What is the Baklava strain?
Baklava is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Baklava is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) that was originally bred in 2019 by Alien Labs, a renowned Northern California breeding company. Named after the famous Mediterranean dessert for its sweet, layered flavor profile, this strain has quickly gained recognition in the cannabis community for its unique characteristics and potent effects. The strain crosses Kosher Kush, an award-winning indica known for its therapeutic properties and OG lineage, with Gelato 41, a sativa-leaning phenotype from the popular Gelato family that brings sweet, dessert-like flavors and powerful cerebral effects. Baklava buds are visually striking with dense, grape-shaped flowers displaying mixed colors of light and dark green with vibrant orange pistils and occasional purple highlights. The flowers are heavily coated with crystalline trichomes, giving them an almost fuzzy appearance that indicates high resin production and quality. Despite being indica-dominant, Baklava is known for its surprisingly energizing initial effects that gradually transition into relaxing body sensations.
