Defcon D
Defcon D
Overview
Defcon D is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by ITC Genetics, characterized by its 70/30 indica to sativa ratio. This strain is notable for producing distinct phenotypic expressions, with three main phenotypes exhibiting different characteristics and flowering times. The strain displays strong structural growth patterns inherited from its Chem D parent, featuring robust stock with extreme branching that grows slowly but with notable strength. The strain was created by crossing Chem D, a legendary clone-only cultivar known for its potent effects and distinct chemical aroma profile, with Deer Creek #1, a unique male plant discovered from bag seeds obtained at a 1992 Grateful Dead concert in Indiana. This lineage connects Defcon D to notable cannabis genetics from the early 1990s underground scene, giving it both historical significance and unique genetic characteristics that set it apart from more common commercial strains.

Growing Information
Defcon D can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (8-10 weeks, 55-70 days range). The plant exhibits 30-50% stretch during flowering and displays strong stock with extreme branching, growing slowly but strongly like its Chem D parent. Different phenotypes may require extended flowering times, with some expressions needing 70+ days to fully mature. The strain produces baseball-sized buds that require support due to their weight. All phenotypes are light feeders but respond well to calcium-magnesium supplementation. The strain was never made available as feminized seeds and requires regular breeding practices.
