90 Micron by Bloom Seed Co
Unknown
90 Micron is a hybrid cultivar developed by Bloom Seed Co., a breeder known for selecting plants with exceptional resin production. Its name references the 90-micron sieve used in ice water hash, indicating a focus on producing high-quality concentrates. This strain aims to balance uplifting cerebral effects with a calming physical sensation.
Appearance
The flower of 90 Micron typically presents dense, medium to large colas with buds shaped like golf balls or eggs. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, simplifying preparation. Its surface is heavily coated in trichomes, giving the buds a silvery-white appearance. Under magnification, these trichome heads are notably uniform and swollen.
Bud coloration ranges from lime to forest green, sometimes displaying lavender hues, particularly with cooler environmental conditions during late bloom. Vivid orange or copper pistils accent the green. The substantial resin layer often conceals deeper colors, signifying high glandular coverage. The bud structure is firm yet not excessively hard, allowing for good airflow during drying and reducing mold risk.
Aroma and Flavor
90 Micron offers a potent aroma designed to be noticeable across different stages of processing and storage. The terpene-focused bouquet commonly combines bright citrus and tropical notes with underlying spice and creamy undertones. Specific citrus notes include lemon zest and orange, sometimes described with a fizzy quality reminiscent of soda. Warmer notes of pepper and hops are contributed by compounds like beta-caryophyllene and humulene, while floral or cool undertones may come from linalool.
When ground, the flavor profile expands to include notes of stone fruit, mango, or candy, potentially due to preserved esters and beta-ocimene. A creamy characteristic, often likened to vanilla meringue or gelato, is also frequently reported, suggesting the presence of minor alcohols and other compounds.
Effects
As a hybrid, 90 Micron is designed to provide a balanced experience, combining mental uplift with physical relaxation. Users may find it promotes a sense of calm and can enhance focus. This makes it suitable for various times of day when a combination of cerebral clarity and bodily ease is desired.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The cannabinoid content of 90 Micron typically falls within the 22-28% THC range, with CBD levels below 1%. Its terpene profile is noted for its complexity, often featuring Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor characteristics, as well as its reported effects.
Origins and Lineage
90 Micron was developed by Bloom Seed Co., a breeder recognized for its focus on resin-rich genetics that perform well in extraction processes like ice water hash. While the specific parental strains have not been publicly disclosed, Bloom Seed Co. is known to utilize resin-proven families, including Cookie lines, Chem and OG derivatives, and dessert-forward hybrids. The selection process prioritizes traits like trichome density, stalk strength, and terpene retention through freezing and washing.
