Van Gogh's Left Ear

Van Gogh's Left Ear is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its creative effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Van Gogh's Left Ear is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its unique name and artistic associations. The strain's origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed it independently. Most sources suggest it emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s, though some European breeders also claim to have created similar genetics around the same time. The name references the famous incident in which Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh severed part of his own ear, though the exact connection between this historical event and the strain's characteristics remains unclear.

The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that develop under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the dense buds, which are covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give the strain a frosty appearance. The buds have a moderately dense structure that breaks apart easily when handled, revealing complex aromatic profiles.

Van Gogh's Left Ear has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain has become particularly popular in artistic communities, though this association appears to be more cultural than genetic. Breeders have noted that the strain shows some phenotypic variation, with different phenotypes expressing slightly different terpene profiles and growth characteristics. While not among the most commercially widespread strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis enthusiast circles.
