Also known as: The Pooch
What is the Poochie Love strain?
Poochie Love is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
Poochie Love is a sativa-dominant hybrid (70/30) cannabis strain developed by Archive Seed Bank in Washington state. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of Archive's breeding program focused on preserving vintage Pacific Northwest genetics while providing modern potency and yield potential. The strain gained recognition in Oregon dispensaries before spreading to other adult-use markets across the United States. Poochie Love is characterized by its distinctive appearance featuring medium-to-large conical flowers with lumpy brown nugs, bright amber/rusty colored stigma and pistils, and a wealth of crusty, sugary trichomes. The buds have a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and range from medium-firm density on sativa-leaning phenotypes to very dense on OG-dominant cuts. The strain exhibits notable phenotypic variation, with expressions ranging from OG-leaning types with lemon-pine-earth gas profiles to sativa-leaning phenotypes with sharper terpenes and more aggressive stretch patterns. This variability is considered a feature rather than a flaw, allowing growers to select for either maximum yield or maximum character depending on their preferences.
