Dirty Ernie
Dirty Ernie
Overview
Dirty Ernie is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Herring Chokers, an American micro breeder established in 2014. The strain represents a cross between Delirious (which itself is a cross of Hippy Slayer x Granddaddy Purple) and Skunky Beaumont. This genetic combination brings together the relaxing indica properties of Granddaddy Purple with the energetic characteristics of sativa genetics, creating a balanced hybrid experience. Herring Chokers is known as a boutique breeder focusing on unique genetic combinations, with Dirty Ernie being one of their notable offerings available only in feminized seed form.
The strain's lineage traces back to well-established genetics including Granddaddy Purple, a renowned indica-dominant strain created by Ken Estes in 2003, known for its deep purple coloration and grape-like flavors. The Hippy Slayer component contributes classic indica effects from Afghanistan, Colombia, and Thailand genetics, while Skunky Beaumont adds the characteristic pungent skunk aroma and balanced effects. This combination results in a strain that offers both mental stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various uses throughout the day.
