Unknown
Blossom is an indica-dominant hybrid from Gage Green Genetics, developed in the early 2000s with a focus on enhancing potency and flavor. Its genetic makeup emphasizes indica traits, contributing to its deeply relaxing effects and aromatic profile.
Appearance
Blossom buds are dense and typically display a light to medium green coloration, often accented with purple undertones. A visible layer of trichomes covers much of the bud's surface, giving it a frosty appearance. The plant's structure is short and stocky, characteristic of its indica heritage, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation.
Aroma & Flavor

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 15-25%, with minimal CBD content (<1%). This cannabinoid profile contributes to its potent effects. While specific terpene data is limited, common profiles for similar strains include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, which influence its aroma, flavor, and therapeutic potential.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Gage Green Genetics, Blossom emerged in the early 2000s through meticulous cross-breeding aimed at optimizing both potency and sensory appeal. It is characterized by approximately 70-80% indica lineage, potentially sharing ancestry with Cherry Blossom varieties. Its development involved extensive phenotype selection to achieve a balanced and consistent genetic profile.
