Upstream

Upstream is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Upstream is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis literature. The strain is believed to have been developed by boutique breeders in Oregon or Washington state, with its name potentially referencing the concept of moving 'upstream' against conventional breeding trends or possibly relating to its purported energizing effects. Limited documentation exists about its specific breeding history, making it one of the less-documented strains in mainstream cannabis databases.

Visually, Upstream typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes and contrasting orange pistils. The strain's aroma profile is frequently described as complex, blending earthy and pine notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor upon consumption tends to mirror this aromatic complexity with added herbal notes.

Upstream is noted for its balanced effects that reportedly begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to more physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day according to user reports. The strain's relative obscurity means that consistent information about its characteristics is limited, and what is known comes primarily from anecdotal grower and consumer reports rather than extensive laboratory testing or widespread commercial cultivation.
