviewing on YouTube, and showcasing in any OG focused content series.
Planetary OG has been available for about a month at Alien Labs’ verified partner dispensaries across California, including major retailers in Los Angeles, the Bay, Sacramento, San Diego, and the Central Valley. Always stick to licensed retailers and verified menus to avoid fakes.
Planetary OG has big terp energy, bright kush aroma, sweet lemon, pine heavy , and a gas-rooted lineage grounded in Propane Valley and Area 41. It looks good, it smells better, and the smoke stands up to the hype.
