What is the Cthulhu strain?
Cthulhu is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Cthulhu is a hybrid cannabis strain created as a cross between Sour Blueberry and Marie Laveau by Prime Wellness of Pennsylvania, where it represents one of their exclusive "Bred in PA" strains that are the result of seven years of selective breeding. Named after the tentacled creature from H.P. Lovecraft's science fiction, this strain exhibits an intense structural appearance with deep dark flavors of berries, garlic, and wood. The breeding goal was to create a strain featuring the medicinal effects and vigor of Sour Blueberry while adding the desirable looks, consistency, and indica effects from the proven Marie Laveau male parent.
The strain is known for its complex flavor profile that combines sweet blueberry, sour diesel, and garlicky herbs, with a berry-garlic diesel fuel funk that is hard to put into words. Prime Wellness has developed two primary phenotypes - Cthulhu #43 (Sour Garlic pheno) and Cthulhu #56 (Sour Grape pheno). The #43 phenotype features dense green buds with speckles of purple and a fragrance combining qualities of both parent strains, while the #56 Sour Grape pheno displays very strong trichome coverage with clear, sweet hints of citrus and pale notes of fermented grapes.
