Unicorn
Also known as: Unicorn Poop, Unicorn Piss
Unicorn Strain Overview
Unicorn is a relatively rare and potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among experienced cannabis consumers. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the United States during the early 2010s. The name 'Unicorn' reflects both its elusive nature in the market and its reputation for delivering a mythical, powerful experience. Some sources suggest it may be a phenotype or closely related to strains like Unicorn Poop or Unicorn Piss, though genetic testing to confirm precise lineage is limited.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues, frequently accented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes. The buds are usually compact and chunky, with a sticky texture that indicates high resin production. The aroma profile is complex and intense, often described as a blend of sweet, fruity notes with undertones of earth and fuel.
Unicorn has gained notoriety primarily for its exceptionally high THC content, which frequently tests above 25%, placing it among the most potent cannabis strains available. This potency, combined with its balanced hybrid effects, makes it particularly sought after by consumers with high tolerance levels. The strain's rarity in commercial markets contributes to its mystique, with many enthusiasts considering it a 'holy grail' find when available from specialty growers or dispensaries.

Unicorn Strain Growing Information
Unicorn is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, recommended for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate nutrient support during flowering. Some phenotypes may require additional support for heavy colas. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
