3 Times Crazy
OG Kush × Bubba Kush × Granddaddy Purple
3 Times Crazy is an indica-leaning hybrid recognized for its dense, often purple-streaked buds and a rich aroma profile. It is widely understood to be a cross of OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Granddaddy Purple, a lineage that suggests its soothing, body-focused characteristics. This strain is often chosen for evening relaxation and steady relief.
Appearance
The buds of 3 Times Crazy are typically dense and heavy, often exhibiting purple hues ranging from lavender to deep eggplant, especially when grown in cooler temperatures. They are characterized by tightly clustered calyxes, giving them a solid feel, and are frequently adorned with bright orange pistils against green or violet foliage. The plant structure is generally indica-dominant, with broad leaves and compact internode spacing.
A high trichome coverage is common, with resinous glands that become cloudy as the plant matures. This sticky resin makes it suitable for extraction. Careful airflow management is advised due to the bud density to prevent moisture issues.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 3 Times Crazy often presents a combination of sweet grape and mixed berry notes, layered over an earthy, kush-like base with hints of cocoa. Some variations may also carry a piney or fuel-like scent. When the buds are ground, the aroma intensifies, revealing spicy notes from caryophyllene and a subtle fuel undertone.
The flavor profile typically follows the aroma, starting with sweet grape and berry on the inhale, complemented by woody and spicy undertones. The exhale may leave a lingering pine-diesel taste, sometimes with subtle cocoa or coffee notes, reflecting its Kush and Bubba heritage.
Effects
Users often report that 3 Times Crazy delivers a calming and steady sensation, leaning towards full-body relaxation without causing significant mental fogginess. It is frequently described as providing a comfortable euphoria and a sense of well-being, making it suitable for unwinding.
The strain is also noted for its ability to promote focus, allowing for a balanced experience that can aid in decompressing while remaining somewhat engaged. Its effects are generally long-lasting, typically extending for several hours.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
3 Times Crazy typically exhibits a terpene profile led by myrcene, often accompanied by caryophyllene and limonene. This combination is associated with relaxation and mood elevation. The THC content generally falls in the high teens to low 20s, with minimal CBD content.
Growing
This strain is noted for its compact, resinous growth, generally finishing flowering in about 8 to 9 weeks indoors. It tends to produce dense buds, requiring careful humidity management to prevent issues like mold. Growers may observe variations in phenotype, with some leaning more towards the gas aroma of OG Kush and others exhibiting the squatness and purple coloration of Bubba Kush and Granddaddy Purple.
