Dioica 88

Dioica 88 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Dioica 88 is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community. The name appears to reference the scientific classification of cannabis (Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa, formerly classified as Cannabis sativa subsp. sativa var. sativa, with some historical references to Cannabis sativa var. indica Lam., and the dioecious nature of the plant (separate male and female plants), though the significance of '88' is unclear—possibly referring to a year, batch number, or breeding generation. The strain has gained limited but dedicated followings in certain cultivation circles, particularly among enthusiasts interested in unique genetic expressions.

The plant typically displays a balanced hybrid structure with moderately dense, resinous buds that exhibit a complex coloration ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. The foliage tends to be broad-leaved with some sativa-like stretching during flowering. Dioica 88 is noted for its distinctive terpene profile that combines earthy, woody base notes with surprising citrus and spice accents, creating a complex aromatic experience that evolves as the buds are cured.

While not widely commercialized, Dioica 88 has attracted attention for its reported balanced effects and unique genetic characteristics. Some cultivators value it for breeding projects due to its stable growth patterns and resin production. The strain remains somewhat enigmatic in the cannabis world, with limited documented history and varying reports about its exact genetic makeup and effects, making it a subject of interest for cannabis historians and genetic preservationists.
