Appearance

Coup Detat typically produces dense, compact flowers with a high bract-to-leaf ratio. The buds are often lime to olive green, sometimes displaying lavender hues, and are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Pistils range from bright apricot to deep copper, and the cola structure often forms blunt torpedo shapes.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma is characterized by a strong savory and gassy profile, featuring notes of garlic, diesel, and chem. Upon breaking apart, sharp petrol, black pepper, and onion scents emerge, complemented by a subtle sweet undertone. The flavor closely follows the aroma, delivering a mouth-coating blend of garlic oil, pepper, and fuel-like notes, with potential hints of lavender and orange.

Effects

This strain is noted for its formidable potency and a deep, body-forward experience that can lead to a couch-melting sensation. Its high impact is designed to challenge tolerance, providing a robust and heavy effect.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Coup Detat is recognized for its high THC content, typically ranging from 10-11%, and possesses less than 1% CBD. While specific terpene profiles vary, common notes include those contributing to its pungent, diesel, and savory characteristics.

Growing

Cultivated by Purple City Genetics, this strain is bred for resin density and favorable pressing qualities. It is often grown indoors as premium flower, with an emphasis on producing dense, frosty buds. The flowering time is generally considered to be refined compared to its GMO predecessors, aiming for improved finishing times while maintaining potency and flavor.

Origins and Lineage

Coup Detat is a descendant of the GMO family, a line known for its pungent, savory, and diesel-forward characteristics. Purple City Genetics has focused on refining this lineage, aiming to enhance terpene intensity, resin production, and potentially reduce flowering time. While precise parentage is not widely disclosed, it is understood to be an evolution within the GMO genetic space.
