What is the The Hog strain?
The Hog is a indica cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
The Hog, also known as "Hog," "Haracept," and "Tennessee Hog," is an indica marijuana strain originally bred by T.H. Seeds in Amsterdam, The Hog is regarded as one of the strongest strains in the world and won a High Times Cannabis Cup for the best indica in 2002. Hog strain is a pure indica bred by T.H. seeds in Amsterdam, known as one of the strongest strains in the world. The origin of The Hog is a secret, the only thing that is known it contains genetics of the Northern Lights # 5 and the Williams Wonder. The resinous flowers have a pungently sour, earthy smell (which some consider to be the source to the strain's beastly name). Hog offers plump buds that range in shape from pointy and spadelike to almost cylindrical. The flowers cling together in a classically dense indica structure, with leaves curled tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves themselves are a bright shade of spring green and are twisted through with a high volume of orange hairs (which are actually pistils, structures meant to collect pollen from fertilizing male plants). Occasionally, phenotypes of Hog show off pale shades of purple in their leaves -- these surprising hues come about when pigments in the strain's genetics called anthocyanins are stimulated by colder than average weather during the growing process.
