Snake Oil
Also known as: Snake Oil by Greenpoint Seeds
Snake Oil Strain Overview
Snake Oil is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Greenpoint Seeds, created as a cross between Bio-Diesel (mother) and Stardawg (father). This strain represents a collaboration of old-school heavy-hitting genetics, combining the legendary Sensi Star lineage through Bio-Diesel with the potent Chemdawg genetics of Stardawg. Bio-Diesel, which won the 2009 Harvest Cup in Colorado, is itself a cross between Sensi Star and Sour Diesel, contributing to Snake Oil's complex genetic makeup that includes approximately 25% Sensi Star, 25% Sour Diesel, 25% Chem 4, 22% Chem D, and 3% Afghan genetics.
The strain produces medium to tall plants with dense, resinous buds that display excellent trichome production. Users report that Snake Oil lives up to its name as a "raunchy flavor bomb" with an intense, overwhelming palate dominated by diesel, fuel, and skunk aromas with underlying citrus and pine notes. The buds are known for their sticky, resinous quality and potent effects that can range from uplifting euphoria to heavy sedation depending on dosage. Growers note the strain's stability, uniform growth patterns, and generous yields, though it requires proper ventilation due to its extremely pungent aroma during cultivation and curing.
