Detonator
What is the Detonator strain?
Detonator is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Detonator is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its powerful effects and distinctive characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2000s from underground breeding circles, possibly on the West Coast of the United States. Breeders sought to create a strain with explosive potency, hence the name 'Detonator,' which reflects its reputation for delivering intense effects that can be overwhelming for inexperienced users.
Visually, Detonator typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining fuel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Detonator has maintained a cult following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its powerful effects, though it has not achieved widespread commercial popularity. The strain is known for its balanced hybrid effects that can lean slightly indica-dominant depending on phenotype and growing conditions. Its reputation as a 'heavy hitter' makes it less suitable for novice users but valued by those seeking strong therapeutic or recreational effects.

The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
