After years of pheno hunting and generational breeding, Chico has been locked in as a stable cultivar. The strain combines the energizing tropical qualities of its classic Hawaiian Sativa parent with the relaxing indica-dominant characteristics of Watermelon Kush, resulting in a balanced hybrid that offers both daytime functionality and evening relaxation. With its moderate-to-high THC levels ranging from 22-28% and low CBD content of 0.5-1%, Chico provides potent effects while maintaining clarity.
