What is the Arctic Sun strain?
Arctic Sun is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and ammonia and citrus flavor profile.
Arctic Sun is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created by Flying Dutchmen through crossing two legendary strains: Skunk #1 and White Widow. This strain represents a marriage of old and new world genetics, combining the pungent, heady characteristics of Skunk #1 with the strong body-warming effects of White Widow. The buds are pepper-shaped and dark green in color with amber hues, orange hairs, and a thick coating of crystal white trichomes that give them a frosty appearance reminiscent of its Arctic namesake. Arctic Sun is known for its high potency and above-average yields, making it popular among both recreational users and medical patients. The strain produces dense, heavy buds with large bracts and few pistils, and when properly cured, offers a perfect balance of potency and everyday enjoyability. Flying Dutchmen is renowned for creating well-balanced strains that serve multiple purposes, and Arctic Sun exemplifies this reputation with its versatile effects profile.
