3g by Monster Flowers
Unknown
3g is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by Monster Flowers. It is recognized for its dense, resinous flower structure and is bred for both visual appeal and potency. This strain emphasizes body-focused relaxation and mental calmness.
Appearance
3g produces compact, conical buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, making for efficient trimming. The flowers often display a frosted, sugary look due to abundant trichome heads. Pistils typically mature to a deep tangerine or amber, contrasting with lime-to-forest green calyxes. Certain phenotypes may exhibit a faint violet hue in the sugar leaves under specific cool-night conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 3g is layered, beginning with earthy and gassy notes that evolve into spiced, sweet, and sometimes creamy undertones. Upon grinding, the scent intensifies with peppery-sweet fumes and a persistent Kush-like base, occasionally revealing hints of vanilla-cookie. The flavor profile carries an earthy, peppery Kush baseline complemented by sweet citrus or vanilla notes. Smoke is often described as dense and creamy, with a lingering sweetness on the palate.
Effects
As a mostly indica strain, 3g is associated with body-forward relaxation and a quieting of the mind. It is generally considered to have sedating qualities, promoting a sense of calm. This makes it a suitable choice for evening use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Key terpenes suggested by the aroma profile include caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, with potential contributions from linalool. Cannabinoid content typically features THC levels ranging from 22-28%, with CBD consistently below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present in trace amounts.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Monster Flowers, 3g is described as a modern indica lineage refined for bag appeal and potency. While a definitive parentage has not been publicly disclosed, its characteristics suggest influences from classic indica families like Afghan, Kush, or OG, possibly layered with contemporary dessert-like genetics. The breeding focus appears to have been on resin production and indica-dominant effects.
Growing
Indica-leaning plants like 3g typically favor moderate vegetative growth and a quick to medium flowering period. They respond well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training. Cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage may help enhance color and terpene retention. The dense bud structure and high calyx-to-leaf ratio contribute to efficient trimming.
