Hemlock Strain Overview
Hemlock is a hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing the powerhouse Durban Poison and LA Confidential strains. This strain is found mostly in Colorado and averages about 21% THC, featuring a short, stocky, easy-to-grow structure with good yields and high resin production. Hemlock is considered a rare evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa), though some commercial growers describe its genetics as more sativa-leaning while suggesting it as a hybrid due to its relaxing effects after an initial uplifting period.
The buds are characterized by round, grape-shaped minty green nugs with bright orange hairs and a coating of tiny amber crystal trichomes. Hemlock is known for its distinctive aroma of sweet grapefruit with a hint of ammonia, which becomes harsh and chemical-like when the nugs are burned. The plant produces thick, dense buds that closely resemble Durban Poison's vibrant orange hairs wrapped in dark green, dense buds. Named after the poisonous plant historically used in ancient executions, this cannabis variety offers therapeutic benefits without the toxicity of its namesake.
