Epic is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Epic is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Acumen Genetics through crossing two legendary varieties: AK-47 and S.A.G.E. (Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium). This strain represents a sophisticated blend of international genetics, combining the robust lineage of AK-47 (which itself contains Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghan genetics) with the balanced hybrid qualities of S.A.G.E. The strain exhibits a 75% sativa and 25% indica genetic ratio, making it predominantly energizing while still providing some physical relaxation.
Epic produces plants with vigorous growth characteristics typical of sativa-dominant hybrids, featuring medium internode spacing that allows for good light penetration and airflow. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying vibrant orange pistils against a backdrop of bright green foliage. During the flowering period, plants may develop purple hues, particularly in cooler conditions. The strain is noted for producing high yields with proper cultivation techniques and maintains good resistance to common cannabis ailments including mold and mildew.
