What is the Genius strain?
Genius is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Genius is a rare evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created as a phenotype of the infamous Jack Herer strain discovered by the famed Brothers Grimm cannabis breeders. The Brothers Grimm found seeds in a bag of Jack Herer bud while visiting an Amsterdam coffeeshop, took the seeds home with them and grew them, resulting in the famous Genius strain and the even more famous Cinderella 99. Genius is the name given to a Haze phenotype from the Jack Herer plant, called Genius because of the strong introspective type of high. This strain is considered one of the parent genetics for several notable offspring including Apollo 11 and Apollo 13. Genius buds have spade-shaped airy forest green nugs with lots of thin orange hairs and a coating of frosty tiny amber crystal trichomes. The strain has gained legendary status among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent cerebral effects and complex flavor profile, though it remains quite rare and difficult to find in seed form.
