Also known as: Avatar OG, Avatar Kush
Overview
Avatar is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (80% sativa/20% indica) created through crossing the classic Jack Herer and Champagne strains. Named after the iconic James Cameron movie, Avatar displays a visually striking appearance reminiscent of the film's blue characters, featuring fat, dense grape-shaped emerald green nugs with beautiful sapphire blue undertones, bright orange hairs, and a coating of thick, frosty blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. This strain is notable for its unique 1:1 THC to CBD ratio, with both cannabinoids ranging from 15-30%, making it particularly valuable for medical applications.
The strain produces aromas of fresh sugary berries and spicy earth when broken apart, with a flavor profile that mirrors its aroma - offering a sweet sugary blueberry taste accented by touches of spice and earth. Avatar is known for its high potency and is often recommended for experienced users rather than beginners due to its strong effects. The strain has gained popularity in the United States for its balanced cannabinoid profile and therapeutic potential.
