What is the El Cid strain?
El Cid is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and cheese and creamy flavor profile.
El Cid is a rare evenly balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through collaboration between All Star Genetics and a Spanish breeder. This three-way hybrid combines genetics from Moroccan Sativa Hash Plant and the infamous Cheese strain, resulting in what breeders describe as 'pure dankness.' Named after the legendary Spanish military leader Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, the strain embodies resilience and potency, living up to its namesake's reputation for never backing down.
The strain produces dense, lumpy minty green buds adorned with deep reddish-orange hairs and a thick coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. El Cid is particularly valued by experienced growers for its massive yield potential of 500-600 grams per square meter when cultivated skillfully. The strain exhibits robust growth patterns and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, though it requires some experience to achieve optimal results. Currently, the strain appears to be discontinued by most major seed banks, making it increasingly rare in the cannabis market.
