Top 5 Strains of 2026

Every year somebody asks us the same question at the door: “So what’s actually good right now?” Fair question. Menus change fast, and half the strain names out there sound made up. So here it is — our honest list of the best strains of 2026, based on what our High Desert customers keep reordering, not on hype.

1. King Louis XIII — Still the King of Indicas

Some strains just refuse to go out of style. King Louis XIII has been around forever, and it’s still one of the best indica strains you can buy in 2026. Heavy pine and earth on the nose, and the kind of body relaxation that makes your couch feel like a five-star hotel. We carry it as a 1g THC pod, and it moves fast. If you have trouble winding down at night, start here.

2. Permanent Marker

Yes, it’s still on the list. Permanent Marker blew up a couple years back and it earned the staying power — a Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb cross with a loud, funky-sweet smell that fills the room before you even open the jar. Balanced hybrid effects: social, creative, not couch-locking. Good daytime-into-evening pick.

3. Z OG

Our best-selling top-shelf flower this year, no contest. Z OG takes that candy Zkittlez sweetness and puts it on a classic OG frame — dense, colorful buds, smooth smoke. We stock it from 3.5g up to full ounces in the flower section, plus preroll 6-packs when we can keep them in stock. Which isn’t always, honestly.

4. Blue Razz Slush

One for the dab crowd. Blue Razz Slush in live resin form tastes exactly like the name — icy blue raspberry, almost dessert-like. The terps survive extraction beautifully, which is why it shows up in our concentrates lineup as sugar and badder. If flavor is your whole thing, this is your strain.

5. Watermelon Jolly Candy Ice

Disposables took over, and flavor-chasing profiles like this one are why. Sweet watermelon up front, cool menthol-ish finish, zero harshness. It’s the one we recommend when someone says “I want something easy for the weekend.” Find it with the rest of the vape pens.

Quick Advice Before You Order

Strain lists are a starting point, not gospel. The same flower hits different people differently — an indica that knocks out your friend might just make you hungry. If you’re trying something new, grab the smaller size first. And if you’re stuck deciding, our drivers deliver same-day across Victorville, Apple Valley, Hesperia and the rest of the High Desert, so the cost of experimenting is pretty low.
