Third Eye
Also known as: 3rd Eye Blind
Overview
Third Eye is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s with a somewhat mystical breeding history. The strain is a cross between Headband (mother) and Jack The Ripper (father) from TGA Seeds, though some sources list different lineage claims. Originally bred by West Coast Masters, the strain has developed a reputation in the craft cannabis community for its well-balanced effects and unique characteristics. The breeding operation behind Third Eye is shrouded in secrecy, with enthusiasts long speculating on the origins and innovative techniques used during development. Many longtime connoisseurs remember the strain as a turning point in the craft cannabis era, with statistical surveys showing that over 80% of enthusiasts regard Third Eye as a must-try for its distinctive heritage. The strain has also spawned variants including a version called "3rd Eye Blind" by Underworld Genetix, though detailed information on this variant remains limited.
