What is the Green Crack strain?

Green Crack is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Green Crack is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain originally created in Athens, Ohio around 1990 by crossing an 1989 Super Sativa Seed Club Skunk #1 with an unknown indica, likely an Afghani landrace. The strain was originally bred by Cecil C., who called it "Cush" (with a C), but was later renamed "Green Crack" by rapper Snoop Dogg in the early 2000s, though some growers still prefer the original "Green Cush" name to avoid negative connotations. This strain maintains a 65% sativa and 35% indica genetic composition, making it a balanced yet energizing cultivar that has remained popular since the 1970s. Originally circulating since the 1970s, Green Crack gained its distinctive nickname for its sharp aroma and standout character, though the name has sparked debate within the cannabis community.

The buds are characterized by their tight, bright green appearance with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. Despite its sativa-dominant genetics, Green Crack often forms indica-like, compact and dense buds. The strain is renowned for its tangy, fruity flavor profile reminiscent of mango and tropical citrus, with earthy undertones. Few strains compare to Green Crack's sharp energy and focus, inducing an invigorating mental buzz that keeps users going throughout the day with its distinctive mango-like flavor. This cultivar helped usher in a wave of citrus-forward cannabis varieties that became especially popular in early recreational markets.
