Lazer Gun is Preferred Gardens' hybrid of Georgia Pie and Zkittlez, the Z parent now formally called The Original Z. It sits at the flavor-first end of a catalog better known for gas, and both of its parents are far better documented than the cross itself.
Where It Comes From
Preferred Gardens is a California operation founded by David Polley in 2015, with cultivation history the brand traces back to 2005 and the medical market that preceded legalization. It stays family-owned with no outside investors and runs both mixed-light greenhouse and indoor production.
One naming wrinkle is worth clearing up before you go shopping. Georgia Pie also travels under the name Sticky Buns, so both names turn up on menus and indexes pointing at the same parent. If you see Sticky Buns x Zkittlez and Georgia Pie x Zkittlez on two different listings, that is one cross with two labels, not two crosses.
The Cross
Preferred Gardens is the brand behind the finished flower, and both parents are well documented elsewhere.
Georgia Pie is a Seed Junky Genetics release, commonly published as Gelatti crossed with Kush Mints #11, with caryophyllene, limonene and humulene as its dominant terpenes. It travels under the shorthand Gep as well as under Sticky Buns, which is a lot of names for one plant and part of why its offspring get mislabeled.
Zkittlez came out of Northern California through 3rd Gen Family and Terp Hogz. Grapefruit is the parent the breeders have always pointed to, and the rest of the pedigree was never disclosed. Terp Hogz adopted the name The Original Z in 2023 after a settlement with a candy company over trademark concerns. Z took first place at the 2016 Emerald Cup, and that placement belongs to the parent, not to Lazer Gun.
Put together, this is orchard-fruit-and-pastry weight from the Seed Junky side meeting bright candy lift from the Z side. Retail listings and brand photography show dense, resin-heavy flower with green calyxes, purple or pink shading and orange pistils. Color and density shift with phenotype and room, not with the label.
What It Left Behind
Lazer Gun's footprint is retail rather than editorial. It circulates through Preferred Gardens' own menus and third-party delivery catalogs, and that product copy is the source of most of what has been written about it. Anything calling the cultivar award-winning is borrowing from the parent or making it up.
That thin record is not a knock on the plant so much as a fact about its age. It is young, it is regional, and it has not yet been through enough hands to have a reputation independent of the brand growing it.
What it does have is a grower with a long record and two parents whose own histories are easy to trace, which is more than most young California crosses can offer a buyer standing at a counter.
The High Rise Take
Lazer Gun is Preferred Gardens' Georgia Pie x Original Z hybrid, sitting at the sweeter end of a catalog that usually leans the other way. Follow the peach-cobbler side of the family through its Seed Junky parent next.
