Salsa
Also known as: Salsa #1, Salsa #2
Salsa Strain Overview
Salsa is a flagship cannabis strain created by Prairie State Genetix (PSGx), originally developed and bred by Justin Lehmann in Illinois. This 50/50 hybrid strain is the result of crossing God Bud with a vintage 1980's Mexican Red Hair sativa, creating a unique clone-only variety that was first introduced to the Illinois medical cannabis community before spreading throughout the United States. The strain earned its distinctive name from its characteristic aroma profile - emitting the scent of actual salsa during the vegetative growth phase before transitioning to a complex lemon skunk and gasoline fragrance during flowering and curing. Originally released as a clone-only strain through the PSGx Clone Club, Salsa became available in feminized seeds and multiple crosses beginning in Fall 2020. The strain has been selectively bred into two primary phenotypes: Salsa #1, which exhibits more indica-dominant characteristics, and Salsa #2, which displays more sativa-dominant traits. The original parent strain God Bud contributes relaxing indica effects, while the Mexican Red Hair genetics add energetic sativa qualities, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid experience.
