Undertow Strain Overview
Undertow is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through a genetic cross between Gushers and Wet Betty, bred by Colors by Cultivar in collaboration with Cookies. This strain emerged from meticulous breeding practices aimed at combining robust genetic heritage with distinct aesthetic and sensory profiles. The development involved multiple iterations and careful selection through hand-pollination techniques, with over 85% success in achieving desired traits in controlled experiments. Undertow represents a sophisticated hybrid that expertly balances the best characteristics of its indica and sativa lineage, incorporating over 50% indica characteristics while retaining almost 50% sativa vigor in its physical growth and psychoactive effects.
The strain displays pale green buds with purple accents and thick trichome frost, creating visually appealing flowers with a frosty blanket that indicates high resin concentrations. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a structure documented to carry 20-25% greater density than average hybrid strains. Users often describe its aroma and flavor profile as emitting a complex palate of fruit, gas, earth, pine, sweet lime, and candy tones. The strain has been noted for its smooth and fruity taste with hints of candy and sweetness, creating what users describe as an explosion of sweet lime and candy flavors reminiscent of its Gushers parent strain lineage.
