Short Texas

Short Texas is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.

Short Texas is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that originated in the southwestern United States, specifically bred for its compact growth structure and potent effects. The strain was developed by crossing classic Texas landrace genetics with Northern Lights, resulting in a plant that maintains the earthy, pungent characteristics of its Texas heritage while incorporating the resin production and manageable size of its Northern Lights lineage. This combination created a strain particularly suited for discreet cultivation and indoor growing environments where space is limited.

The strain's name reflects both its geographical origins and its distinctive growth pattern. Short Texas plants typically reach heights of only 60-90 cm (24-36 inches) when mature, making them significantly shorter than many other cannabis varieties. The buds are dense and compact, with a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues and covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of indica genetics, with the plant producing a moderate yield of tightly packed flowers.

Short Texas gained popularity among home growers and medical users in the early 2000s for its combination of manageable size, relatively short flowering time, and consistently potent effects. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in the southern United States where its heat tolerance makes it suitable for outdoor cultivation. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding programs to create other compact, high-THC varieties.
