Garlic by Sensi Seeds

Garlic 

Lay all of your vampiric fears to rest! There’s enough garlic in this strain to ward off any creatures of the night! This pungent strain, also known as Garlic Bud, is a classic strain that has been around since the 90s! It was originally created by Sensi Seeds (formerly Seed Bank) and it is a direct descendant of the legendary Afghani landrace. Like its famous parent, Garlic is also an indica, and it has been tested to offer 18% to 21% THC levels, which back a heavy, full bodied and cerebral high that will offer you the utmost peace both physically and mentally! Unsurprisingly, this strain has notable aromas and flavours of garlic, though there are also tones of earthiness and spices that will leave you tempted to toss this into your favourite stir fry recipe! 

Effects

Despite being a pure indica, Garlic offers hard hitting and polarizing effects that take the best of indicas and sativas: heavily relaxing full bodied highs paired with uplifting cerebral buzz and euphoria! Some users report calming and happy effects almost immediately after the first toke, which only intensify as the high further progresses! Its body high may come as a creeper as you’ll soon be couch locked and even lethargic without even realizing it. Because of these debilitating effects, this strain is best used during evenings or weekends when you’re wanting to sit back and relax before dozing off! Its sedative nature makes it ideal for medical users seeking to alleviate pain and inflammation as well as insomnia. Its euphoric effects can also cater to relieving symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. 

THC Content

The Garlic strain is originally a pure indica, though there are phenotypes of it on the market as an indica leaning hybrid as well. While this strain is also commonly referred to as Garlic Bud or Garlic Kush, it is not to be confused with Garlic Breath or Garlic Cookies (GMO), which, despite their similar names and terpene profiles, actually aren’t bred from or related to the original Garlic! The strain’s THC levels range from as low as 18% potency upwards of 21%.  Its parent, the Afghani landrace, is one of the most legendary cannabis strains to exist, having been around for ages and is the parent to countless strains all over the world! A pure indica, Afghani offers from 16% to 20% THC as well as 1% CBD.

Appearance & Aroma

Garlic buds are tightly packed, making them a bit stiff. They are also relatively small–perhaps around the same size or smaller than your typical garlic cloves! They are a bright green that is comparable to lime or neon, with fuzzy orange pistils throughout. It is also finished in a sweet and sticky layer of resin! The strain has a strong and pungent, though not overpowering dominant aroma of fresh garlic paired with an equally strong earthiness. This pairing can give off the notion of freshly dug up garlic, however there are also undertones of musky tanginess and spices! Those who are fans of more pungent and savoury flavour complexes will undoubtedly adore this strain’s terpene profile!
