Turing
Also known as: Turing Test
Turing Strain Overview
Turing is a relatively rare cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, known for creating unique and potent hybrids. The strain was created by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with a selected phenotype of the exotic strain Cherry Pie, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the best traits of both parent strains. Turing first gained attention in the cannabis community around 2015-2016 and has remained a sought-after strain among connoisseurs despite its limited commercial availability.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced during cooler growing conditions. Turing is particularly noted for its heavy trichome coverage, giving the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The pistils range from orange to rust-colored, creating a striking contrast against the dark foliage.
Turing's name appears to be a reference to the Turing test in computer science, possibly alluding to the strain's ability to 'fool' users with its complex effects profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Turing has developed a reputation among experienced cannabis users for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain remains somewhat elusive in commercial markets but continues to be cultivated by specialty growers and breeders who appreciate its unique genetic heritage.

Turing Strain Growing Information
Turing is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Turing plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training.
Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper care, while outdoor cultivation in suitable climates can produce substantial harvests. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and manage height. Turing prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants benefit from good air circulation and proper nutrient management, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to nutrient burn if overfed.
