Cyanide
Cyanide Strain Overview
Cyanide is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has generated both interest and controversy due to its provocative name. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. What is known suggests it likely emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles, possibly on the West Coast of the United States. The name 'Cyanide' appears to be a marketing choice rather than a reflection of the strain's chemical composition, though this has led to criticism from some cannabis advocates who argue it promotes harmful associations.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silver-white appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The buds are often resinous and sticky to the touch, with a complex aroma profile that combines fuel-like notes with sweeter undertones.
Cyanide is considered a balanced hybrid with effects that users describe as initially cerebral and uplifting before transitioning to more relaxing physical sensations. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its potent effects and complex flavor profile. Due to its limited commercial availability and somewhat controversial name, Cyanide remains a niche strain primarily circulated within specific cannabis communities rather than mainstream dispensaries.

Cyanide Strain Growing Information
Cyanide is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some pruning and training for optimal light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues.
