Howard the Duck
What is the Howard the Duck strain?
Howard the Duck is a indica cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and coffee and earthy flavor profile.
Howard the Duck is a predominantly indica strain developed by Red Scare Seed Company, created through a cross of Daffie x (Bubba Kush x Alien Abduction). This unique hybrid combines the musky, coffee-infused characteristics of Daffie with the potent, sedating effects of the Bubba Kush x Alien Abduction cross. The strain is described as a clone-only variety that produces short, sturdy plants with solid yields. Howard the Duck has gained recognition within cannabis breeding circles for its exceptional genetic stability and has been used extensively in breeding projects, serving as a parent strain for numerous offspring including Darkwing Duck, Platinum Duck Sauce, and Howard's Royal Kush. The strain exhibits classic indica characteristics with dense flower structure and notable resin production. Its complex lineage traces back through LA Affie genetics (via Daffie) and classic OG Kush lines (via Alien Abduction), creating a rich terpene profile that includes distinctive coffee, garlic, and burnt rubber aromas. Despite being primarily indica in nature, Howard the Duck maintains enough hybrid vigor to be suitable for various cultivation environments.
