The Church
Also known as: Church OG
The Church Strain Overview
The Church is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica, 40% sativa) developed by the renowned Green House Seeds of the Netherlands. This strain was created through a carefully selected cross between Swiss Sativa, Super Skunk, and Northern Lights, with some sources also mentioning Erdbeer (German for Strawberry), a Swiss sativa hybrid, in the lineage. Bred by the legendary Arjan Roskam, known as the 'King of Cannabis,' The Church has become one of Green House Seeds' most popular offerings, particularly favored by outdoor growers.
The strain is characterized by its dense, light green buds covered in thick resin and vibrant orange hairs weaving through the foliage. The Church displays excellent mold resistance, making it highly suitable for humid environments and challenging growing conditions. Plants develop a bushy, Christmas-tree structure with strong branches capable of supporting heavy flowers while resisting wind damage. The strain has earned multiple awards at the High Times Cannabis Cup and other international cannabis competitions, cementing its reputation as a top-tier variety among connoisseurs and cultivators worldwide.
