Appearance

3D typically presents elongated, green colas with lighter green sugar leaves and orange pistils. Its buds are often spearlike rather than dense nuggets, characteristic of sativa genetics. Well-developed flowers are coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and feature narrow leaves with moderate spacing between nodes, promoting airflow.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of 3D is primarily earthy, complemented by notes of pine and citrus. Upon breaking apart the buds, scents of fresh soil, cedar, and a hint of green apple may be detected. Its flavor profile often mirrors its aroma, with earthy, citrus, and sometimes herbal undertones, making it a popular choice for pairing with coffee.

Effects

As a sativa-leaning strain, 3D is known for providing an energetic and cerebral lift, promoting creativity and focus. It is generally considered a functional daytime strain, offering motivation and a sense of get-up-and-go without excessive edginess. While primarily uplifting, it offers enough body ease to remain functional rather than couch-locking.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

3D is a THC-dominant (Type I) cultivar, typically containing 18-24% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile often includes compounds like myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, and terpinolene. The presence of pinene and terpinolene is frequently associated with its clear-headed and motivational effects.

Growing

3D generally exhibits a medium-to-tall growth habit with strong apical dominance, typical of sativa genetics, and can stretch significantly after the light cycle flip. Its buds are medium in density with good calyx-to-leaf ratios, contributing to mold resistance. The plant's structure offers good airflow, making it somewhat forgiving in cultivation.

Origins & Lineage

Bred by Apothecary Genetics, 3D is a mostly sativa cultivar that emerged from the Southern California medical cannabis scene. While its exact parentage is not publicly disclosed, its characteristics suggest influence from classic sativa lineages known for uplifting effects. The breeder is known for developing strains with robust structure and pronounced terpene profiles.
