Poison Ivy
What is the Poison Ivy strain?
Poison Ivy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and creamy and diesel flavor profile.
Poison Ivy is a heavily indica-dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the potent White Widow X Northern Lights X New York Diesel X Durban Poison strains, though there are reports of alternate versions with genetics from White Widow X Starfighter. The strain was notably developed by independent scientist Jaymes Dogheim in Humboldt County, California, who has over 20 years of experience breeding cannabis plants. The strain gets its name from both its unique growth characteristics and its distinctive effects on users. Unlike traditional strains, one version grows in a vine-like, ivy format spreading horizontally along the surface of its grow medium rather than growing vertically, preventing the traditional canopy effect and allowing better light penetration.
Poison Ivy buds have fluffy, conical forest green nugs with dark purple undertones, thick orange hairs and a frosty coating of chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. This bud has a spicy and flowery flavor with hints of sweet woods and fresh earthiness, while the aroma takes it up a level, with a peppery, spicy overtone accented by deep diesel and flowery kush. The strain is known for producing creamy large colas with rock hard buds featuring intense fruity, sweet, creamy goodness.
