Gengar by Palaces Seeds
Unknown × Unknown
Gengar is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by Palaces Seeds, a breeder recognized for producing resinous and flavorful strains. It is named for its deep purple coloration and its potent, swiftly appearing effects.
Appearance
Gengar presents dense, compact buds that often display deep plum to eggplant hues, contrasted by lime-green undertones and copper pistils. A heavy coating of silvery trichomes gives the flowers a frosted, sugar-dusted look. The buds have a firm structure and minimal leaf content, making them visually appealing and easy to trim.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Gengar is characterized by sweet notes of grape and berry, reminiscent of candy, layered over a base of earthy spice and a hint of diesel. Upon inhalation, flavors of sweet fruit and subtle florals dominate, transitioning into a mid-palate spice and woodiness. The exhale can carry a slightly gassy and peppery finish, leaving a lingering sweetness.
Effects
This strain delivers heavy-hitting effects that can manifest suddenly, providing a significant sense of relaxation. Its indica dominance results in a weighty, body-focused experience that consumers often find stealthy due to its gradual onset.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Gengar typically tests between 20-27% THC and contains less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is noted to be rich, with common terpenes including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor.
Growing
Developed for vigorous growth and high resin production, Gengar plants are typically squat and bushy, finishing indoors between 80-120 cm. It responds well to training techniques like topping and SCROG. The strain exhibits dense bud structure with tight internodal spacing, requiring attention to airflow. Cooler temperatures during late flowering can enhance its purple coloration.
Origins & Lineage
Gengar was bred by Palaces Seeds, a boutique breeder focusing on resin production and flavor. While the exact parentage is not publicly disclosed, the cultivar is believed to be a modern indica derived from Kush and Afghan genetics, with a breeding goal of short stature, high trichome density, and dessert-like aromas. Its development likely incorporated influences from modern dessert strains and purple Kush/Afghan stock.
