Overview
X-Files is an evenly balanced hybrid strain created by Pheno-Type Seeds through a three-way cross of Sour Diesel, The Mask, and Purple Drank. Named after the popular television series, this strain embodies mystery and intrigue with its complex effects and unique characteristics. The strain inherits its tangy, uplifting qualities from Sour Diesel while The Mask contributes to its euphoric properties and Purple Drank adds relaxing indica effects. X-Files produces distinctive foxtail-shaped buds that are bright neon green with amber undertones, fiery orange hairs, and a thick coating of resinous trichomes. The strain is known for its dense, heavy buds that take after its Sour Diesel parent while maintaining the sturdy structure inherited from Purple Drank's pure indica genetics.
The strain offers a well-balanced experience that begins with energizing cerebral effects before transitioning into a relaxing body high. Users report that X-Files provides both mental stimulation suitable for detail-oriented tasks and eventual physical relaxation that makes it ideal for evening use. The strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent effects, with THC levels consistently measuring above 20%, and its complex terpene profile that produces a distinctive aroma and flavor combination.
