Special Needs
What is the Special Needs strain?
Special Needs is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
Special Needs is a complex cannabis hybrid bred by Holy Smoke Seeds, created as a four-way cross resulting from Bubba Kush, Tre Star Dawg, Bubba 13 and TopDawg's Hash Plant cross. However, it is also described as essentially a cross of 2 of Holy Smoke's top strains (Ox x Guide Dawg), where Ox (Bubba Stone Mountain) represents the indica-dominant side of the genetics. This strain was Holy Smoke's special stash for the year or so before release as they wanted to test it fully, demonstrating the breeder's commitment to quality and stability. It is named after its profound medicinal qualities and will be most suitable for those with special medical needs. The strain exhibits mostly indica characteristics while retaining taste very similar to that of the Bubba Kush but it is undoubtedly its therapeutic value that will really attract fans. Special Needs is noted for being too potent for the average user and not for the novices amongst us as her profile now is rather strong for the average consumer. The strain has proven to be a true growers powerhouse now but still retaining all the bubbas taste on a whole, but boosted beautifully by the Stardawgs reach.
