Quicksand
Also known as: QuickSand, Quick Sand
What is the Quicksand strain?
Quicksand is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Quicksand is a creation of Seed Junky Genetics, developed as the offspring of Otter Pop and Jealousy F2 strains. Originating in California in the early 2010s, this strain has quickly gained a reputation for its high THC levels and therapeutic benefits. This indica-dominant hybrid strain consists of approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics, though some sources describe it as 60% indica and 40% sativa. The strain features dense, olive-green buds with bright amber pistils and a shimmering layer of frosty trichomes, while the buds are compact and generously coated with a frosty layer of trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance with high resin content evident from the thick crystal coverage.
The strain has a cookie lineage that adds a delectably rich flavor profile, and is aptly-named with intense full-body effects that quickly lead to sedation, making this strain best suited for end-of-the-day enjoyment. With THC content ranging from 25% to 27% and low levels of CBD, Quicksand stands out for its potent effects and appealing characteristics. It's worth noting that there is another, lesser-known version of this strain bred by Aqualung Gardens, which crosses It's Fire x Witches Brew, a CBD-rich strain, and would qualify as a type II chemotype with a balance of CBD and THC.
