What is the Dark Helmet strain?
Dark Helmet is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Dark Helmet is an indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the classic Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies X Jawa Pie strains. Named for the infamous Spaceballs character, Dark Helmet is, surprisingly, one of the most calming strains on the market. The strain is the result of a special project locking down the unique traits and flavor profile of Forum Girl Scout Cookies into seed form by back-crossing the clone only cut to Jawa Pie (Key Lime Pie x Alien Rift) frost male. Key Lime Pie is a clone-only 'sister' phenotype or cultivar of the Girl Scout Cookies lineage.
Dark Helmet buds have rounded olive green nugs with thick amber hairs, chunky matching trichomes, and a thick gooey layer of sweet syrupy resin covering each and every leaf. Different phenotypes can exhibit varying characteristics, with one showing purple leaves and fat chunky tops with an almost lavender smell, while another has leaves that turn nearly black with buds staying key lime green and emitting a lime sugar cookie aroma. The strain can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 63-70 days.
