What is the El Patron strain?
El Patron is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
El Patron is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Royal Queen Seeds, created by crossing AMG (Amnesia Mac Ganja) with Shiva. This award-winning cultivar gained recognition at the Highlife Cup, where it won first place in the 'Common Weed Cultured in Soil' category in 2019. The strain features a 60% sativa and 40% indica genetic composition, offering users a harmonious blend of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. El Patron emerged in European seed catalogs during the late 2010s as part of a breeding movement focused on combining classic hashy profiles with modern citrus-forward, high-potency genetics. The name translates from Spanish to 'the boss,' reflecting its commanding presence in the cannabis community.
Physically, El Patron plants exhibit balanced hybrid characteristics with moderate internodal spacing and a manageable growth structure. The flowers display medium-dense colas with conical to spear-shaped architecture, featuring lime to forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. Under cooler nighttime temperatures during late bloom, some phenotypes may develop faint lavender or plum hues on sugar leaves. The buds are generously coated with a substantial layer of trichomes, creating a frosty, resinous appearance that becomes increasingly opaque by weeks 8-10 of flowering. The strain's aromatic profile is dominated by citrus and kush notes, with additional herbal, peppery, and spicy undertones that make it popular among cannabis chefs for culinary applications.

The flowering period is 9-10 weeks with indoor yields of 450-550g/m². Outdoor plants can reach 140-200cm in height with yields of 550-600g per plant, ready for harvest in late October.
