Sativa Landrace Genetics × Modern High-Yielding Strains
Grass Fed is a hybrid strain developed by Aqualung Gardens, known for its meticulous breeding and balanced profile. Introduced in 2015, this strain combines traditional genetics with modern cultivation techniques to offer a distinct sensory and experiential profile.
Appearance
Grass Fed buds are visually striking, characterized by their dense and compact structure. They display vibrant green coloration interspersed with hints of yellow and purple, generously coated in shimmering trichomes that give them a crystalline appearance. Bright orange pistils add to the strain's aesthetic appeal, while the plant's overall structure can exhibit a tall, lanky build reminiscent of sativa genetics, despite broad, serrated leaves often associated with indica varieties.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Grass Fed is frequently described as reminiscent of freshly cut grass, layered with earthy undertones and balanced by herbal and citrus notes. Upon closer inspection, subtle spicy and floral nuances emerge, creating a complex olfactory experience. The flavor profile mirrors this complexity, beginning with a dominant grassy taste complemented by earthy tones and a hint of spice, often compared to Mediterranean herbs. A subtle sweetness lingers post-consumption.
