Picchu
Picchu Strain Overview
Picchu is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by Perfect Tree through crossing Bingsu with a reversed female Peach Ozz. Named in honor of both a friend from the Perfect Tree breeding team and the majestic Peruvian landscapes of Machu Picchu, this strain represents an adventure in cannabis genetics that captures both cultural significance and exceptional breeding craftsmanship. The strain showcases the hallmarks of modern hybrid breeding, combining traits from both indica and sativa genetics to offer fast growth and structure typically associated with sativas, while delivering dense buds and heavy, relaxing effects characteristic of indicas.
Picchu is particularly renowned for its unique and deeply complex terpene profile that centers around a distinctive combination of creamy and gassy aromas. This strain stands out in the cannabis world for offering what Perfect Tree describes as a terpene bomb with creamy, fruity notes that create an olfactory experience unlike most other strains. The plant demonstrates exceptional hybrid vigor and growth potential, developing thick branches and lush green leaves that explode with life from the earliest stages of growth. The strain exhibits vigorous, fast growth patterns that require careful management during the vegetative stage to prevent excessive stretching.
