Dirty Taxi
Dirty Taxi
Also known as: Dirty Taxi Strain
Overview
Dirty Taxi is a premium cannabis hybrid strain created by Top Dawg Seeds through the crossing of GMO (Garlic, Mushroom, Onions) and Chem I-95, two powerhouse genetics that produce a unique and potent offspring. This sativa-dominant hybrid (typically 70% sativa/30% indica) has gained significant popularity among cannabis connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and well-balanced effects. The strain emerged during the late-2010s to early-2020s wave of chem-forward cannabis culture and quickly gained traction in markets across the East Coast before spreading to national dispensary menus. Visually, Dirty Taxi produces dense, medium-to-large buds with a spear-shaped silhouette and thick calyx stacking. The flowers display saturated olive to forest green coloration with darker purple accents when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. Vivid orange pistils stand out against a frosted, glassy trichome field that creates an almost wet, sugar-coated appearance. The strain's name references its bold, funky aroma profile that some describe as reminiscent of the inside of a New York taxi cab - a unique combination of diesel, garlic, cheese, and earthy funk that makes it instantly recognizable.

Growing Information
Dirty Taxi is considered moderately challenging to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain is robust and adaptable, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor flowering time ranges from 54-70 days (approximately 8-10 weeks), with most phenotypes finishing around 63 days. Plants typically reach medium-tall height (5-8 feet) and develop a sturdy structure with thick stalks and broad fan leaves. Indoor yields can reach up to 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 400-550 grams per plant. The strain prefers warm, sunny climates when grown outdoors, with harvest typically occurring in early to mid-fall. Regular pruning may be necessary, especially for outdoor grows, though plants usually don't require extensive support. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) techniques and benefits from proper airflow control and humidity management. Growers should maintain crisp nighttime temperatures during late flowering to enhance trichome production.
