What is the Girl Crush strain?
Girl Crush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and diesel and fruity flavor profile.
Girl Crush is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by Twenty 20 Genetics through crossing Biscotti with Bad Girl. This cultivar emerged in the late-2010s during the boutique wave of dessert-leaning hybrids, gaining attention for its glossy trichomes and distinctive profile. The strain is named after its parent Bad Girl but should not be confused with Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), as it is a completely distinct cultivar. Girl Crush is particularly notable for its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, rounded forest green nugs with bright neon undertones, rich purple hues, thin light orange hairs, and a thick coating of sparkling white crystal trichomes. The strain has become a fan favorite among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects and unique aromatic profile. As its original cultivator Twenty 20 Genetics is located in California's Mendocino County, this strain is sometimes referred to as 'Mendocino Girl Crush,' reflecting its prestigious growing region known for premium cannabis cultivation.
