Murder Hornet
Also known as: Murder Hornet OG
Murder Hornet Strain Overview
Murder Hornet is a relatively new cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining attention for its potent effects and distinctive terpene profile. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known parent strains, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in the cannabis community. Its name references the aggressive Asian giant hornet species, metaphorically suggesting the strain's powerful impact rather than any actual connection to the insect.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Murder Hornet is known for its balanced hybrid effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it popular among experienced cannabis consumers seeking strong psychoactive experiences.
While not as historically established as classic strains, Murder Hornet has gained recognition in certain cannabis markets for its high THC content and unique flavor combination. The strain's rarity and limited documented history mean that some information about its characteristics may vary between different growers and regions. As with many modern hybrid strains, its exact genetic expression can differ depending on cultivation practices and phenotype selection.
