What is the Pharaoh strain?

Pharaoh is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.

Pharaoh is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition in cannabis circles for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources trace it to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. Pharaoh is believed to have emerged from the Kush family lineage, with breeders selecting for its particularly heavy physical effects and resin production.

The strain's name references its regal appearance and effects, with dense, pyramid-shaped buds that are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes resembling desert sands. The flowers typically display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. Pharaoh's buds are notably dense and resinous, with a sticky texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand. The strain has gained popularity among evening and nighttime users seeking strong relaxation.

Pharaoh is characterized by its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, spicy, and sweet notes. The strain's effects are predominantly physical, with users reporting significant body relaxation that can progress to full sedation.
