What is the Samoas strain?
Samoas is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and chocolate flavor profile.
Samoas is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through crossing the delicious Forum Cut of Girl Scout Cookies X Face Off OG BX1. Named after the sticky sweet coconut treats, Samoas is a hybrid cultivar first bred by the team at Archive Seed Bank. This strain stands out as a noteworthy member of the Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) family, with an exceptional aroma and flavor profile, reminiscent of chocolate and berries or fruit, with a skunky undertone that signifies its strength. The buds typically exhibit a dense structure with a rich coating of trichomes that sparkle under light, with vibrant orange pistils adding contrast to the deep green foliage, making it as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate. With THC levels often reaching the high 20s and sometimes nearing 30%, alongside CBD levels that can reach up to 1%, Samoas delivers powerful effects.
