Balboa
Overview
Developed by the innovative team at Nerds Genetics, Balboa blends traditional breeding techniques with modern genetic insights. The strain was developed with a focus on quality and consistency. Their meticulous work resulted in Balboa, which has since garnered recognition at multiple cannabis competitions and trade shows. Historical records indicate that in early 2019, the team began experimenting with unique indica-dominant genetics, leading to a series of test grows that surpassed expectations.
Balboa is an mostly indica from Nerds Genetics and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors (Where the plants will need a flowering time of ±60 days) This strain boasts dense, resinous buds that are a vibrant mix of green and purple hues, often coated in a layer of frosty trichomes. Its aroma is rich and earthy, with hints of pine, citrus, and a touch of sweet, diesel-like funk that make it both intriguing and satisfying. The terpenes on this are strictly old school OG lemon gassy funk, and are loud enough to require extra noise control!
Detailed lab tests indicate that the strain's THC content typically falls within the range of 18-24%, making it a potent offering in the indica category. Beyond THC, Balboa also contains trace amounts of CBD, usually ranging from 0.2-1%, which may contribute to a more balanced overall therapeutic profile. True to its name, this OG packs one hell of a punch, even for the Apollo Creeds of the smoking world.
