Exterminator
Also known as: Exterminator OG
Exterminator Strain Overview
Exterminator is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain was reportedly developed by breeders seeking to create a potent hybrid with distinctive pest-resistant qualities, though specific documentation about its exact origins remains limited. Its name reflects both its purported ability to 'exterminate' pests during cultivation and its powerful effects on consumers.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Exterminator is known for its pungent aroma that combines fuel-like notes with sweet undertones, making it distinctive among hybrid varieties.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Exterminator has maintained a niche following among cultivators and connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics. The strain's rarity means that specific phenotypic expressions can vary significantly between different growers and batches, with some phenotypes leaning more toward indica or sativa dominance depending on cultivation techniques and environmental factors.
