Double Scorpion by The Landrace Team
Haze × Landrace varieties
Double Scorpion is a sativa-dominant strain meticulously bred by The Landrace Team, honoring pure sativa genetics. It bridges classic sativa profiles with modern cultivation, offering a distinct experience characterized by its energetic potential and complex aromatic profile.
Appearance
Double Scorpion buds are elongated and airy, typical of sativa varieties, and are densely covered in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. They display deep forest green with lighter lime hues, and sometimes purple undertones in cooler conditions. Vibrant amber pistils curl around the calyxes, and the buds are rich with sticky trichomes.
Microscopic analysis reveals a high density of glandular trichomes, indicating significant cannabinoid production. The buds can develop large colas, visually comparable to those of some indica strains, despite the plant's sativa heritage.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Double Scorpion is a complex blend of exotic, earthy notes with a vibrant, almost tropical character. Initial scents include citrus and subtle pine, layered with sweet and herbal undertones. This profile is indicative of its sativa lineage and high resin production.
Gas chromatography has identified limonene and pinene as key terpenes contributing to the strain's scent. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering a bright citrus opening followed by earthy, herbal, and spicy notes, with a sweet finish and hints of tropical fruit.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is reported to provide energetic and creative effects. Its profile is designed to stimulate the mind while also encouraging moments of introspection, aligning with its symbolic naming related to duality and celestial energy.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Independent lab tests show Double Scorpion typically contains between 18% and 22% THC. CBD levels are consistently below 1%. Key terpenes identified include Limonene and Pinene, contributing to its citrus and pine aromas, alongside Caryophyllene, which adds spicy notes.
