Overview
Wrecking Ball is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from Wonder Diesel and OD (likely Old Dirty, a strain from Homegrown Natural Wonders). This potent strain is characterized by its moss-like appearance with bright green buds featuring vibrant orange hairs and a generous coating of white crystal trichomes. The strain has gained recognition for its exceptional yield and dense, bushy growth pattern. Originally developed as a cross between two powerful parent strains, Wrecking Ball delivers a robust combination of earthy and sweet notes with subtle spice undertones. The strain's name aptly reflects its powerful effects, which can be overwhelming for inexperienced users but provide therapeutic benefits for those seeking relief from various ailments. Its dense buds and resinous nature make it popular among both recreational users and medical marijuana patients who appreciate its sedating properties and smooth smoke profile.

Growing Information
Wrecking Ball requires intermediate growing experience due to its dense and bushy growth pattern. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with flowering times of 8-10 weeks indoors and harvest ready around mid-October outdoors. Indoor cultivation benefits from soil or hydroponic systems, with the Screen of Green (SCROG) method being particularly effective for height management and yield maximization. The plant grows to an average height of 60-80 cm and can produce excellent yields of up to 20 ounces outdoors under optimal conditions. Heavy defoliation and pruning are recommended to reach full potential.
