33rd Degree
Overview
33rd Degree is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by the renowned breeding company In House Genetics, resulting from crossing Platinum (a phenotype of Platinum Kush consisting of OG Kush x Afghani) with Gelato #33 (Sunset Sherbert x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies). The name '33rd Degree' evokes an aura of mystery, suggesting a high level of refinement and sophistication inherent to the strain's breeding process, with its history steeped in the rich legacy of In House Genetics. This acclaimed strain has steadily grown in popularity due to its reliably potent effects and well-rounded profile, proudly carrying a robust genetic heritage that offers balanced effects appealing to users seeking both calming relaxation and uplifting mental clarity.
The strain develops a vigorous and compact structure typical of modern indicas, producing large, rounded, and extremely resinous buds covered by a thick layer of trichomes that give it a frosty appearance. 33rd Degree displays orange-cream and cookie/citrus aromas with sweet gas undertones, producing dense buds packed with trichomes and a sweet, creamy, and slightly minty aroma that captivates the senses. The strain flowers in approximately 8-9 weeks (60-75 days) and can yield 450-650 grams per square meter indoors, or up to 1 kilogram per plant outdoors.

Growing Information
Growing 33rd Degree is suitable for beginner growers as the plants do much of the work themselves, requiring minimal trimming and occasional light changes with relatively compact cannabis plants ideal for indoor cultivation. The genetics appreciate early training techniques such as topping or LST (Low Stress Training), which help open up the plant and promote more uniform flower production. Indoor growers can expect flowering time as short as 8-9 weeks with high yields using SOG or SCROG methods. For outdoor and greenhouse growers, harvest time is expected around early October, with the strain showing great resistance and adaptability to different climatic conditions. During flowering phase, careful humidity monitoring is advised to avoid mold problems given the high resin production.
