Next Level

Next Level is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and creamy flavor profile.

Next Level is a modern, potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. It was created by crossing the popular strains Gelato #41 and Sherbet, both of which are themselves notable hybrids with complex genetic backgrounds. This lineage places Next Level within the 'Cookie' family of strains, known for their dessert-like aromas and powerful effects. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of a wave of designer hybrids focused on maximizing potency, flavor, and bag appeal. Its name reflects its intended status as a step above other contemporary hybrids.

The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are often a vibrant green with striking purple and blue hues, accentuated by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes and bright orange pistils. The buds are usually chunky and tightly packed, resembling the structure of its Gelato parent. The aroma is a complex blend of sweet, creamy, and gassy notes, often described as reminiscent of a berry pastry with a diesel undertone. The flavor profile follows suit, offering a smooth, sweet smoke with earthy and spicy notes on the exhale.

Next Level is celebrated for its balanced yet powerful effects that begin with a cerebral, euphoric rush characteristic of its sativa-leaning heritage, followed by a deeply relaxing, full-body sensation that leans indica. This makes it a versatile strain for evening use. It has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis circles for its reliable potency and enjoyable sensory experience. As a relatively recent creation, its exact genetic stability and phenotypic variations can differ between growers.
