Fat Geisha by Andromedas
Indica landrace varieties × Modern hybrids
Fat Geisha is an indica-dominant strain developed by Andromeda Strains, first appearing in the early 2010s. It combines traditional indica relaxation with unique aromatic qualities, making it a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal users.
Appearance
Fat Geisha presents visually striking, dense buds with a rich forest green color, often highlighted by deep purple undertones. The buds are generously coated in resinous trichomes, giving them a sparkling, frosted appearance. Large calyxes and bright orange pistils further enhance its visual appeal, indicative of its indica heritage and careful breeding.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Fat Geisha is a complex blend featuring earthy undertones, sweet floral notes, and a hint of spice, often compared to aged tea with citrus accents. Pine, herbal, and spicy scents emerge, creating a layered olfactory experience. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a refined taste that combines citrus, earthy, floral, herbal, orange, pine, spicy, and sweet notes.
Effects
This strain is primarily known for inducing calm and deep physical relaxation, characteristic of its indica genetics. Users often experience a slow onset of these soothing sensations, making it suitable for unwinding. The effects are generally consistent with a predominantly indica profile.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Genomic analysis suggests Fat Geisha carries high levels of myrcene and caryophyllene, terpenes associated with relaxation and stress relief. Laboratory data indicates a THC content typically ranging from 18% to 22%, with CBD levels below 1%. These components contribute to its potent effects and aromatic profile.
Origins & Lineage
Fat Geisha was bred by Andromeda Strains, emerging in the early 2010s. It is a predominantly indica-dominant strain, reportedly 70-80% indica, achieved by crossing select landrace indica varieties with modern hybrids. This selective breeding aimed to enhance its relaxing effects and aromatic complexity.
Growing
Fat Geisha exhibits traits common to indica-dominant strains, including a delayed flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks. The plants are noted for their solid structure and resilience. While specific yield and difficulty details are not extensively documented, its genetic stability suggests consistent performance under optimal cultivation conditions.
