What is the Chernobyl S1 strain?
Chernobyl S1 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its happy effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Chernobyl S1 is a feminized self-pollinated version of the legendary Chernobyl strain, originally bred by TGA Genetics (SubCool's The Dank). The original Chernobyl was created by crossing Trainwreck with Jack the Ripper and Trinity, producing a sativa-dominant hybrid that won High Times Strain of the Year in 2010. The S1 version preserves these genetics through self-pollination of select phenotypes, particularly the highly sought-after 'Slymer' cut. This strain exhibits the classic lime slurpee aroma and flavor profile that made the original famous, with dense trichome coverage and vibrant buds displaying olive green tones with orange pistils. Known for its 'devastatingly powerful' effects according to High Times, Chernobyl S1 maintains the energetic yet balanced high that made its parent strain legendary among cannabis connoisseurs.
The strain produces medium to small tight buds covered in a sparkle of trichomes with orange hairs throughout. Growers appreciate its relatively forgiving nature and stunning fade during late flowering, often displaying beautiful magenta and purple hues. Chernobyl S1 represents a preservation of classic cannabis genetics, offering modern cultivators access to the potent lime-citrus flavored strain that helped define contemporary hybrid breeding.
